# Launching a Campaign

### Launch Campaign

After campaign creation, campaign is displayed in the Campaigns List. It will remain disabled until Launch Campaign is selected.

* By launching, the campaign begins actions selected during campaign creation.

#### \* Please Notice: (when launching campaign) \*

* Campaign state update – It may take time prior to being shown as Processing. Please wait until you see the campaign ‘state’ changes.
* Page refresh –  Refreshing the page immediately after launching the campaign may interfere the campaign creation. Some loading time is needed, and it should refresh by itself.
* Uploading a customer list – Wait until the entire list has loaded
* Social / Email campaign - Email addresses must be loaded in order for the campaign to launch
* Creating a new group - Date must be added for the existing customers last purchase
* Expiration dates of Campaigns must be set as a future date (at least the next day)

**Send Manually** – Typically used for “On demand” campaigns. This option sends the coupon manually to selected customer(s). The campaign is sent via SMS and email of selected customer(s).

**Send Test** – Similar to Send Manually, however, typically used for “life-cycle” campaigns.

**Edit** – Edit, add, or remove items or rules from the selected campaign.
