Triggered messages reports in Optimizely
In the Reports section in the Recommendations Portal, a Triggers dashboard shows the revenue, orders, clicks, and click-through-rate for your Triggered Messages campaigns.
Also, there is a daily report that shows how many website sessions fired a trigger, how many triggered emails were viewed, and how many products were purchased through a Optimizely-generated link from those emails. This is reported for each trigger and broken down to daily reporting.
