Use the email campaign outbox

The outbox is where you can find campaigns currently sending, or scheduled campaigns waiting for their allotted time to be sent.

You can see the status of your campaigns and control what happens to them before they send from the outbox. You can pause and resume sends, reschedule sends for another time, or cancel sends altogether.

Once all the sends for a campaign are processed, the campaign moves from the outbox to the Sent section.

Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • If you're only sending a campaign to a small number of contacts immediately, you’re unlikely to see your campaign in the outbox as it will be processed too quickly.

  • The numbers given for emails already sent and emails remaining in the Pause or resume and Cancel windows are estimates. It is not possible to identify which contacts were sent the campaign before it was cancelled.

  • Emails already sent cannot be recalled and are chargeable.

  • Paused campaigns are cancelled if they aren't resumed within seven days of the expected send date.

  • Cancelled sends which have partially processed move to Sent campaigns.

  • Partial reporting may be available for a cancelled send, but the Emails sent figure shows the total number of contacts originally selected for the send, even if the send did not complete.
