## **Email Campaign Statuses**

Email Campaigns are one-time or recurring email sends you can create and manage manually.  
Each campaign displays a **Status** to reflect where it is in the creation or delivery process.

| **St****atus** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Draft** | The campaign is being created or edited and hasn’t been sent yet. You can continue to modify content or settings before scheduling. |
| **Sent** | The campaign has been successfully delivered to recipients. You can view performance metrics under Statistics. |
| **Failed** | The campaign couldn’t be sent due to an error (e.g., invalid sender email, configuration issues). Review the campaign setup before retrying. |
| **Archived** | The campaign has been manually archived to remove it from the active view without deleting it. You can restore it anytime. |
| **All** | Displays every campaign, regardless of its current status. |
