What are the limitations with Omnisend data?

Because of the way Omnisend’s API is structured, there are a few important limitations to keep in mind when viewing analytics in Hiro:

  1. No Order-Level Data
    Omnisend does not provide order-level attribution details. As a result, Hiro can only display the total revenue attributed to your email and SMS campaigns or flows — not break it down by specific products or customer segments.

  2. No Product-Level Insights in Campaign Deep Dives
    Without access to order-level data, Hiro cannot show which specific products contributed to the revenue generated from a campaign.

  3. No Campaign/Flow Creative Visuals
    Omnisend does not provide a way to capture the creative asset for each campaign/flow message. As a result, links or previews of those visuals will not be available in Hiro.

  4. No Visibility Into New vs. Returning Customer Revenue
    Because detailed order information isn’t available, metrics splitting revenue from first-time vs. returning customers will not appear in your analytics.

  5. No Store-Wide Revenue Comparison
    Omnisend’s API does not provide total store revenue data. This means Hiro can’t calculate what percentage of overall store revenue is attributed to email and SMS campaigns.

  6. No List Growth or Subscriber Data ... yet
    This data is not available in this version of our integration but may be possible to add in future versions.


Differences in Reported Revenue

Hiro is using the Omnisend Reporting API, which aggregates revenue based on the day the attributed order was placed, as opposed to the day the message was received.

For example, if someone clicked an email on August 31st, but then ordered on September 1st, Hiro would report that revenue as part of September, where Omnisend would report that revenue as part of August.

This will create a small difference between Omnisend in-platform revenue reporting (which uses message date attribution) and Hiro (which uses the Reporting API's order date attribution).
