### Campaign Status A campaign can be in different status depending on campaign state. Campaign status depicts the state of a campaign. A campaign can be created (**idle**) or can be saved incomplete (**draft**). After the campaign creation, a campaign can be started (**started**), and then either paused (**paused**) or run until it's finished (**finished**).

{% hint style="info" %} Keep in mind that an incomplete/**draft** campaign (a campaign with not all required data set) cannot start/run. You will first need to edit the campaign and complete all steps before running it. {% endhint %} On the table below you can find the different campaign statuses/states and what each mean. | Campaign Status | Explanation | | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **idle** | A new campaign that has been created and saved. | | **draft** |
