Viewing and Understanding Post Insights 📣
📌 You'll need to have Admin or Group Owner permissions to see a post's insights. If you're not sure about your permissions, just reach out to your platform admins or our team at support@haystackteam.com for a hand.
Post insights provide you with detailed analytics about each post created within your workspace. They also allow you to resend email notifications to users who've not yet seen the post.
How to View Post Insights
Ready to see the stats? Just follow these two quick steps:
-
Navigate to the post you want to check the analytics for.
-
Click the three-dot button in the top right corner and select Insights from the dropdown menu.

This will open a pop-up window with all the good stuff (see below for good stuff).

Understanding What You See
Inside the insights window, you'll find different tabs with helpful metrics.
The Overview Tab
This tab gives you the big picture of your post's performance.
-
Targeted Viewers: The percentage of the audience who has viewed the post via web, mobile, or email. The target audience here is the group of people the post was shared with.
-

The Read Status Tab
This is a great tool for following up! Here, you'll find a handy list of who has and hasn't seen the post yet. You can see all the audience members who have read the post or for whom the post remains unopened. You can also use the dropdown to filter the audience and then use the tick boxes to select people and click "Send Email" to resend the notification!
