If an automation is “paused” the contacts will still remain in the campaign and automation but the automation will not run. None of the events will be triggered or executed.
Published/Unpublished
Click the toggle switch to publish or unpublish the Campaign. Ensure that you do not publish a Campaign until you’re actually ready for it to go live. You can also schedule to publish or unpublish a Campaign at a future date by selecting a time and date.
