--- title: "Grow Boosts dashboard overview" updated: 2026-05-07 --- # Grow Boosts dashboard overview > Available on **paid beehiiv** plans. [Boosts](https://www.beehiiv.com/features/boosts) is a two-sided marketplace that connects newsletters looking to grow their audience with publishers promoting other newsletters for revenue. You can participate in one or both sides of the Boosts marketplace (Grow and Monetize), but using them together can maximize your success. When using Grow Boosts, you’re paying for verified subscribers referred to your newsletter. To help you track and optimize your acquisition strategy, beehiiv provides a comprehensive dashboard with key insights and performance metrics for each publication you partner with — allowing you to make the most of your budget. This article breaks down the types of data you’ll see and provides a walkthrough of each dashboard tab, explaining its sections and what to expect. Simply click on the sections below to explore its details. To access your Grow with Boosts dashboard, navigate to [**Boosts**](https://app.beehiiv.com/grow/boosts) under **Grow** in the left panel of your account.  ![Grow w Boosts.01.png](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/39578289790871) > **Important Note** > > Your newsletter’s acquisition strategy is unique, and so is your Boosts data.

For example, if you consistently reject publications with less than 100 posts, simply set the ‘Number of posts’ filter to ‘less than’ > ‘100’ and reject all applications that meet this criterion in one action. **Create the filter:** ![](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/30098655664023) **Then bulk reject the results:** ![](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/30098629671319) ### Create auto-accept rules For a more automated approach to managing growth, you can enable auto-accept rules to handle these actions automatically. By clicking on **Enable auto-accept** next to the Filters option, a form will appear on the right for you to set specific parameters that determine which publications are accepted without manual review. On the form, simply set your parameters and then click **Enable auto-accept.** ![](https://beehiivhelp.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/30098655666711) ### Email Applications > **Tech Note** > > Email Boosts were deprecated on April 10, 2026 and are no longer available. **View expenses and subscriber graphs** ## Insights Tab The **Insights** tab is dedicated to showing you macro trends with respect to subscriber growth and total spend across all of your Boosts.

Here’s what each option controls: **View Web Boosts:** Allows you to view only your Web Boosts. **Disable:** When you disable an offer, the publications currently boosting you can continue to send you subscribers, but your offer will be removed from the marketplace so nobody else will be able to apply to it. \* You can also choose to reactivate a disabled offer by publishing it again as your live offer (since there can only be one live offer at a time.) **Archive:** If you archive an offer, it will end it as an active boost and be removed from the marketplace. \* Please note that archiving a boost is permanent and cannot be reactivated. **Edit:** You can only edit your current live offer. Additionally, saving a new offer will end any previous offer and become your live Boosts offer. \* If you edit the CPA, this will end your current offer and the new CPA will be published as your new live offer in the marketplace where publications can apply to boost it.
