The Execute Campaign button remains greyed out until three prerequisites have all been completed inside the campaign. Missing even one will keep the button disabled. This is by design — a campaign cannot run without contacts to reach, a message to send, and an account to send from.
The 3 things you must complete before Execute becomes clickable
# | Requirement | Where to do it |
1 | Contacts added to the campaign At least one contact must be present in the campaign's contact list. | Campaign → Contacts tab → Add or upload contacts |
2 | Sequence saved You must have at least one step in the sequence and it must be saved (not just drafted). | Campaign → Sequence tab → Build steps → click Save |
3 | Account connected to the campaign A sending account (email or LinkedIn) must be selected and attached to this campaign. | Campaign → Settings or Accounts tab → select your sending account |
How to check which step you're missing
Open your campaign and look at each of the three tabs — Contacts, Sequence, and Settings/Accounts. Any tab that is incomplete or shows a warning is the one blocking the Execute button.
Saved vs. drafted sequence
A common mistake is building out your sequence steps but not clicking Save. The sequence must be explicitly saved for the system to recognise it as ready. Look for a Save or Confirm button at the bottom or top of the Sequence editor.
Where to get contacts if you don't have any yet
You can add contacts to a campaign in two ways:
Upload a CSV — Go to Campaign → Contacts tab → Upload file. Your CSV should include at minimum a first name and either an email address or LinkedIn profile URL.
Import from LinkedIn Search — Go to Contacts → Lists in the left menu → create a new list using a LinkedIn search URL. Once the list is built, add it to your campaign.
