Metric Description
Sent

The total number of SMS message segments successfully submitted by Marketing Cloud to the aggregator for delivery. Messages that exceed the single-SMS character limit are automatically split into multiple segments.

For example, a 200-character message is sent as two segments. Each segment counts individually as one sent.

Delivered

The total number of SMS message segments accepted by the aggregator and not yet reported as failed. Each segment of a multi-part message is tracked independently. A segment counts as delivered once the aggregator accepts it, and it remains delivered unless the aggregator later reports a failure. As a result, the delivered count includes segments in any of these states:

  • Confirmed delivered to the subscriber's device
  • Still in transit, awaiting aggregator confirmation
  • Accepted, with no delivery report returned by the aggregator
Undelivered

The total number of SMS message segments for which the aggregator returned a failure delivery report, indicating the segment couldn't be delivered to the subscriber's device. This count updates only when the aggregator explicitly reports a delivery failure.
