What happens when you pause a campaign?

All emails in this campaign are paused and will not be sent until the campaign is resumed.

If your campaign contains follow-ups, please consider the following:

  • When you pause a campaign, follow-ups are paused and won’t be sent.
  • When you resume, follow-ups that are scheduled in the future will be sent.
  • However, follow-ups that missed their deadlines (e.g., 3 days later) won’t be sent.

The reason behind this is that when you define a delay (e.g., 3 days later), if that period of time has passed, Mailmeteor is uncertain of what to do with the follow-up and defaults to cancel it.

How to resume a campaign?

You can resume a paused campaign whenever you want. To do so, open your campaign and click the Actions button. From there, select Resume sending and click Resume campaign to confirm.

How to cancel a campaign?

  2. Go to Campaigns.

  1. Select an ongoing or scheduled campaign.

  1. Go to Actions and select Cancel campaign.
