Overview
In La Growth Machine, a campaign is almost never considered “finished” in the traditional sense. Let’s break down why — and how to tell whether there’s still something happening behind the scenes.
Key benefits
Clear understanding of the campaign lifecycle
Better control over campaign statuses
Smarter decisions about when to pause or stop
Campaign status explained
A campaign can have several statuses:
Running
Paused
Stopped
You may have noticed there’s no “Finished” status. That’s intentional.
Why there is no “Finished” status
A campaign is never truly finished because a prospect can reply:
the next day
a week later
a month later
or even a year later
As long as the campaign is marked as Running, La Growth Machine keeps listening for replies and checking inboxes.
Even if there are no upcoming actions, the campaign stays active until 100% of prospects have replied.
If you want to truly end a campaign, you need to take action yourself.
Paused vs Stopped: a critical difference
Paused: reversible. You can resume the campaign at any time.
Stopped: irreversible. All upcoming actions are deleted, and the campaign can never be restarted.
Important: When in doubt, always choose Paused. Use Stopped only if you’re absolutely sure the campaign should never run again.
Are there any actions left to run?
The fastest way to know if your campaign still has work to do is to open the campaign and check the Logs section.
Checking upcoming actions
Inside Logs, look at Upcoming actions.
This is where you can see:
emails waiting to be sent
LinkedIn messages scheduled
or any other planned actions
If there are no upcoming actions, it means:
all prospects have completed the sequence
no further actions are scheduled automatically
At that point, the campaign may feel finished — even though it technically remains Running, simply waiting for potential late replies.
