As of 13 August 2026, AI can analyse your email campaign results.
This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsThe available tool data does not provide a price for a human analyst or reporting service.
If this goes wrong: you change targeting or budget based on a misleading pattern and weaken future campaign performance.

How to actually do it
- Open your email platform's campaign reporting area and export the results for the relevant campaigns as a CSV or spreadsheet, including delivery, bounce, open, click, unsubscribe and conversion fields where available.
- Remove recipient names, email addresses and other unnecessary personal data, then keep campaign names, dates, audience segments and aggregated performance figures needed for comparison.
- Write down the campaign objective, date range, audience or segment definitions, conversion definition and any changes to tracking, consent or email-platform reporting during the period.
- Open an approved AI chat or Julius AI, upload the cleaned export, paste the context and metric definitions, and run the prompt.
- Compare every headline figure and percentage-point change in the response with the original platform export, checking that the denominators and date ranges match.
- Ask the model to recalculate any disputed figure and to label each explanation as observed, possible or unproven before accepting the report.
- Send the checked findings and proposed tests to the campaign owner or marketing team, and record which recommendation will be tested rather than treating correlation as proof.
Prompt
Analyse the attached email campaign results for [campaign objective] over [date range]. The data came from [email platform] and the platform defines the metrics as follows: [paste metric definitions if available]. The intended audience was [audience and segment details]. First, check the data for missing values, duplicate rows, inconsistent date ranges and metrics that cannot be compared fairly. State any data-quality problem before drawing conclusions. Then: 1. Summarise deliveries, bounces, opens, clicks, click-to-open rate, unsubscribes and conversions where those columns exist. 2. Compare campaigns, subject lines, send dates, audience segments and message types where the data supports a fair comparison. 3. Separate directly observed results from possible explanations. Do not claim causation from this dataset alone. 4. Identify the strongest and weakest results, unusual changes and patterns that may be misleading because of small or different-sized groups. 5. Give up to five practical next actions, each linked to a finding and labelled as a test, an operational fix or a decision requiring more evidence. 6. Show the calculations behind every percentage-point change and use only figures present in the data. Do not invent benchmarks, campaign details or reasons for recipient behaviour. Present the result under these headings: Data checks, Key results, Comparisons, What the data does not prove, Recommended next tests, and Questions to investigate. Keep the language suitable for a UK marketing team.

What it gets wrong
- AI cannot know whether a change came from creative, timing, audience quality, deliverability or tracking without reliable context and a suitable comparison.
- It cannot make privacy-related open and click metrics fully comparable when platform measurement methods change.
- It cannot decide which campaign objective matters most when clicks, conversions, revenue and list growth point in different directions.
- It cannot take responsibility for changing your budget, targeting, send frequency or consent practices.
- It cannot turn a weak or incomplete export into reliable evidence by filling in missing campaign history.
Even on a YES, the friction has a name: judgement under ambiguity, verification cost and stakes of error.
How we scored this
Five axes, each scored nought to two by hand: ten means AI carries the task cleanly, and the thresholds that turn a total into YES, PARTLY or NO are published in the methodology. Each axis name links to its definition.
| Axis | Score (0–2) |
|---|---|
| Output | 2 |
| Inputs | 2 |
| Verification | 1 |
| Liability | 1 |
| Effort delta | 2 |
| Total | 8 / 10 |

FAQ
- Can AI analyse email campaign data?
- Yes. Give it a clean export and the campaign context, and it can calculate comparisons, find patterns and draft a report. Check the figures against the email platform and treat explanations as hypotheses unless the data supports them.
- Can AI tell me why my open rate dropped?
- It can identify when and where the drop happened and suggest possible explanations. It cannot prove the cause from open-rate data alone, especially when audience mix, subject lines, deliverability or measurement methods also changed.
- Can AI analyse Mailchimp results?
- Yes, if you export the relevant Mailchimp results and upload the cleaned file to an AI analysis tool. Include the campaign dates, audience segments, conversion definition and any changes to tracking so that comparisons are not misleading.
- Can AI recommend what I should change in my next email campaign?
- It can turn observed patterns into testable recommendations, such as comparing subject lines or audience segments. You should choose the final change and measure the next campaign against a clear objective rather than accepting a correlation as a proven rule.
