The status of a campaign determines whether configured steps are executed automatically. A new campaign usually starts as a draft and is paused by default. This allows you to add candidates, adjust messages, and finish the settings before any emails or LinkedIn steps are sent.
Activate a campaign
When you activate a campaign, automatic execution starts for the candidates added to that campaign. From that moment on, the campaign schedule determines when the first or next step is executed.
So candidates do not all have to receive a message immediately. That depends on the configured timing per step, available contact details, and any conditions inside the campaign.
Pause a campaign
When you pause a campaign, NIXZ stops executing new campaign steps. Candidates remain in the campaign and the existing progress is preserved.
Pausing has no retroactive effect. Messages that have already been sent stay sent, and replies or earlier activity remain visible in the campaign history.
Resume a campaign
When you resume a campaign, execution continues based on the existing progress of each candidate. A candidate who already completed the first step does not start from the beginning again.
The next step is executed as soon as it is due according to the campaign schedule and there are no blockers, such as missing contact details or a paused candidate.
Pause a campaign or a candidate
Pause the campaign when you want to stop execution for all candidates. If you only want to prevent one specific candidate from moving through the flow, pause that candidate only.
That lets you decide at campaign level or at candidate level where automatic follow-up should stop temporarily.
Practical use
Use the campaign status mainly to keep control over the moment when automatic follow-up becomes active. Keep a campaign paused while you are still working on the content or the selection. Activate the campaign when candidates are actually allowed to move through the configured flow.
