How to Set Up Email to Salesforce – a 5-minute job

Good news: Email to Salesforce is available in all editions, across both the Lightning and Classic interfaces!

The Most Important Thing: Discipline

For this to work, your team needs to be disciplined. Users need to get into the habit of adding the BCC email when replying, or your campaign reply reports will be skewed. I have not seen adoption be a problem, due to its simplicity, I guess.

Summary

Of course, it’s not the most sophisticated solution – but it’s something!

Introduction

A lot goes into a successful email campaign. In the previous units, you segmented your database into lists, created email templates, tested emails thoroughly, and then sent them to your recipients. Now it’s time to review your hard work.

List Email Report

When you navigate to your List Email report, you’ll notice that it breaks down the most important data about your sent emails. It has three other tabs that offer additional reports: Click-Through Rate Report, Interaction, and Email Clients.

Report Tab

The Report tab shows basic information and metrics about the email send. The Open Rate pie chart gives you a visual breakdown of the percentage of opened, bounced, and unopened emails for the list email send. Below the Open Rate pie chart, the clicks report breaks down the links in the email and how many prospects clicked each link.

Click-Through Rate Report Tab

The Click-Through Rate report displays link performance visually. A rendering of your email is overlaid with the click-through rate next to each link. The call-out colors get warmer (blue is coolest, red is warmest) as the click-through rate gets higher relative to other links in the email.

Interaction Tab

You can add even more reports to your Pardot account by purchasing the Advanced Email Analytics Package. The package includes the Engagement and Activity report, which displays in the Interaction tab and shows how your recipients engage with your email. The data aggregates all engagement and activity (opening an email, clicking a link) together.

Email Clients Tab

The Email Clients report captures and tracks email client usage for emails opened across your lists in Pardot. Find this report under the Email Clients tab. The email client list includes more than 120 email clients; any client not in the list is marked as “Other” in the report.

Email marketing is a huge part of a successful marketing automation strategy. Now you’re ready to put it to work!
