How to Compare Milestone Delays Using Custom Metrics

Updated 

Compare milestone delays using custom metrics to identify friction in the brand’s workflows and improve the brand’s operations.

Use date custom fields as custom metrics in Reporting to identify friction in the brand’s workflows and improve the brand’s operations from the insights gathered through reporting. The date custom fields of the following entities can be used to report and collect data:

  • Campaign

  • Sub-Campaign

  • Outbound Message

  • Requests

  • Media Assets

The type of metric will be Time Difference, and you can filter it by Workflow Name. The new Standard Metrics to be available in reporting will be:

Campaign Duration

  • Description: The amount of time it takes for a campaign to complete. It is calculated by taking the difference between the campaign start date and the campaign end date.

    • The formula for metric calculation: Campaign End Date - Campaign Start Date

  • Condition: The end date exists for the campaign

    • Value = [Campaign End Date - Campaign Start Date]

  • Condition: The end date does not exist for the campaign

    • Value = [Evergreen]

Message Duration

  • Description: The amount of time it takes for a message to get published. It is calculated by taking the difference between message published time (or schedule time) and message created time.

  • Condition: Message is not published

    • Formula = Message Schedule Time - Message Created Time

  • Condition: Message is published

    • Formula = Message Publish Time - Message Created Time

Message Duration (including request intake duration)

  • Description: The amount of time it takes for a message to get published from when a request was raised for the same. It is calculated by taking the difference between message published time (or schedule time) and request created time.

  • Condition: Message is not published

    • Formula = Message Schedule Time - Request Created Time

  • Condition: Message is published

    • Formula = Message Publish Time - Request Created Time

Workflow Start Time (Metric)

"Workflow Start Time" already exists as a dimension in reporting. This will be exposed as a metric in reporting. You can use "Workflow Start Time (Metric)" in custom metrics and take the difference between "Workflow Start Time (Metric)" and date custom fields in Custom metrics.
