Email domain report

After following this guide, you will end up with a report providing an overview both in a table and in a chart. The view is customizable. After you make the report there are two possible outcomes.

Either all of the metrics are consistent across all MSPs or there are some for which the rates are disproportionately low. If it is the former, the problem with your email campaign doesn't lie with the MSP. However, if it is the latter, you have just identified an MSP that is causing the problem. You need to find out what is different about the particular MSP. For example, in the image below, Microsoft and Google have ⅓ of the Apple and Verizon open rate. This is alarming and should be investigated.

This is how the report will look after successfully completing the guide.

Domain strip scenario

1. For the report, you will first need to have a scenario creating a customer attribute with just the stripped domain from a full email address.

2. Select the Now trigger (green).
3. Then, add a condition (together with connecting it to the trigger) as shown below.

4. Select a Set attribute operator and create an attribute email_domain by typing it down and clicking on the plus sign.

5. As a Value, insert the text below. After doing this last step, your scenario is ready to be used.

{{ customer.email.split('@') | last }}

6. Start the scenario (top-right corner) and after a while, click Stop, as this is a one-time process.

However, after this initial process, you will have to alter the scenario so it always does the same process with all the new addresses.

Firstly, will need to swap the Now green trigger for a Repeat trigger and set it to repeat daily.

Next, change the condition in the middle of the scenario. In addition to the existing filter, add a new one where the attribute email_domain equals not set, as shown in the picture below.

This way, all of the new email addresses will be included and the email domain will be stripped from them on a daily basis.
