24.1 Overview

Email Reports allow AIUNIFY Analytics to send recurring summaries of Website performance without requiring you to sign in and manually review the Dashboard each time.

AIUNIFY describes the feature as:

“Get email briefs of your overall website stats frequently.”

The Website setting explains:

“Receive simple and easy to understand analytics for your site via email.”

The basic workflow is:

Enable Email Reports → AIUNIFY Collects Website Analytics → Reporting Period Completes → Analytics Summary Sent → Compare Current Period with Previous Period → Open Dashboard for Further Analysis

24.2 Email Reports Are a Website-Level Setting

Email Reports are enabled independently for each Website.

This means you can have:

Website A → Email Reports enabled

and:

Website B → Email Reports disabled

within the same AIUNIFY Analytics account.

The setting is stored with each Website's configuration.

24.3 Email Report Availability

Email Reports must be:

  1. Enabled for the AIUNIFY Analytics platform.
  2. Available under your account.
  3. Enabled for the individual Website.

The Website configuration only displays the Email Reports control when the Analytics Email Reports feature itself is available.

The control is disabled when the feature is not available to the account.

Availability: Email Reports may depend on the features enabled for your AIUNIFY Analytics account.

24.4 Weekly or Monthly Email Reports

The current AIUNIFY Analytics source supports two report-cadence labels:

  1. Weekly email reports
  2. Monthly email reports


The cadence is configured at the Analytics-platform level.

This means the individual Website user does not select Weekly versus Monthly from the Website form.

Instead, the Website control displays whichever cadence AIUNIFY Analytics is currently configured to provide.

24.5 Example

If AIUNIFY Analytics is configured for Weekly reports, the Website setting appears as:

Weekly email reports

If configured for Monthly reports, it appears as:

Monthly email reports

The form dynamically uses the currently configured Email Report frequency when displaying the label.

24.6 There Is No User-Selectable Frequency Field

The current Website settings do not contain a separate field such as:

Frequency → Weekly / Monthly

The user-facing control is simply an On/Off switch for the Email Report cadence currently provided by AIUNIFY Analytics.

Therefore:

Cadence = System configuration

Website setting = Subscribe or unsubscribe

24.7 Email Reports Work with Both Tracking Types

The Email Reports option is not restricted to Advanced Tracking.

The Website form displays it independently of the Advanced-only:

  1. Visitor Events
  2. Session Replays

controls.

Therefore, Email Reports can support:

  1. Advanced Tracking Websites
  2. Lightweight Tracking Websites

The report contents differ slightly between the two.

24.8 Enabling Email Reports

To enable Email Reports:

  1. Sign in to AIUNIFY Analytics.
  2. Open Websites.
  3. Locate the Website.
  4. Select Edit.
  5. Locate:
  6. Weekly email reports
  7. or:
  8. Monthly email reports
  9. Turn the switch on.
  10. Click Update.

The Help text beneath the setting states:

“Receive simple and easy to understand analytics for your site via email.”

24.9 Enabling Email Reports During Website Creation

Email Reports can also be enabled while creating a Website when the feature is available.

The Website creation form contains the same Email Reports switch and applies account-level availability rules.

Therefore, you do not have to wait until after Website creation to activate reports.

24.10 Email Reports Do Not Change Tracking

Enabling Email Reports does not change:

  1. Tracking Type
  2. Pageview collection
  3. Visitor identification
  4. Goals
  5. Heatmaps
  6. Replays
  7. Outbound Clicks

It changes how summary Analytics information is delivered.

Think of it as:

Analytics Collection → Summary Delivery

rather than a new form of visitor tracking.

24.11 What an Email Report Contains

The confirmed Email Report template contains summary sections for:

  1. Pageviews
  2. Sessions — Advanced Tracking only
  3. Visitors

The report is intentionally a short Analytics overview rather than a complete Dashboard export.

24.12 Pageviews

Every Email Report contains:

Pageviews

The report displays Pageview totals for:

  1. Previous reporting period
  2. Current reporting period

and calculates the percentage change between them.

