Dashboard Overview

What you see first

When you open a workspace for the first time, the dashboard shows an onboarding checklist rather than empty metric cards. Mailrith does this intentionally — charts without data are misleading, and the checklist makes clear exactly which setup steps remain before you can send your first email.

Once your workspace is operational, the dashboard transitions into a live performance view. Subscriber growth, broadcast activity, sequence enrollment, and automation status are all visible in one place without having to visit each feature page separately.

Setup checklist

The checklist walks you through the three things every workspace needs before it can operate. Mailrith only shows steps relevant to your account permissions and hides items you cannot access.

1. Connect an email delivery service. Mailrith is provider-agnostic — you bring your own sending infrastructure. Choose from Amazon SES, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailgun, Resend, Brevo, or a custom SMTP server. See the Email Delivery Connections guide.
2. Add your first subscribers. Create contacts individually, import a CSV, or embed a signup form on your website. At least one active subscriber is required before you can send a broadcast.
3. Send your first campaign. A broadcast, a sequence, or an active automation marks the workspace as operational. Once this step is complete the checklist disappears permanently.

Each checklist item is a direct link to the relevant feature page. You do not need to navigate manually — clicking the step takes you straight there.

Metrics and trends

After setup, the dashboard displays summary cards that reflect current workspace activity. The cards you see depend on your plan — free workspaces see upgrade prompts for Pro-only features, and Pro workspaces see live numbers across every enabled area.

• Subscribers: total audience size, active count, and recent growth or churn.
• Broadcasts: how many one-off campaigns have been sent and the most recent delivery activity.
• Sequences: active drip series and the number of subscribers currently progressing through them.
• Automations: how many automation flows are live and subscribers currently in-progress.
• Tags: how your audience is organized for targeting and segmentation.

Use the dashboard as a daily orientation — a place to confirm things are running before moving into audience management or campaign work. If subscriber counts look unexpectedly low or a broadcast count has not changed, that is visible here before you need to run a dedicated report.

Recommended next steps

For a new workspace, work through the setup checklist in order. For an existing workspace, treat the dashboard as a launchpad — confirm the summary looks healthy, then jump into the feature area that needs attention.
