Understanding Playable Reports

Playable Reports help you understand how recipients interact with your videos and how your video content performs across different email clients, devices, locations, and other viewing conditions.

Reports:

Playable Reports give you an overview of how recipients interact with your video content. Use Reports to see where your video is viewed, which email clients and devices your audience uses, when people watch, and how often they click.

Accessing Reports:

To view your Reports, open your Playable account and select Reports from the top navigation.

Reports show data aggregated across all videos belonging to the account.

Note: Reports include all opens and clicks, including when a recipient opens multiple times or on multiple devices. Reported opens should not be interpreted as unique recipients.


Opens, Clicks, and CTOR:

The main report table shows three metrics:

Opens
The number of times your video content was opened or viewed.

Clicks
The number of times recipients clicked on the video or its associated link.

CTOR
Click-to-open rate (CTOR) shows the percentage of opens that resulted in a click.

For example, if your video has 1,000 opens and 50 clicks, the CTOR is 5%.

Reports and billable plays are different. Reports can include multiple opens from the same recipient or opens from multiple devices. A billable play is counted only on the recipient's first open, so your reported Opens and billable plays may not be the same.

Exploring your data:

Most Reports can be viewed as both a table and a visual chart. You can sort the table by the available metrics and use the filter field to narrow down the results.

For example, the Email Client report can show you how Opens, Clicks, and CTOR vary between Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and other email clients.

Using different report categories together can help you get a clearer picture of your audience and how they interact with your video.


Tip: When reviewing your results, remember that email clients, devices, networks, and other viewing conditions can affect how video content is delivered and displayed. Differences between segments don't necessarily indicate a difference in the underlying video itself