24.13 Example — Pageviews

A report might conceptually show:

Previous Period

8,000 Pageviews

Current Period

10,000 Pageviews

Change

+25%

This quickly tells you whether Pageview volume increased or decreased.

24.14 Percentage Change

AIUNIFY calculates the percentage difference between:

Previous Period

and:

Current Period

for the report's main metrics.

Positive changes are visually distinguished from negative changes in the Email Report.

24.15 Sessions

For Websites using:

Advanced Tracking

the Email Report also includes:

Sessions.

The Sessions section contains:

  1. Previous-period Sessions
  2. Current-period Sessions
  3. Percentage change

24.16 Sessions Are Not Included for Lightweight Tracking

The report template only renders the Sessions section when the Website's Tracking Type is Advanced.

Therefore:

Advanced Email Report

Includes:

  1. Pageviews
  2. Sessions
  3. Visitors

Lightweight Email Report

Does not include the Advanced Sessions section.

24.17 Visitors

The Email Report also contains:

Visitors

and compares the current period with the preceding period.

Remember that the meaning of Visitor-related reporting depends on the selected Tracking Type, as explained earlier in this manual.

24.18 Report Structure

The Email Report essentially provides:

Metric

Previous Period

Current Period

Percentage Change

This format makes the report useful for quickly answering:

Did Website performance increase or decrease compared with the preceding reporting period?

24.19 Previous Period Comparison

AIUNIFY does not simply show the current reporting period.

It also calculates Analytics for the preceding comparison period.

For Pageviews, Sessions, and Visitors, both periods are rendered within the Email.

24.20 Example Weekly Comparison

If the current AIUNIFY configuration uses Weekly Email Reports, the summary conceptually compares:

Current Weekly Reporting Period

with:

Previous Weekly Reporting Period

so you can identify week-over-week movement.

The exact dates appear directly in the Email Report.

24.21 Example Monthly Comparison

If the system uses Monthly Email Reports, the same report design provides recurring period-over-period comparison using the configured reporting cadence.

Again, the exact Start and End Dates are included rather than requiring you to infer the reporting period.

24.22 The Email Subject Identifies the Reporting Period

AIUNIFY's report subject is structured as:

Summary analytics for “[Website Name]” between [Start Date] and [End Date]


This makes it easy to identify:

  1. Which Website the Email concerns
  2. Which reporting period it summarizes

before opening the message.

24.23 Website Identification Inside the Email

The Email itself begins with a short Analytics overview identifying the tracked Website.

This is especially useful when your account manages multiple Websites.

24.24 Current and Previous Dates Are Displayed

For each comparison, the report prints the applicable reporting dates.

For example, the Pageviews section shows:

Previous Start → Current Start

and:

Current Start → Current Report Date

alongside their respective totals.

The same comparison design is used for Sessions and Visitors.

24.25 Positive Performance Change

If the percentage change is positive, the Email Report displays the positive percentage using the report's positive styling.

For example:

+18%

This indicates that the current period's metric is higher than the preceding period.

24.26 Negative Performance Change

If the current value is lower than the previous period, the Email Report displays a negative percentage using its negative styling.

For example:

-12%

This provides an immediate signal that the metric declined.

24.27 Zero Change

The Email template only renders a percentage indicator when the rounded change is not zero.

Therefore, a metric with effectively no rounded percentage change may appear without an increase/decrease percentage beside it.

24.28 The Report Is an Overview, Not the Full Dashboard

AIUNIFY describes the Email content as:

“Short analytics overview”

The confirmed template does not contain every Dashboard report.

For example, the Email template does not establish dedicated sections for:

  1. Countries
  2. Browsers
  3. Devices
  4. Referrers
  5. UTMs
  6. Goals
  7. Outbound Clicks
  8. Heatmaps
  9. Replays

Use the Dashboard for deeper analysis.

24.29 View Analytics Button

Each report includes:

View analytics


Selecting this link opens AIUNIFY Analytics for the Website associated with the Email Report.

