All contacts will complete their current step, and the edit will affect new contacts who enter the automation and will not affect current contacts in their step.
Automation Status
The automation can have one of the following statuses:
Drafted
The automation can have this status on the first creation. While the automation is in Draft status, you can Delete it or set it to Live.
Pending
If you have any WhatsApp templates selected with a pending status, the automation will stay in a pending state until the templates are approved. Once your selected templates are approved, the system will activate the automation and make it live. Additionally, you will receive a notification email.
Live
When the automation is live, that means any contacts who met the Trigger conditions will start the automation. While the automation is live, you can Pause or Deactivate it anytime.
🔴 Warning
Pausing the automation will keep active contacts at their current step, and they will proceed with the automation whenever you decide to resume it. While deactivating the automation will mark the active contacts as exited the automation.
Paused
While the automation is paused, you can Resume or Deactivate it anytime.
💡Tip
Whenever you need to resume the automation, you can resume your automation to contacts inside the automation and contacts joined in the pausing period.
Deactivated
When the automation is deactivated, you can only Resume the automation once again.
⚡ Attention
When the automation is resumed after deactivating, it will only start for new joining contacts, and the automation data will be cleared for the previous contacts.
