Step 3

Launch the campaign

Start the campaign only when the required setup is complete and the audience is ready.

Step 4

Pause when needed

Pause the campaign if you see bad data, sender issues, wrong copy, unexpected replies, or LinkedIn outreach automation warnings on connected accounts.

Step 5

Resume after fixes

Resume only after fixing the issue and confirming validation still passes.

What happens next

Use the LinkedIn outreach automation page as the reference when deciding whether to resume, lower limits, or remove a LinkedIn sender.

FAQ

Does pausing delete campaign progress?

No. Pausing stops new activity while preserving campaign setup and history.

Can I edit a live campaign?

Some edits may be allowed, but review the impact carefully before changing a live workflow. Be especially careful with LinkedIn outreach automation steps because copy, timing, and account health can affect restrictions.
