Fix and resend a failed campaign

CampaignsUpdated

Turn a failed campaign back into a draft, fix the problem, and send it again.

A Failed campaign can be fixed and sent again. Click Revise on its page to turn it back into a draft. We also email you when a campaign fails (Your campaign “…” couldn’t be sent).

  1. Open the failed campaign. Its page says why it couldn’t be sent. For a template error, open Details to see the exact problem.
  2. Click Revise. The campaign is a draft again, and you land on Review with the reason at the top and what to fix under What’s left.
  3. Fix what caused it, then send or schedule it again.

What the reason means

  • “A link in your email couldn’t be read”: check your links for typos or stray characters.
  • “Email content has a template error and can’t be sent”: a merge tag is broken. See Merge tags: personalise with contact data.
  • “Campaign resolved to zero recipients”: by the time it sent, nobody in your audience could receive it. Check the audience on Setup. See Choose your audience.
  • “Every send for this campaign failed, so nobody received it”: every email was refused. Check your domain under Settings → Sending domains before you try again, and email us if it happens twice.
  • “This campaign was blocked after a content review”: see My campaign is “in review”.
  • “We couldn’t prepare this campaign”: something went wrong on our side. Revise and send it again. If it fails again, email contact@emailfig.com.

“A link in your email points to a domain we block, so sending is paused on your account.” This one also suspends your account, so Revise won’t get it sent. Email contact@emailfig.com if you think it’s a mistake. See My account was suspended.

Revise only works on a Failed campaign. To send a Sent or Canceled campaign again, duplicate it instead.
