Analytics overview

In the Business Communications Developer Console, the Analytics overview tab provides RBM partners with a summary view of all their agents. It includes key agent metrics, such as reputation and traffic limit (if applicable). This data is also available through the Management API.

How to access the Analytics overview

  1. Open the Business Communications Developer Console.
  2. Click the Analytics overview tab from the home page.

You'll see a table listing each agent, including its reputation and traffic limit. The table is initially sorted by reputation to highlight underperforming agents.

Key metrics explained

Reputation score

The reputation score reflects an agent's performance based on user feedback and spam reports. There are three tiers:

  • High: Low spam reports, indicating strong adherence to best practices.
  • Medium: Moderate spam reports, requiring regular monitoring. This is the default reputation score for all agents.
  • Low: High spam reports, requiring immediate attention and remediation.

Traffic limit

The traffic limit dictates the number of initial messages (first outreach in a conversation) an agent can send to a unique user within a rolling 28-day window. This limit is determined by the agent's reputation at the time of the message:

  • High reputation: Traffic limit of 8 initial messages.
  • Medium reputation: Traffic limit of 4 initial messages.
  • Low reputation: Traffic limit of 2 initial messages.

Key considerations for partners

  • First contact and traffic limit: When an agent sends a message to a new user, they start with a pool of 8 tokens for that user within a 28-day period. Depending on the agent's current reputation, 1, 2, or 4 tokens are deducted for each message sent.
  • Impact of reputation changes on existing conversations: If an agent's reputation improves or declines, the new token deduction rate (1, 2, or 4 tokens per message) applies instantly to all subsequent messages. Tokens already used in an existing 28-day conversation window are not retroactively adjusted; the new rate only affects future messages, and no additional tokens are granted until the 28-day period ends.
  • Follow-up on replies: When a user replies to an agent's message, the agent receives a double rebate on their traffic limit, allowing them to send additional messages to that user within the 28-day window. This allows natural conversations to continue freely.

Time periods and data freshness

  • Daily data: Metrics are updated every 24 hours, typically reflecting data up through the previous calendar day.

Using the dashboard

The dashboard table includes:

  • Agent name
  • Agent ID
  • Country
  • Use case
  • Reputation (High, Medium, Low)
