Campaign Lifecycle

3 min readUpdated 2026-04-12

Key Takeaway

Campaigns move through Draft → Active → Paused → Completed; they auto-pause automatically if bounce rate exceeds 2% or spam complaint rate exceeds 0.1%, protecting your sender reputation.

Campaign Stages

Draft

The campaign has been created but not yet started. You can still edit all settings.

Active

The campaign is running. Your agent is actively finding leads, sending outreach, and following up at your plan's full daily limit.

Paused

You've temporarily stopped the campaign. No new emails will be sent, but your agent continues to monitor replies from previously contacted leads.

Completed

The campaign has reached its end date or all objectives have been met. Final statistics are compiled and available in your reports.

Automatic Safeguards

Campaigns will auto-pause if:

  • Email bounce rate exceeds 2%
  • Spam complaint rate exceeds 0.1%
  • The daily send limit is reached

These thresholds protect your sender reputation and ensure compliance with email best practices.
