Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How far back does SegMetrics import historical subscriber data from Beehiiv?

A: SegMetrics typically imports historical subscriber data from the past 12-24 months, depending on your account settings and data volume. Contact support if you need to adjust the historical import timeframe.

Q: Will SegMetrics track email opens and clicks from my Beehiiv newsletters?

A: No SegMetrics does not track email open rates. But it does track when the link within an email is clicked. The SegMetrics pixel is located on your webpages, so its only when a user hits the page that the pixel can begin tracking.

Q: What happens if I can't find my API key after creating it?

A: Beehiiv displays the API key only once immediately upon creation for security reasons. If you didn't copy it, you'll need to create a new API key to continue.

Q: Can I connect multiple Beehiiv accounts to SegMetrics? A: You can only connect one Beehiiv account per SegMetrics account. If you need to track data from multiple Beehiiv accounts, you would need separate SegMetrics accounts for each one.
