Platform basics
Reports and analytics
Interpret platform reports without confusing delivery, processing, and business outcomes.
Reports is a platform-wide surface. Several modules also expose their own analytics, including CRM, workflows, voice, sites, webinars, social media, SEO, and reputation.
Read a report correctly
- Confirm the active workspace and module scope.
- Check the date range, timezone, filters, and comparison period.
- Determine whether the metric represents an attempted action, accepted action, provider delivery, customer interaction, or business outcome.
- Open the underlying record or execution when a total looks unexpected.
- Allow for processing delays before comparing a real-time provider view with an aggregated report.
Common interpretation mistakes
- Treating “sent” as “delivered,” “delivered” as “read,” or a clicked review link as a completed review.
- Comparing reports with different timezones or date boundaries.
- Counting retries as new business outcomes.
- Assuming a provider’s total and Spacebrain’s recent synchronized window represent the same retention period.
- Ignoring filters for channel, owner, campaign, workflow, or workspace.
Build an operating review
For each important workflow, choose a small set of measures:
- Volume entering the workflow.
- Completion or success rate.
- Failure and retry count.
- Time to response or completion.
- Human handoff or follow-up backlog.
- Cost or usage where relevant.
- A business outcome from the system of record.
Use module reports for diagnosis and a platform report for cross-module context. Export data only when your role and data-handling policy allow it.