This lets you move directly from:

Email Summary

to:

Full Analytics Dashboard

24.30 Recommended Email-to-Dashboard Workflow

When an Email Report shows an important change:

  1. Review the percentage.
  2. Click View analytics.
  3. Confirm the Website.
  4. Review the applicable Date Range.
  5. Open the Dashboard.
  6. Investigate traffic sources.
  7. Review Paths.
  8. Review Goals.
  9. Review Outbound Clicks.
  10. Use Heatmaps/Replays when available.

The Email Report tells you:

Something changed.

The Dashboard helps explain:

What contributed to the change.

24.31 Example — Pageviews Increase

Suppose the Email shows:

Pageviews +45%

Do not stop at the Email.

Open AIUNIFY and investigate:

  1. Referrers
  2. UTMs
  3. Landing Paths
  4. Countries
  5. Devices
  6. Campaigns
  7. Annotations

You may discover that a campaign, partnership, or social-media post generated the increase.

24.32 Example — Sessions Increase but Conversions Do Not

For an Advanced Website, suppose:

Sessions +30%

but Goals remain flat.

The Email identifies increased Website activity.

Use the Dashboard and Goals to determine whether that additional traffic is producing business outcomes.

24.33 Example — Visitors Decline

Suppose the report shows:

Visitors -20%

Open the Dashboard and compare:

  1. Referrers
  2. Campaigns
  3. Search traffic
  4. Social traffic
  5. Device Types
  6. Geographic markets

Also review Annotations for business events that may explain the decline.

24.34 Email Reports and Chart Annotations

Annotations can make recurring Email Reports more useful.

For example:

Email Report:

Pageviews +50%

Dashboard Annotation:

National Campaign Launched

This gives you both:

Performance change

and:

Business context

24.35 Email Reports and Goals

Email Reports do not replace Goal reporting.

A Website could have:

Pageviews +50%

while:

Goal Conversions -10%

Therefore, after reviewing Email performance metrics, open Goals when the business outcome matters.

24.36 Email Reports and Outbound Clicks

Likewise, increased Pageviews do not necessarily mean visitors are taking external actions.

If external CTAs matter, compare the Email Report with:

Outbound clicks

to determine whether external engagement also changed.

24.37 Email Reports and Heatmaps

An Email Report may indicate performance movement but cannot explain page-level interaction.

If Pageviews rise but conversion behavior remains weak, an Advanced Tracking Website can use:

Heatmaps

to investigate:

  1. CTA engagement
  2. Scroll Reach
  3. Mobile vs. Desktop behavior

24.38 Email Reports and Replays

For Advanced Tracking, Session Replays can provide individual behavioral examples behind larger changes.

A useful sequence is:

Email Report identifies change

Dashboard confirms trend

Heatmap identifies pattern

Replay investigates individual Sessions

24.39 Disabling Email Reports

To stop receiving reports for a Website:

  1. Open Websites.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Find the Email Reports switch.
  4. Turn it off.
  5. Click Update.

The Email itself also states that Email Reports can be unsubscribed from the:

Website settings

page.

24.40 Disabling Reports Does Not Disable Analytics

Turning Email Reports off does not disable the Website's Tracking.

The Website has a separate:

Tracking

switch.

Therefore:

Email Reports Off → Analytics can continue

while:

Tracking Off → Website tracking itself stops

24.41 Email Reports Can Be Changed Later

Unlike Tracking Type, Email Reports are an editable Website setting.

You can:

Enable → Disable → Enable again

as your reporting needs change.

Updating the Website preserves its existing Email Report date information while changing the enabled state.

24.42 The System Stores an Email Report Date

Each Website record includes a field named:

email_reports_last_date

This field is created when the Website is created and remains part of its stored Website configuration.

It is also included in Website CSV/JSON exports.

There is no user-facing field for manually editing this value in Website settings.

24.43 Email Report Date Is Not a User Scheduling Control

Do not confuse the stored Email Report date with a user-selectable scheduling field.

The Website interface does not provide controls such as:

  1. Send Day
  2. Send Time
  3. Next Report Date
  4. Report Frequency dropdown

The user controls only whether Email Reports are enabled for that Website.

24.44 No Separate Recipient Field in Website Settings

The current Website settings do not provide a separate field such as:

Send report to:

or:

Additional report recipients

The user-facing Email Report configuration is an On/Off switch.

