# Messaging and Campaign Reports

> Message volume by channel, campaign response rates, and opt-out tracking.

These dashboards in [Legacy Reporting](/getting-started/reporting/legacy-reporting) cover the activity your campaigns generate: how many messages moved in each direction, how many contacts replied, and how many opted out.

## Messaging

This dashboard displays metrics for every communication type — SMS, emails, voice calls, and voicemails. Totals are divided into **inbound** (a person → Hatch) and **outbound** (Hatch → a person).

* **Total Calls — Outbound**: calls sent to a contact by campaign automation
* **Total Calls — Inbound**: calls received by Hatch as a result of the campaign
* **Total Emails — Outbound**: emails sent to a contact by campaign automation
* **Total Emails — Inbound**: emails received by Hatch as a result of the campaign
* **Total Texts — Outbound**: SMS messages sent to a contact by campaign automation
* **Total Texts — Inbound**: SMS messages received by Hatch as a result of the campaign
* **Total Voicemails — Outbound**: voicemail drops sent to a contact by campaign automation
* **Total Voicemails — Inbound**: voicemails received by Hatch as a result of the campaign

**Common questions answered by messaging reports:**

* How much inbound activity does Hatch generate?
* What communication methods do our customers prefer?

## Campaigns

Use this dashboard to analyze the performance of specific campaigns — how many contacts entered and completed a campaign, and what proportion responded.

* **Contacts Launched**: the count of unique contacts launched into the campaign.
* **Contacts Responded**: the count of unique contacts that responded to a message from the campaign. A contact counts if they were launched into that campaign *and* responded while in it.
* **Response Rate**: the percentage of launched contacts that also responded.
  * `(Contacts Responded / Contacts Launched) * 100`

**Common questions answered by campaign reports:**

* How many contacts are in each stage of campaign communication?
* Which campaigns generate the most responses, or the best response rate?
* Can we learn from the language being used in these high-performing campaigns?

## Opt-Outs

This dashboard shows the count and proportion of contacts opting out in response to campaign communication.

* **Opt-Out Rate**: the percentage of contacts responding to an outbound message with a mandatory opt-out word (End, unsubscribe, stop).
  * `(Inbound Opt-Outs / Outbound Messages) * 100`
* **Carrier Limit**: carriers set requirements for businesses sending promotional language. If your opt-out percentage exceeds a given threshold of overall messages, you risk being labelled as spam or blocked from further messaging.

**Common questions answered by opt-out reports:**

* Which of our campaigns are more prone to opt-out responses?
* What are the targeting criteria or verbiage for each of these campaign types?

<Warning>
  Opt-out rate is the metric most likely to cost you deliverability. Watch it per campaign rather than only in aggregate — a single aggressive campaign can drag an otherwise healthy account toward the carrier limit.
</Warning>
