Create a Push Notification Send Logging Data Extension
The send log stores data about each of your sends in a data extension. Only push notifications and inbox messages are included in the MobilePush (in Marketing Cloud Engagement) send log. You can use send log data in reports and other data extracts.
Ask your account representative to enable send logging for your account. After send logging is enabled for your account, create a data extension in Contact Builder with the PushSendLog template. Don’t make the data extension sendable.
- In Contact Builder, on the Data Extensions tab, click Create.
- For Creation Method, select Create from Template.
- Select the PushSendLog template and click Done.
- Name your data extension.
- Leave the Sendable and Testable checkboxes unchecked.
- Click Next.
- Select your Data Retention setting and click Next.
-
The send log includes a standard set of fields. You can create more fields. If the
attributes name matches the source, attributes from the Contact record or data extension are
written to the SendLog.
- PushJobID: The ID of the job, or bundle of sends, that included the push notification
- PushTriggeredSendRequest: TokenID that is returned from the API call. When you use list and data extension sends, is the same as the PushJobID
- PushBatchID: The ID of the batch, or bundle of jobs, for batched sends
- SubID: The ID of the subscriber to whom the message was sent
- DeviceID: The ID of the device that received the push notification
- AppID: The ID of the app that received the push notification
- LogDate: The date that this data was written to the send log
- Click Complete.
In Automation Studio, run a query activity on the send logging data extension to return report data on the information contained in that data extension.
