How to plan in or pause your Campaign

Once you have created your campaign, it's time to launch it. Occasionally, it becomes essential to pause the campaign, to accommodate ongoing processing needs. This guide will walk you through the steps for both launching and pausing your campaign.

Note: Prior to launching or pausing a campaign, it is essential to first create the campaign itself. You can access the manual on how to create your campaign by clicking here.
