The Broadcast reporting dashboard bundles all of your Broadcast's stats in one place.
You can access it for any Broadcast you've already sent and/or published to the web by going to the Broadcasts page and clicking the Broadcast's title. (Clicking the View button next to the Broadcast on the Broadcasts page also works!).
From the Broadcast's reports, you can review its content, who it was sent to, who opened it, and who clicked your links.
With this information at your fingertips, you'll be able to tell how your Broadcasts are performing.
Here are the main features of the Broadcast reports:
Overview
The Overview page lets you review your Broadcast's content and key stats. You'll see different metrics based on whether you've sent this Broadcast as an email, published it to the web, or both.
For a Broadcast you've sent as an email, you'll see these email metrics (which will appear in gold):
The number of recipients
Open rate
Click rate
The number of unsubscribes
Bounce rate
The net ad revenue earned (after our 23.5% commission)
NOTE: Email metrics won't be available if you've set up an A/B test and the test is still running. That's because your Broadcast hasn't been sent to all your recipients yet.
For a Broadcast you've published to the web, you'll see these web metrics (which will appear in blue):
The number of post visits
The conversion rate (i.e., the percentage of users who subscribed to your email list via that post)
Analytics
The Analytics page will give you a deeper dive into your Broadcast's metrics.
If you had run an A/B test, you'll see the A/B test results at the top.
Next, you'll see an overview of these email metrics:
The total number of emails sent
The number and percentage of unsubscribes, complaints, and bounces
There's also an engagement funnel showing how your subscribers interact with your Broadcast.
NOTE: Email metrics won't be available if you've set up an A/B test and the test is still running. That's because your Broadcast hasn't been sent to all your recipients yet.
After that, you'll see an overview of these web metrics if you had published your Broadcast to the web:
The total number of visits
The conversion rate (i.e., the percentage of users who subscribed to your email list via this post)
There's also a chart showing the number of visits your Broadcast post has gotten over time.
Recipients
The Recipients page will give you a list of subscribers this Broadcast was sent to. You'll also be able to filter your subscribers by All, Opened, Clicked, and Unsubscribed.
From this page, you can use bulk actions to add (or remove) a Tag or Sequence from these subscribers, or export or delete them.
Clicks
On the Clicks page, you’ll find a list of links included in your Broadcast. For each link, you'll be able to see:
How many subscribers clicked the link
The click to delivery rate: i.e., the percentage of subscribers who clicked your link out of all the subscribers who received your email. It is calculated using this formula: the number of subscribers who clicked the link / the number of subscribers who received your email x 100%
The click to open rate: i.e., the percentage of subscribers who clicked your link out of all subscribers who opened your email. It is calculated using this formula: the number of subscribers who clicked the link / the number of subscribers who opened your email x 100%
If you're a Creator Pro plan user, you'll see an Edit option to the right of the link. Click it to change the link—even after your Broadcast has been sent. This is useful for fixing broken links.
If you click the link itself, you'll be directed to a new page where you can see which subscribers clicked the link.
You’ll also be able to use bulk actions to add (or remove) a Tag or Sequence from these subscribers, or export or delete them.
Tagging based on link clicks is a great way to segment your subscribers!

Click the pencil icon for the Published date setting on your Broadcast report's Overview page to change your Broadcast's publish date. This is helpful in situations like migrating your newsletter archive from a different email platform to Kit.
Internal note
The internal note setting on your Broadcast report's Overview page lets you add an internal note to your Broadcast, or edit an existing one.
SEO settings
If you've published your Broadcast to the web, it's important to also update your Broadcast's SEO settings to help new audiences find it more easily. You'll find these settings in your Broadcast report's Overview page.
Using the SEO settings, you can:
Add a thumbnail to the Broadcast for your newsletter feed
Add alt text to help people using screen readers understand your image

Update your Broadcast's meta description, which will be visible on the search engine results for your Broadcast, and its social shares
Click Save to save your changes.
Visibility settings
These settings control the Broadcast's visibility if you've published it to the web. You'll find them in your Broadcast report's Overview page.
If your Broadcast isn't published to the web, these settings will have no effect even if you adjust them.
Click the pencil icon in the Visibility settings section to access these settings:
Only display for paying subscribers: If you enable this option, users will need to be a paid subscriber of your newsletter product to read the Broadcast. Learn more about setting this up in our guide to paid posts.
Set as Featured on Creator Profile: Set this Broadcast as your Creator Profile's featured post.
Use the toggles to enable or disable the relevant setting.
And that's it! Our Broadcast reporting provides what you, as a creator, need to know to grow your audience and business.
NOTE: While there is no time limit on how long we'll track email data, we no longer
update email data for emails sent before Aug 1, 2023.
