Cancel SMS Campaign

The Cancel Campaign feature on the Kaleyra.io platform enables you to stop and avoid any further sending for a campaign that is in the processing state and hence being processed.

You may need to stop an ongoing SMS Campaign due to many reasons:

For example, a marketing oversight you want to correct before relaunching your campaign, such as a spelling error, incorrect date, outdated information, and many more.

Using this feature, you can:

• Reduce the impact of human error by preventing your entire campaign target from receiving the wrong message.
• Only cancel the campaigns that are in the Processing state.

Prerequisite:

• Ensure you have a sufficient balance left (prepaid user) or enough monthly usage available (postpaid user) to launch your SMS campaign.
• You need to Launch the SMS Campaign. For more information, see the Launch an SMS Campaign page.

Note:

• Please note that a portion of your target may receive the messages even when you decide to cancel an ongoing campaign: even after you cancel a campaign, messages that are already in the processing queue will be sent to the end-users; all other messages of the campaign still to be added to the processing queue, will not be sent.

To enable the Cancel Campaign functionality, perform the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Kaleyra.io account.
2. On the Campaigns page, click SMS.
