These insights help you confirm messages are reaching users’ phones and understand any delivery issues.\nCove sends text messages through a trusted messaging provider called Twilio. This works the same way email providers send emails behind the scenes, and delivery statuses such as “delivered” or “failed” come from this system.\nBuilding Admins can view both the overall metrics and user-level details.\n\nViewing SMS Delivery Metrics\n\nHow to Read the Aggregate Metrics\n\nHow to Read User-Level Details\n\nExample Metrics\n\nWhat’s Considered Normal\n\nTroubleshooting SMS\n\nViewing SMS Metrics\n\nGo to the Engage module.\n\nSelect Announcements.\n\nOpen the Sent / Scheduled tab.\n\nClick the subject line of a push announcement that has been sent.\n\nYou will see:\n\nRecipients\n\nPush Delivery Data\n\nA preview of the message\n\nNote: Select any number opens a filtered list of users.
