Property: days since last marketing email open (engagement recency helper)

Reporting and alertsContactMarketing Hub ProfessionalSimple~25 min to buildFull spec

Outcome. Every contact carries a rolling count of days since their last marketing email open, so segmentation and reporting can target or exclude by recency without a report author computing that gap manually every time.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it as a reusable filter for re-engagement segments, suppression lists, or a lead-scoring input based on email freshness.
  • UseUse it in a report or list alongside lifecycle stage to spot contacts going cold on email engagement specifically, distinct from overall engagement.
  • SkipDo not use it as a full engagement score by itself; it reflects email opens only, not clicks, form fills, or other channels.
  • SkipDo not use it if the portal has very low email send volume; a rolling recency number on contacts who rarely receive email adds little signal.
