Messages
Understand how reusable message records support marketing sends inside Leadpush.
The Messages screen is the message-level activity log for your workspace. Use it when you need to review which emails were sent, check whether a recipient opened or clicked, inspect bounce or rejection details, and trace a message back to the contact, newsletter, campaign, or SMTP source that created it.
Unlike layouts, snippets, or newsletters, this page is not a content editor. It is an operational reporting view for message records that already exist.
Before you start
- Open the correct workspace before reviewing messages, since message history is workspace-specific.
- Use Contacts when you want recipient-level context around one person.
- Use Newsletters or Campaigns when you want send context scoped to one initiative.
Open the Messages screen
From the dashboard sidebar, go to Messaging -> Messages.
This opens the full messages table for the workspace.
What the messages table shows
Each row represents a single message record. The table includes:
- Recipient, linked to the contact record
- Source, showing whether the message came from a newsletter, campaign, or SMTP
- Provider, when a provider label is available
- Status, such as
pending,sent,delivered,failed, orrejected - engagement and delivery state columns such as delivered, opened, hard bounce, soft bounce, and complaint
- Simulated, when the message was generated as a simulated record
- Created, showing when the message record was created
If a message has a tag, it appears in the source column below the source label.
Filter and search message records
The Messages screen is designed for investigation and review. You can:
- search the message table
- filter by Provider
- filter by Status
- filter by Source
- filter by Event State
- filter by a Created date range
The Event State filter lets you narrow records by:
- opened
- clicked
- hard bounce
- soft bounce
- complaint
Each of those can be filtered as Any, Yes, or No.
Review the source of a message
The Source column helps you understand where a message came from.
Leadpush can show messages tied to:
- a Newsletter
- a Campaign
- SMTP
When the source is a newsletter or campaign, the row links directly to that related record so you can investigate the broader send context.
Expand a message to inspect events
Each row can be expanded to show the event history for that message.
The expanded event table shows events such as:
- open
- click
- bounce
- rejected
Depending on the event type, Leadpush may also show supporting context such as:
- clicked URL
- IP address
- user agent
- rejection reason
- bounce reason
The expanded panel also shows the internal message ID, which is useful when support or engineering needs a precise message record.
How to investigate delivery issues
Use the Messages screen when you need to answer questions like:
- Was this message delivered?
- Did the recipient open it?
- Did the recipient click a link?
- Was it rejected or bounced?
- Did the message come from a campaign, a newsletter, or an SMTP send?
For recipient-specific investigation, start from the recipient link and open the contact record. For send-specific investigation, follow the newsletter or campaign link from the source column.
When to use this page instead of other message views
Use Messages when you want a workspace-wide view across all sends.
Use other pages when you want a narrower scope:
- Contacts for messages tied to one person
- Newsletters for messages tied to one newsletter
- Campaigns for messages tied to one campaign
Best practices
- Filter by status first when investigating failed delivery.
- Use the event-state filters to isolate opens, clicks, or complaints quickly.
- Follow the recipient link when you need to understand message history for one contact.
- Follow the newsletter or campaign link when the issue may affect a larger send.
- Use the expanded event view before escalating a delivery issue so you already have the relevant context.
