Introduction to Queues and Delays

In ProLine, queues and delays serve distinct purposes:

  • Queues manage the flow of contacts into campaign actions to prevent overload and reduce spam risks.

  • Delays introduce a controlled pause between campaign actions, ensuring timely and coordinated execution of tasks.

Navigating to the Campaigns Page

To access your campaigns:

Add a Queue Step

Queue steps help control how many contacts move through your campaign at a time, which helps your team manage workload and avoid spam flags.

  • In your campaign’s flow, scroll down and click the plus icon (+).

  • Click the Four Arrow icon and move the step to the beginning of the campaign.

  • Click the dropdown and choose Queue Contact. You can hit the 'Q' key to bring up the option.

  • Set the maximum number of contacts per day. Remember, it's always better to choose a lower number!

Setting Delays Between Steps

Delays can be set to manage the timing between different campaign actions. You can set a pause by opening a step. The delay menu will open above the step you selected.
