FAQs

🤔 Can I cancel a campaign in the middle of the sending process?

Yes, you absolutely can. A campaign that has started delivering can be paused or canceled. This will ensure that the recipients won’t receive your email. However, you cannot do anything about the recipients who have already received your email before you decided to pause or cancel it.

🤔 What if I decide to send the campaign after I paused it?

If you change your decision and would like to proceed with the campaign that you paused, you can reschedule it at any time.

🤔Why do I need to pause a campaign?

You may have to pause a campaign when there is a broken link in your email, or if you want to change the content or imagery. It could also be simply because you changed your mind and don’t want the campaign to go out.

🤔How effective are the changes when I reschedule a campaign after a pause?

The recipients who already received your emails before pausing it will not be able to see the changes you made. It’ll be effective only for the recipients who receive your emails after the reschedule.

🤔How do I prevent typos and mistakes in my campaigns?

Some of the best practices include making use of the “Preview” option on BayEngage to make sure everything looks perfect. You can also send test emails to check for typos, broken links, mobile view, and more.
