Location metrics have been relocated within Reporting

To improve consistency and avoid confusion in an email campaign's Reporting metrics, Geotracking Location data has been moved to display along with the Raw Data of a Campaign's Details reports. This data had previously been located along the different ways to group data (by Domain, by Sender, by Email Client, etc.), though it did not group by location.

Now, you will find the location data in the raw data report itself.


The additional columns showing Geotracking's Country Code, Region, City, Zip Code, ISP, Domain Name, Latitude, and Longitude are on the right.

You can also read earlier blog posts about Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III of our Geo Tracking deployment. These previous posts show you how to view raw location data on Opens, Clicks, and Page Views, as well as segment your data by distance from a particular zip code.

New API method to retrieve SMTP log for transactional email

We've launched a new API method to retrieve the SMTP log for a transactional email message. The method, Reports_GetSMTPLog_Transactional, is described in detail below.



The method takes, as input parameters, the account username, password, and the numeric Transactional ID corresponding to the transactional email for which the SMTP Log should be retrieved. The method was designed around the Transactional ID rather than a recipient email address, since the Transactional ID will always be unique per individual transactional email message. With email addresses, there can be multiple transactional emails to the same address within an account.

Thet Transactional ID can be retrieved from the User Interface in Reporting, or via other API methods, like Reports_Transactional_GetRecipients_XML.

The output of Reports_GetSMTPLog_Transactional includes the SMTP log as an XML string:




Note: This new method is in addition to our existing method that retrieves SMTP logs for broadcast email messages:



JangoMail is the only email service that offers access to SMTP logs for both broadcast email campaigns and transactional email, and is now also the only service to do so through an API. The full API, including documentation and test forms, is at http://api.jangomail.com/
  • Reports_GetSMTPLog
    Returns the SMTP log session for the specified broadcast campaign's email address


  • Reports_GetSMTPLog_Transactional
    Returns the SMTP log session for the specified transactional email message
