Message goals

Adding a Goal to your message makes it easy to see how successful your message is at driving specific user behavior and ROI. Goals are an optional feature that creates a separate Goal metric in your message's Analytics.

While the default message metrics such as open rate are good for optimizing the top of the funnel, Message Goals can give more insight into how your users are behaving later on in the funnel.

Adding a Message Goal

When setting up your message, the Goal setting is located at the bottom of the message composer.

When adding a goal, think about the specific user behavior you want to drive. You can choose User starts app or any of your custom events or states as your goal.

For example, if you want to drive users to complete a purchase, you could create a shopping cart abandonment push notification with a goal of User triggers event > Purchase. Or, if you want to drive users back to your app, you could create a seven-day re-engagement email with a goal of User starts app.

You can add as many Message Goals as you like, but we recommend limiting goals to the one or two explicit user actions you are trying to drive.

Analyzing results of Message Goals

The best way to track the success of your messages is with unique user metrics. Leanplum, automatically creates a corresponding unique user metric — visible in the results in Analytics — for each goal you add to the message.

Goal Metrics appear at the top of Message Results:
