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.

Email Unsubscribes is the count of recipients who opt out of your email list over a defined time period. It measures list health, content relevance, and the effectiveness of your email communications.

Emails Bounced is the count of emails that were not successfully delivered to recipients' inboxes, recorded as Non-Delivery Receipts from email servers. Bounces are categorized as hard (permanent failure), soft (temporary failure), or pending (awaiting retry).

Emails Clicked is the total number of unique recipients who clicked on any link in an email campaign. It measures audience engagement beyond opens and signals how well your content and calls-to-action are landing.

Emails Delivered is the total number of emails successfully delivered to recipients' inboxes, excluding bounces and unsubscribed contacts. It is the starting point for calculating delivery rate and evaluating list health.

Emails Opened is the count of unique recipients who opened a specific email campaign. Because every downstream action — clicks, replies, conversions — depends on the email being opened first, this metric sets the ceiling for campaign performance.

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.
