The Challenge

When you're running multiple SmartLead campaigns, it's easy to lose track of which ones are performing and which are silently burning through your sender reputation. A campaign with a high bounce rate can tank your domain health before you notice. And campaigns sitting in draft with leads loaded never get activated because nobody remembers to check.

Smart Pause Recommendations

Flag campaigns with high bounce rates, low opens, or exhausted leads

The Prompt

The Prompt

Task

Use @SmartLead/List All CampaignsName it "SmartLead/List All Campaigns" and call it with @SmartLead/List All Campaigns to pull every campaign, then check each one with @SmartLead/Get Campaign Top-Level Analytics. Identify campaigns that should be paused (high bounce rate, low open rate, exhausted leads) or activated (ready campaigns with leads loaded). Recommend status changes and execute them on confirmation with @SmartLead/Update Campaign StatusName it "SmartLead/Update Campaign Status" and call it with @SmartLead/Update Campaign Status.

Example: Review all my SmartLead campaigns, pause anything with a bounce rate over 5%, and activate any draft campaigns that have leads loaded.

Input

The user will provide any specific thresholds or criteria for pausing/activating campaigns. If not specified, use the defaults below.

Example: "Pause campaigns with reply rates below 1% and activate any campaigns in draft status" or "Review all campaigns and tell me which ones need attention"

Context

Default Thresholds for Pausing

Flag a campaign for pausing if any of these are true:

  • Bounce rate above 5%
  • Open rate below 20%
  • Reply rate below 1% after 100+ sends
  • More than 80% of leads are completed or stopped
  • Unsubscribe rate above 3%

Criteria for Activation

Recommend activating a campaign if:

  • Status is PAUSED or draft
  • Campaign has leads loaded (lead count > 0)
  • Sequences are configured
  • No previous deliverability issues flagged

Review Strategy

  1. List all campaigns regardless of status
  2. Pull analytics for each campaign
  3. Categorize into: performing well, needs attention, should pause, ready to activate
  4. Present findings with specific metrics backing each recommendation
  5. Wait for user confirmation before making any status changes
  6. Execute approved changes and confirm new statuses

Safety Rules

  • NEVER activate a campaign without user confirmation
  • NEVER pause a campaign that the user explicitly says to keep running
  • Always show the data behind each recommendation
  • Group changes by action type (pause vs. activate) for easy review
