Understanding the Issue
The Campaign Performance Insights view is a critical component of Salesforce Marketing Cloud, providing marketers with a centralized location to track key performance indicators (KPIs) for their campaigns. When metrics like bounce and unsubscribe rates are missing, it can be challenging to get a complete picture of campaign performance.
Upon investigating this issue, we found that the problem often lies in the configuration of the report. Specifically, the metrics that are included in the report may not be set up to display the desired data.
The root cause of this issue is often related to the report configuration, where the necessary metrics are not included or are not properly set up to display the desired data.
Troubleshooting and Resolution
To resolve this issue, marketers can follow these steps to check the configuration of the Campaign Performance report and ensure that the necessary metrics are included.
First, navigate to the Campaign Performance Insights view and click on the gear icon to access the report settings. From there, select the metrics that you want to include in the report, such as bounce and unsubscribe rates.
Next, verify that the metrics are properly set up to display the desired data. This may involve checking the data sources and ensuring that the data is being pulled correctly.
