New metrics in 'Campaign Logs' data extension
Contact Builder - Stats Data Extensions
Currently, it is possible to check the status of the pushes sent (push sent/not sent statistics) in the form of a data extension named 'Targeted users - FollowAnalytics'.
With this new release, you’ll be able to view more campaign statistics (push opened and in-app displayed) in 'Campaign Logs' data extension by following the steps below:
- In SFMC, go to 'Audience Builder' > 'Contact Builder' and select 'Data Extensions' tab,
- Search by 'Campaign Logs' data extension and display it
- Select 'Records' tab,
- Search by 'CampaignID', for example. Other possible search criteria: 'UserID', 'DeviceID', 'Action'
The column 'Action' gives the metrics 'Push opened' and 'In-app displayed':
'Targeted users-FollowAnalytics' data extension improvements
Contact Builder - Stats Data Extensions
We have added two new columns 'CampaignID' and 'CampaignName' to data extension 'Targeted users - FollowAnalytics':
Journey Builder - Activity Tooltip - More Details
Campaign information section was updated accordingly.
Data Source of type Events and Errors
Starting with this release, while creating a new Data Extension, in 'Data Source' step, there is a new type, 'Errors' and not only 'Events' (type 'Events' has been split into two types: 'Events' and 'Errors' - the aim is to differentiate them in case there are an event and error with the same name):
Other improvements
- Refactoring of synchronization for data extensions of type 'Custom' (to improve DE sync performance).
Issue fixes
- Fixing an issue when the type 'Segments' was missing in 'Data Source' during a Data Extension creation (for superadmins),
- Remove unallowed characters and add a suffix for invalid segments name when creating a Data extension of type segments. This is applied when for example there are similar segment names, one of them having an invalid character. The fix will remove the invalid character and add a suffix in order to differentiate the two segments between them.
