Analysis workflow step

Apple Mail Privacy Protection: If your recipients have Apple Mail Privacy Protection enabled, the email client will automatically download all the images contained in your mailing (including tracking pixels) after they receive it. Since openings in email marketing can only be recorded indirectly through the mailing images being downloaded, manual openings cannot be recorded if they are opened at a later date.

As of version 4.8.35, Inxmail Professional counts these automatic image downloads as not being opened in the metrics based on openings.

The Analysis workflow step within a split test mailing or split test object is only enabled when the split test has the status Current version dispatch status.

Mailings agent

In the Mailings agent > Split test mailings, a visual link analysis is generated in the Analysis workflow step.

This report graphically displays the links that recipients clicked (and how often). The analysis is generated for the recipient currently selected in the Check workflow step using the Contents button. In the area on the left, you can configure the key performance indicators for which the visual link evaluation should be generated.

The legend will be generated in real time to match the performance indicators you select. During this process, Inxmail Professional determines the classification into links marked green, orange and red based on the click values of the current mailing (for example, how often a single link in this mailing was most frequently clicked; how often the links in this mailing were clicked on average). This allows you to recognise which links in your mailing were clicked frequently and which links infrequently.

Explanation for determining colour identification The threshold value for grouping into the corresponding colour category is a third of the CTOR of the most frequently clicked link. Red therefore means that the corresponding links were clicked less than a third as often as the most frequently clicked link. Yellow means between one and two thirds, and green means more than two thirds.

Split tests agent

In the Split tests agent, a report is generated in the Analysis workflow step of a selected mailing. This report uses key performance indicators to show how well the individual mailing versions were received.

The report header contains the basic data of the split test (list name, name of the split test, split test type, etc.); all mailing versions and, if applicable, the winning version are displayed under Associated mailings.

All important key figures for the sent mailing versions and, if applicable, the winning version appear in the Key performance indicators table.
