The dashboard
The "is everything okay?" page. Most days it should tell you nothing is wrong.
Alerts, only when there's something to say
Nothing renders when nothing is wrong. There's no all-clear panel, because a permanent green box at the top of a page is clutter that teaches people to stop reading the top of the page. The bell in the page header appears only when there is something in it. If you see it, act on it.
Four things can raise an alert:
- A tripped watchdog — a segment marked "should be empty" that isn't. It stays until the segment empties, or until you dismiss it.
- Provider errors in the last day — your sending provider rejecting or failing calls. Older errors are history, and live in the sync-health card on the Provider settings page.
- Emails that failed to send — rows that used up all three attempts and were dropped rather than retried forever. Nothing else will surface them, because by definition nothing will try them again.
- No mailing address set — anti-spam law requires every marketing email to show a physical mailing address, so the bell nudges until one is set under Settings → General → Email footer. Sending isn't blocked; the alert is the nudge.
Seen, and dismissed
The bell sits to the left of the figures in the page header, with a count on the corner. It pulses until you open it, then stays lit but quiet — a problem you've already read should stop shouting without disappearing.
Every alert links to the page that answers it, and carries a Dismiss link that clears it off the list. Dismissing means "I've dealt with this much of it": the alert stays gone while the number holds or falls, and comes back on its own if it grows. Dismissing "3 emails failed to send" will not bury the same alert at 300. If the problem clears entirely and later returns, it returns as a new alert — unseen, and pulsing again.
List growth
The size of your list day by day over the last 90 days — people added, minus people who unsubscribed — with the running total of unsubscribes as a second line.
It's a running total rather than a count of daily joins, because the question is whether the list is growing and a daily bar chart answers a noisier one. The line starts wherever your list already was, not at zero.
The rest of it
- Right now — subscribed, added and lost this week, how many people are inside a flow or partway through a sequence.
- Broadcasts — three cards split between what's scheduled next and what just went out, with the audience for the coming ones and how the recent ones did. The whole card is the link into it.
- Automations — the three flows with the most people standing in them right now, with how many entered this week.
The dashboard updates itself as the queue drains — you don't need to reload it to watch a broadcast go out.
