Campaign Preview & Analytics

Previewing an action​

Before starting an action, preview it:

  1. Go to Campaigns in the sidebar and open the campaign.
  2. On the action's row, open its menu (⋮) and choose Preview.
  3. thanks.io renders how the next card will print, using the first recipient on the campaign's list.
  4. Check: design, message, replacement variables, QR code placement, and address block.
  5. If anything looks wrong, click the action's row (or Edit in its menu) to reopen the wizard. Change the creative on the What step, or edit the creative itself in Creatives; edits to a creative apply to the action's next mailing.

The wizard's Review step also shows the front and the message text before you start or save an action.

Campaign stats and projected sends​

Each campaign's page shows:

  • Recipients - how many people are on the campaign's mailing list.
  • Running - how many of its actions are running, out of the total.
  • Next mailing - the earliest date a running action will mail.
  • Next 12 months - about how many pieces its running actions will mail in the next year.
  • Projected sends, next 12 months - a month-by-month chart stacked by action, with a table view. Paused actions, and gift card actions that can't send on a free plan, aren't counted.

Each action row shows its front, mail piece, the creative it mails (What), its trigger (When), and whether it's Running or Paused.

Orders and QR scans​

  • Orders: from a campaign's page, open the More menu (⋮) and choose View orders to see the orders its actions have placed. In Orders you can also filter by Campaign.
  • QR scans: go to Analytics in the sidebar (under Reports). The Analytics page shows your account scan rate, Top scan rates with tabs for Creatives, Image templates, Message templates, Mailing lists and Campaigns, and Recent scans, a feed of the latest QR scans. View all QR scans opens the full scan history.
