Analyze sequence enrollment and performance data

Once you start enrolling contacts in your sequences, you can view a summary of all sequences and monitor each sequence's performance.

Analyzing their performance will tell you which sequences elicit more replies and prompt more meetings booked, and which sequences may need to be customized further.

To further analyze the quality and effectiveness of your sequences, learn how to understand your sequence sender score.

View performance data for a specific sequence

To monitor the performance of your individual sequences:

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Automation > Sequences.
• On the Manage tab, you can compare how your sequences are performing by reviewing the data in the Reply Rate and Meeting Rate columns.

• To view open and click data for an individual sequence, click the sequence name.

• On the Performance tab, use the dropdown menus to filter sequence data by specific associated companies, users who enrolled contacts, or enrollment dates.

Please note: in the Enrolled by dropdown menu, (Me) will be selected by default.

• • The first report shows an overview of the sequence's open rate, click rate, and reply rate totals. This applies to automated emails and emails sent as a part of a task in the sequence. You can analyze the following metrics:
    • Total enrollments: the total number of unique contacts currently enrolled in the sequence. If a contact is scheduled to enroll but hasn't started the sequence yet, they won't be counted.
    • Open rate: the percentage of contacts who opened any of the sequence's email at least once. 
    • Reply rate: the percentage of contacts who replied at least once while enrolled in sequence. This includes any emails received from a contact causing automatic unenrollment. This can include emails that were not part of the sequence.
    • Meeting rate: the percentage of contacts who booked a meeting while enrolled in the sequence. This includes any meetings scheduled causing automatic unenrollment. This can include one-off meetings scheduled in HubSpot.
    • No response: the percentage of contacts whose enrollment in the sequence ended with no response.
    • Bounce rate: the percentage of contacts whose email addresses bounced while enrolled in the sequence. 

• • The Email performance report shows the number of sends, as well as data for opens, clicks, replies, and meetings for each template used in a sequence. By default, it shows percentages. To switch to the total count of each, click Counts in the top right of the report.
    
    

• • The Enrollment by step report shows the number of contacts in each step, separated by their status. Click a bar to view more information about the contacts.
    
    

• To view more information about the sequence's enrollments, click the Enrollments tab.
  • On the left, click a status to view contacts based on their enrollment status.

• • To pause, resume, or end a contact's enrollments:
    • Select the checkboxes next to the contact names.
    • At the top of the table, select Pause, Resume, or Unenroll.
      
      

Analyze sequence engagement and top enrollments

On the Analyze tab, you can review at a high-level how contacts are engaging with your sequences and review which contacts are the most engaged.

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Automation > Sequences.
• Navigate to the Analyze tab.

  • Total enrollments: the total number of unique contacts enrolled in sequences. Some contacts may be enrolled in multiple sequences.
  • Open rate: the percentage of contacts who opened any sequence email at least once. 
  • Reply rate: the percentage of contacts who replied at least once to any email sent from a sequence. 
  • Meeting rate: the percentage of contacts who booked a meeting while enrolled.
  • No response: the percentage of contacts whose enrollment ended with no response.
