Email Hard Bounces is the total count of emails permanently rejected by a recipient's mail server due to irreversible causes such as invalid addresses, closed accounts, or inactive domains.

Email Opens counts the total number of times an email is opened by all recipients, including multiple opens by the same person.

Email Reply Rate measures the percentage of sent emails that generate a reply. This metric is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns, customer engagement, or team communication efforts. Higher reply rates typically signify that the content of the email is resonating with the audience, prompting them to engage in the conversation. However, it's important to keep in mind that various factors can influence Email Reply Rate, including the quality of the email content, the subject line, and the relevance to the recipient.

Email Soft Bounce Rate is the percentage of sent emails that fail to reach the recipient due to a temporary technical issue, such as a full inbox or an unavailable mail server.

Email Soft Bounces counts the number of emails that failed to reach recipients due to temporary issues such as full inboxes, oversized attachments, or server downtime.

Email Unsubscribe Rate is the percentage of email recipients who opt out of a mailing list after receiving a campaign email, measured against total emails delivered. It signals how well your content, frequency, and targeting match subscriber expectations. A rising rate can damage sender reputation and reduce inbox placement over time.

The number of sessions where the user was meaningfully active. A session counts as engaged if it lasted longer than 10 seconds, included a conversion event, or had at least 2 page or screen views. This metric represents GA4's approach to measuring quality engagement rather than simply counting all sessions regardless of user behaviour. By filtering out sessions that show minimal interaction, Engaged Sessions provides a clearer picture of sessions where users demonstrated genuine interest in your content or offerings, making it a more reliable indicator of successful user experiences than total session counts.

This metric is the average count of engaged sessions per active user. It's calculated by taking the total number of engaged sessions and dividing it by the total number of active users for a given period. Engaged Sessions Per User reveals the depth of user engagement with your website or app by measuring how many quality sessions each active user generates on average. A higher ratio indicates that users are returning for multiple engaged visits, suggesting strong content value, user experience, or brand loyalty. This metric helps distinguish between sites that attract many one-time visitors versus those that build lasting relationships with their audience.

Engagement Rate is a key metric used in web and app analytics to measure user interaction and the quality of user sessions. It is a modern alternative to the traditional Bounce Rate metric, particularly in Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Engagement Rate is calculated as the percentage of engaged sessions out of the total number of sessions. An "engaged session" is defined as a session that lasts longer than 10 seconds, has a conversion event, or has two or more page views or screen views. This metric provides a more nuanced view of user behaviour than Bounce Rate, helping businesses to understand how effectively their content or platform holds a user's attention and drives meaningful interaction.

Form Installs is the total count of forms deployed on your website. Tracking this number gives you a high-level view of the possible form-based interactions with your customers.

Form Interactions is the count of distinct actions users take on a web form, including clicks, field entries, and abandonment events. Tracking this metric reveals where users hesitate or drop off, and helps you identify friction that prevents form completions.

Form Visibles is the count of the number of times hidden forms or form fields are made visible by the click of a button or another trigger action performed by the user. Often, forms can be hidden until the user reveals them. This can be used to measure the extent of the user’s interest in the website and to target certain user segments.
