Channel Performance Report in Sequences

How to read the Channel Performance Report inside a sequence — metrics per channel, Sequence View vs. User View, and how to use the comparative bar charts.

Written by Amogh Balikai

Who this is for: Recruiters and managers who want to understand how each channel is performing within a specific sequence.

What the Channel Performance Report shows

The Channel Performance Report lives inside the Overview tab of each sequence. It breaks down performance by outreach channel — Email, Social, SMS, and Tasks — so you can see exactly which channels are driving replies and which aren't pulling their weight.

All metrics are calculated at the unique recipient level within the sequence and channel. If a sequence has three email steps and a recipient opens emails in two of them, they count as one opened recipient for Email — not two.

Sequence View vs. User View

A View By toggle in the top right of the report controls how metrics are grouped:

  • Sequence View (default) — aggregates metrics across all senders. Shows overall channel performance for the sequence.

  • User View — breaks down every metric by the individual sender assigned to recipients. Lets you compare recruiter performance channel by channel.

The same metrics and channel tabs are available in both views. Switching to User View adds a recruiter breakdown row under each metric.

Email channel metrics

Covers all email step types in the sequence: Automated Email, Manual Email, and Marketing Email combined.

Comparative bar charts

Below the per-channel metric tables, the report includes visual bar charts for quick channel comparison.

In Sequence View

A side-by-side bar chart compares channels against each other — Email vs. Social vs. SMS — on metrics like Reply Rate and Open Rate. Bars are ordered highest to lowest. Hovering shows absolute values (e.g., "Email: 42 replies, 8% Reply Rate").

Use this to answer: Which channel is working best for this sequence?

In User View

The chart pivots to show recruiter performance within each channel — each bar represents a sender. A metric dropdown lets you switch between Reply %, Open %, Meetings Booked, etc. Bars are sorted highest to lowest. Hovering shows the full breakdown per sender.

Use this to answer: Who on my team is performing best on each channel?
