Edit, pause or delete a campaign

Change a campaign while it runs, stop it for a while, or remove it, from the campaigns overview or the campaign's own page.

A campaign row's actions menu open on Campaigns › Overview, showing View, Edit, Pause and Delete

Edit a campaign#

  1. 1
    Open the edit form
    On Campaigns › Overview, open the campaign's actions menu and click Edit, or click Edit on the campaign's page.
  2. 2
    Make your changes
    Change the name, targets, audience, schedule, attached notifications or re-trigger options. The form is the same as when you created it.
  3. 3
    Save
    Click Save. View performance → takes you back to the campaign's page.

Once a campaign has started, its start is fixed: a geo campaign's end can still move ("Leave the end open to keep it running"), a push campaign's day can't, and the timezone is locked.

An edit to a geo campaign's locations, audience or triggers doesn't reach phones straight away: Bubbl invalidates its cache as soon as you save, but each phone only picks up the change on its next geofence refresh — within 15 minutes, or sooner if it moves. Test a change on your own phone rather than assuming it's live at once.

Pause or resume#

Click Pause in the row's actions menu or on the campaign's page. A paused campaign sends nothing until you click Resume, and its status shows since when it's been paused.

Pause while you make several changesChanges made on a campaign's page, such as adding a location or a notification, are saved one at a time and apply straight away. To change several things on a running campaign without it sending in between, pause it first and resume it when you're done.

Delete a campaign#

  1. 1
    Choose Delete
    Open the campaign's actions menu (on the overview or its page) and click Delete.
  2. 2
    Confirm with its name
    Type the campaign's name to confirm and click Delete. It stops running and is removed from your campaigns.

Deleting a campaign doesn't delete its locations or notifications: they stay in your libraries for other campaigns. Deletion can't be undone from the dashboard, and there's no Bubbl support path to bring a deleted campaign back, so check its name carefully before confirming.

No duplicate buttonThe dashboard has no Duplicate action. To run a campaign again, create a new one and attach the same locations and notifications; they're reusable.