Therefore, this manual should not instruct users to enter a custom report recipient from the Website settings because that field does not exist in the supplied source.

24.45 Email Reports and Website Import

When Websites are imported, the import workflow can include an:

email_reports_is_enabled

setting when the account supports Email Reports.

This allows imported Website records to carry the Email Report enabled/disabled state.

24.46 Email Reports and Website Export

Website CSV/JSON export includes:

  1. email_reports_is_enabled
  2. email_reports_last_date

along with other Website settings.

This can be useful when auditing which Websites have recurring Analytics reports enabled.

24.47 Website List Email Report Indicator

The Websites list also displays an Email Report status badge when the feature is available.

The badge is shown as enabled when:

  1. The account supports Email Reports
  2. The Website itself has Email Reports enabled

Otherwise, the interface displays the alternate status.

This gives you a quick way to review report status without editing each Website.

24.48 Recommended Multi-Website Review

If you manage many Websites:

  1. Open Websites.
  2. Review the Email Report indicators.
  3. Identify Websites that should send reports.
  4. Edit any incorrect settings.
  5. Export the Website list if a configuration audit is needed.

This helps maintain consistent recurring reporting across a larger Analytics account.

24.49 Troubleshooting — Email Report Option Is Missing

Check:

Feature Availability

The AIUNIFY Analytics Email Reports feature must be enabled.

Account Availability

Your account must include Email Reports.

The Website form does not display the feature unless platform Email Reports are enabled.

24.50 Troubleshooting — Email Reports Switch Is Disabled

If you can see the setting but cannot activate it, your account may not include Email Report functionality.

The Website form explicitly disables the control when the account does not have Email Reports available.

Review your account's available features.

24.51 Troubleshooting — Wrong Frequency Expected

The Website user does not choose Weekly versus Monthly.

If the interface displays:

Weekly email reports

then Weekly is the cadence currently configured by AIUNIFY Analytics.

If it displays:

Monthly email reports

then Monthly is the configured cadence.

There is no Website-level frequency selector in the current source.

24.52 Troubleshooting — Report Has No Sessions Section

Check the Website's Tracking Type.

The report only renders:

Sessions

when the Website uses:

Advanced Tracking.

For Lightweight Tracking, the omission of the Advanced Sessions section is expected.

24.53 Troubleshooting — Report Does Not Include Goals

This is expected.

The confirmed Email Report template summarizes:

  1. Pageviews
  2. Sessions when Advanced
  3. Visitors

The template does not include a dedicated Goals section.

Click View analytics and open Goals for conversion details.

24.54 Troubleshooting — Report Does Not Include Heatmaps or Replays

This is also expected.

Email Reports are designed as:

short Analytics summaries

rather than complete behavioral-analysis reports.

Use the full AIUNIFY interface for:

  1. Heatmaps
  2. Session Replays
  3. Visitor Journeys

24.55 Troubleshooting — No Report Received

Check:

  1. Correct Website.
  2. Email Reports enabled.
  3. Account supports Email Reports.
  4. Whether the interface specifies Weekly or Monthly reports.
  5. Whether enough time has passed for that configured reporting cadence.
  6. Whether the message was filtered into Spam/Junk.
  7. Whether normal account email delivery is functioning.

The supplied user-facing source confirms recurring Email Report capability and its template, but it does not expose a user-controlled Send Now action.

24.56 There Is No “Send Report Now” Button

The current Website interface does not provide a manual:

Send Email Report Now

control.

Email Reports are designed around the recurring Email Report process.

Therefore, if you need immediate Analytics information:

Open Dashboard

rather than waiting for the next Email Report.

24.57 Troubleshooting — Email Report Percentage Looks Unexpected

Remember that the report compares:

Current Reporting Period

against:

Previous Reporting Period

It is not necessarily comparing against:

  1. The same period last year
  2. Your business target
  3. A manually chosen Dashboard Date Range

Review the dates printed directly in the Email before interpreting the percentage.

