When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it for a recurring, low-effort read on overall email program health for anyone who does not log into HubSpot regularly.
  • Use it as a monthly checkpoint alongside campaign-level analytics, not as a replacement for reviewing individual sends.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if the team needs per-email detail rather than an aggregate. This digest reports monthly totals and averages, not a breakdown by individual send; for that, use HubSpot's native Marketing Email analytics view directly.
  • Do not use it if fewer than a handful of marketing emails go out per month. A near-empty digest most months trains people to stop reading it.
