Why Extract from EmailOctopus Reports?

EmailOctopus provides campaign reports including opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes. Each report contains subscriber-level engagement data with email addresses.

While the general EmailOctopus export is covered in Extract Emails from EmailOctopus Export and automation data in Extract Emails from EmailOctopus Automations, this article focuses on report-specific exports for engagement-based lists.

Working with the Results

Engaged subscriber lists

Extract emails from subscribers who opened or clicked. Import into a CRM for relationship tracking.

Re-engagement

Extract emails from subscribers with no recent opens. Use for win-back campaigns through different content or channels.

Bounce management

Export bounced email addresses. Use the list to suppress these addresses in external platforms.

Verify addresses

Recorded opens and clicks do not confirm a human reader or a currently reachable mailbox. Security scanners can generate clicks, and privacy features can generate opens; compare activity with replies or conversions before interpreting engagement. See Mailchimp’s explanation of automated opens and clicks and Apple’s explanation of background content loading. Bounced addresses need removal. See Best email verification services.

Things to Know

Contact data is not preserved

Email Extractor outputs email addresses only. Names, tags, custom fields and other EmailOctopus data are not carried over.
