A Guide to Email Attribution Settings: How to Customize It

You can customize email attribution settings by determining which emails should be tracked, which emails should be excluded from the tracking, and which emails should be attributed to the referring source. You can also specify which emails should be attributed to specific campaigns or segments.

A conversion metric is a vital tool for measuring how effectively your marketing campaigns generate revenue. The attribution window represents the timeframe during which a customer's action can be linked to a specific marketing touchpoint.

Attribution Window Customization:

  • Default: Our system uses a 5-day attribution window for email campaigns.

  2. Access your email settings.

  1. Adjust the attribution window as per your preferences.

Why 5 Days

Research suggests subscribers forget emails after 5 days, aligning with industry insights and ensuring a more accurate reflection of campaign impact.

Understanding Email Attribution:

Let's explore how email attribution works through an illustrative example, using the default 5-day attribution window.

  • Day 1: Send an email to your subscriber.

  • Day 3: Subscriber opens the email with a product offering.

  • Day 4: Subscriber revisits and makes a purchase.

In this scenario, revenue is attributed to the email campaign because the purchase occurred within the 5-day attribution window. However, it's crucial to note that if the customer were to make the purchase on day 10, it would not be attributed to the original email.

Attribution Style: Customizing Your Analysis

  • All Campaigns (Default): Attributions default to all campaigns for a comprehensive overview.

  • Product Element Specific: Choose to attribute conversions exclusively to product-centric campaigns.

How to Customize Attribution Style:

  • Navigate to "Email marketing".

  • Access settings.

  • Easily toggle between "All Campaigns" and "Product Element Specific" based on your preferences.
