To conduct email traffic analysis in GA4, we will create a new exploration report from scratch. This new report would have nine tabs. 

Each tab would display one sub-report, which measures the performance of your email marketing campaigns and email traffic.

Following are the nine sub-reports we would create in our exploration report:

#1 Overview – This report provides an overview of each email marketing campaign:

#2 Landing Pages – Use this report to measure the performance of landing pages from email traffic:

#3 Devices – Use this report to measure the performance of different devices (desktop, mobile, smart TV, tablet) which sent email traffic to your website:

#4 Browsers – Use this report to measure the performance of different web browsers which sent email traffic to your website:

#5 Countries – Use this report to determine the countries which sent email traffic to your website:

#6 Conversions – Use this report to determine all the conversions generated by email traffic on your website:

#7 ECommerce – Use this report to measure the ecommerce performance of email traffic to your website:
