Your Insights tab displays Insight Widgets containing aggregated data for each group.
Within each widget, you can view the filtered list to apply bulk actions to each particular group.
Contacts
A contact is a person whose information you’ve saved to your People tab. They can be added to your list by manual import, form, assessment, or Offer purchase.
- Total Contacts is the overall number of people who have ever been added to your contacts.
- New Contacts is the number of people that have been added in the past 30 days.
Subscribed
Subscribed Contacts are subscribed to marketing emails.
- Total Subscribers: the number of contacts and members that are currently subscribed to email marketing.
- New Subscribers: the number of contacts and members that subscribed to your email marketing in the last 30 days.
Members
A member is a contact that has purchased or been granted an Offer.
- Total Members is the overall number of contacts that have ever purchased or been granted an Offer.
- New Members is the number of contacts that purchased an Offer in the past 30 days.
- Member Activity is the number of contacts that have logged in to their account in the past 30 days.
Unsubscribed
Contacts or Members that are unsubscribed from marketing emails.
Total Unsubscribed is the total count of unsubscribed contacts in your list. There are multiple ways a contact becomes unsubscribed:
- Manually Unsubscribed: the sender/admin or contact unsubscribed manually in contact’s preferences.
- Opted Out: the contact clicked unsubscribe in the footer of the email they received.
- Bounced: the contact’s email was not deliverable. The system unsubscribes them to protect your email reputation.
- Marked Spam: the contact marked the email as spam in their inbox.
- Never Subscribed: the contact has never subscribed to email marketing. This could’ve been during an import the contact was not marked as subscribed or during a purchase, the customer did not opt-in to receive marketing emails.
Subscriber Engagement
Engaged subscribers are key to successful email marketing. We measure engagement by when subscribers last interacted with your emails. Each subscriber is grouped into one of the following tiers:
- Healthy: Interacted in 0-90 days
- Passive: Interacted in 91-180 days
- Unengaged: Idle for 181-270 days
- Inactive: Idle for 270+ days
Segmenting based on engagement is a good strategy to adopt. To maintain a healthier list, consider removing any inactive subscribers from your Contacts.

At the bottom of the Subscriber Engagement card is a toggle to give you the option to include an email open event as part of engagement. It is good to keep in mind that there is growing skepticism around using open events due to new changes to mail privacy across different mail clients.
