2. What is a recipient? How many recipients can I add to my campaign?
Recipient is a prospect who was added to an email campaign.
Your pricing plan determines how many prospects you can add to a campaign.
On your account balance, there’s a Unique recipients quota which means the number of prospects you can add to a campaign within a month (or billing period).
The first email you send to a recipient in a given month costs 1 point – all follow-up emails are free until the end of the billing period.
3. My campaign is Active but no emails are being sent. Is there something wrong?
Active means that your campaign was launched and is ready to start sending with a few exceptions: schedule and its timezone settings doesn’t allow it to start, you’ve reached your daily sending limit, your email account has connection issues.

4. Can I change a sender account midway through a campaign? Can I update a linked mailbox in a campaign?
Yes, you can edit a campaign after it was activated and switch to another sending email account.
Switching email accounts midway through will not allow us to track responses to emails sent by the previous sender.

As you add new prospects to a list associated with an active campaign, they will automatically enter a campaign and start the sequence from step one.
