At a glance
The single most actionable email insight: how much revenue each email earns, split by campaign type. Triggered lifecycle messages (abandoned cart, welcome, post-purchase) routinely earn 10-80x more revenue per email than one-to-many broadcasts, because they reach a buyer at the moment of intent. Seeing the gap tells you where the next pound of email effort should go.
| What it counts | For each campaign lifecycle type: sum(revenue) / sum(emails sent) = revenue per email. Revenue is de-formatted from Dotdigital’s "£7,373.91" strings; sends use numTotalSent. |
| Campaign type | Classified from the campaign name (the v2 summary endpoint omits tags): Abandoned Cart, Welcome, Win-back / Lapsed, Birthday, Recommender, Post-Purchase, Triggered (other), and Broadcast (everything else). |
| Chart | Horizontal bar, one row per type, sorted by revenue/email. Headline value = the best-performing type’s revenue/email. |
| Why it matters | A broadcast at £0.007/email vs an abandoned-cart flow at £0.54/email is the clearest “build more automations” signal in the platform. |
How to act on it
- If a triggered type (abandoned cart, welcome) sits far above broadcast, that’s headroom: expand the automation’s coverage and entry points before sending more broadcasts.
- If broadcast is your only meaningful bar, you’re leaving lifecycle revenue on the table, stand up an abandoned-cart and welcome programme first.
- Use it alongside Programme vs Campaign Revenue Mix to see both the share and the efficiency of each channel.
Data notes
- Coverage reflects the campaigns Vortex IQ has summaries for. The live view samples the most-recent campaigns; the full lifecycle picture (including older triggered programmes) lands with the nightly Dotdigital sync, which pulls every campaign summary.
- Revenue requires e-commerce revenue tracking to be enabled in Dotdigital; accounts that pass only order counts will show low/zero per-email revenue.
