View the performance of a single HubSpot campaign to measure its impact on contacts, deals, and traffic to your website. You can also analyze the overall effectiveness of your campaigns in your analytics tools.
Analyze the effectiveness of your campaign with campaign attribution reports. Learn more about using campaign attribution reports.
Please note: HubSpot will only attribute asset data to a campaign after association. Campaign analytics, such as the Overview report, will not include any metrics prior to the association. However, these metrics can still display in the individual asset's data within the Performance tab.

Influenced contacts |
This metric measures the number of contacts that have engaged with assets related to a campaign. Generally, this will include both new and existing contacts. When filtering influenced contacts by date range, do note that only net new contacts that were influenced in that date range will be included. For example, if you filter for This week, you will not see contacts that were influenced prior to this week, even if they were also influenced this week. A contact is influenced by a campaign when any of the following conditions are met:

Influenced revenue |
This metric measures the total revenue of closed won deals that are associated with influenced contacts. The total is from the sum of the Amount property of closed won deals. Only influenced deals will contribute to this total. |
