How the Engagement Score Works
The engagement score displayed on the profile header is a composite number from 0 to 100 that reflects how active and engaged this fan is with your content. Factors that increase the score:- Opening emails
- Clicking links in emails
- Replying to SMS messages
- Pre-saving releases
- RSVPing to events
- Purchasing merch
- Clicking smart links
- Completing flow steps
- Inactivity over time (scores decay gradually if a fan stops engaging)
- Opting out of channels
Tips & Best Practices
- Check profiles before one-on-one outreach. Before you message a fan directly, look at their activity timeline. Referencing something specific (“Hey, thanks for pre-saving the new album!”) makes your message feel personal and genuine.
- Use the Rewards tab to surprise superfans. When you see a fan about to hit Diamond tier, consider giving them a small token boost to push them over the edge. It is a great excuse to reach out and celebrate with them.
- Keep custom fields updated. If a fan mentions their birthday in a conversation, add it to their profile. These details add up and let you send personalized messages at scale later.
- Review the timeline for churn signals. If a previously active fan has gone quiet (no activity in their timeline for months and a declining engagement score), they might need a re-engagement campaign.
- Use the Conversations tab for context. Before replying to an SMS or DM, scroll up in the conversation to refresh your memory on what was discussed before.