24.58 Troubleshooting — Email Data Differs from Current Dashboard

Possible reasons include:

  1. The Email covers an earlier completed period.
  2. The Dashboard is currently using a different Date Range.
  3. New Analytics data has arrived since the Email was generated.
  4. Dashboard Filters are active.
  5. The Email is designed as a basic summary rather than every filtered Dashboard report.

Compare the dates before concluding there is a data problem.

24.59 Recommended Weekly Reporting Workflow

When AIUNIFY is configured for Weekly Email Reports:

  1. Open the report.
  2. Review Pageviews.
  3. Review Sessions if Advanced.
  4. Review Visitors.
  5. Note percentage changes.
  6. Identify significant increases/decreases.
  7. Click View analytics.
  8. Investigate the Dashboard.
  9. Review Goals.
  10. Review Annotations.
  11. Investigate behavioral reports where necessary.

This turns a recurring Email into an actionable weekly operating review.

24.60 Recommended Monthly Reporting Workflow

When AIUNIFY is configured for Monthly reports:

  1. Review current vs. previous period metrics.
  2. Record significant movements.
  3. Open AIUNIFY Analytics.
  4. Review acquisition sources.
  5. Review top Paths.
  6. Review Geography.
  7. Review Devices.
  8. Review Goals.
  9. Review Outbound Clicks.
  10. Review major Annotations.
  11. Compare Heatmaps/Replays where useful.
  12. Document actions for the next reporting period.

24.61 Recommended Executive Review

For executives or managers, Email Reports can act as an alerting layer.

Focus first on:

Pageviews

→ Is traffic changing?

Sessions

→ Is Website engagement volume changing?

Visitors

→ Is the Website attracting more or fewer people?

Then use the Dashboard only when a metric requires further investigation.

24.62 Recommended Marketing Review

Marketing teams can use Email Reports as the starting point for:

Traffic Change

Campaign Investigation

Referrers / UTMs

Landing Pages

Goals

Conversion Performance

The Email provides the high-level signal.

Detailed acquisition analysis remains inside AIUNIFY Analytics.

24.63 Recommended Sales Website Review

For lead-generation Websites:

Email Report

Traffic Trend

Goal Conversions

Outbound CTA Activity

Visitor Journeys

Replays / Heatmaps

This helps connect Website traffic with actual sales-funnel behavior.

24.64 Recommended Report Interpretation Rule

Do not make major business decisions from one percentage alone.

For example:

Pageviews +60%

may look excellent.

But if:

Goal Conversions -20%

the additional traffic may not be producing better business results.

Use Email Reports as:

Performance Signal

not:

Complete Business Diagnosis

24.65 Email Report Checklist

Before relying on Email Reports, confirm:

  1. Correct Website
  2. Email Reports feature available
  3. Account supports Email Reports
  4. Website Email Reports enabled
  5. Weekly/Monthly system cadence understood
  6. No separate user frequency selector expected
  7. Pageviews reviewed
  8. Sessions reviewed for Advanced Websites
  9. Visitors reviewed
  10. Previous period compared
  11. Current period compared
  12. Percentage changes understood
  13. Report dates reviewed
  14. View analytics used for deeper analysis
  15. Goals reviewed separately
  16. Annotations used for context
  17. Email Reports not confused with full Dashboard exports

24.66 Understanding the Complete Email Report Workflow

The Email Report process can be summarized as:

24.67 What You Should Know Before Moving On

You should now understand that AIUNIFY Analytics Email Reports are Website-level recurring summaries designed to provide:

“simple and easy to understand analytics” by email.

AIUNIFY supports a platform-configured cadence of either:

Weekly email reports

or:

Monthly email reports, and the Website user enables or disables the currently configured cadence rather than selecting the frequency themselves.

The Email Report compares the current and preceding reporting periods for:

  1. Pageviews
  2. Sessions for Advanced Tracking
  3. Visitors

and displays percentage movement between those periods.

Each message also contains:

View analytics

which returns you to the Website's full AIUNIFY Analytics Dashboard for deeper investigation.

Most importantly:

Email Reports tell you when performance changed.

The full AIUNIFY Analytics system helps you determine what changed, where it changed, and what action to take next.
