What are Reports?

​Reports are a way to monitor and report specific metrics for specific creators, both in a recurring fashion and on demand. If you want to be regularly updated on the performance of a specific group of creators, keep an eye on a particular game, or just collect and deliver data in a simple, digestible way, reports are how you’ll do it.

The Reports page is where all of your generated reports, both recurring and manual, will live. Here, you’ll be able to see each report’s name, type, frequency, status (ready or processing), last run date, next run date, and creator. You can also search for a particular report by name. Clicking on that or any name will open up the individual report page, where the most recent and all previous runs can be downloaded as .csv files. This is also where you’ll be able to manually run or pause a report.

Creating a Report

​Selecting the “New Report” button from the main report page will begin the process and open the “Set Up New Report” window. Give the new report a descriptive name, so it will be easy to identify later, and then choose the type of report you’d like to generate.

​A Contacts Report gives you specific updated numbers or information for your contacts or segments that you select yourself. Choosing this type of report will reveal the list of data points from which you can choose, with options from your typical YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter metrics to things like addresses, birthdays, current occupation, and more.

​Once you selected the information you want the report to contain, you can use the pulldown menu labeled “I would like this report to include…” to select which contacts to include. You can use segments created on your contacts page to run reports against specific groups of creators.

​Finally, the next pulldown menu, labeled “I would like this report to run…” can be used to determine the frequency with which the report is generated, either daily, weekly, monthly, or when manually triggered. The last menu allows you to limit your report to contacts created within a certain timeframe. Finish by selecting Create Report.

​A Twitch Broadcasts Report, meanwhile, displays the performance of an individual game or keyword compared to the overall Twitch stats of a segment or all your contacts. In many ways, the process for generating a report of this type is similar to the previous. Create a name, select a segment to include, the frequency with which the report will occur, and how recently the included creators should have been added to your contacts. Unlike a contact report, however, there will be no list of options to check or uncheck. Instead you’ll see a “I would like this report to be based on…” field.

If running a report on a game, select “a particular game” and then start typing the title into the field below. Select the correct title from the drop-down menu as you type.​

The other option, to base the report “on keywords,” will search for whatever terms you’d like in the associated creators’ stream titles. Once you’ve input your keywords or game title, you can select “Create Report” to finish.
