Act-On Analytics Standard

  • Updated

Standard Analytics is the Analytics experience that's included with every Act-On account. You get the natural language Question bar and two pre-built Liveboards: Email Performance, and Forms, Landing Pages, Media. These replace the previous Reports > Email Messages, Landing Pages, and Forms & Media reports.

Why this matters: Standard Analytics is what you have by default, so it's worth knowing what it covers. You can ask natural language questions about your email, form, landing page, and media data and get charts back, without configuring anything up front. The Dynamic Business Analytics and Premium AI Analytics packages add much more on top (custom Answers, Liveboards, Spot IQ, AI Highlights), but the Standard experience gets you useful reporting from day one.
