Pause campaign
How Leo pauses an active campaign that is producing zero outcomes or risking your sender reputation.
How Leo pauses an active campaign that is producing zero outcomes or risking your sender reputation.
A campaign producing zero replies and zero clicks after 500+ sends, or one bouncing >8% / drawing >0.3% spam complaints, is actively damaging your sending reputation.
Leo (ACT-005) pauses these campaigns automatically so you can investigate before more damage is done. The pause reason is logged so you can see exactly why it fired.
How fast does Leo pause?
For zero-outcomes: after ≥500 sends and ≥48h of campaign age. For high bounce/complaint: as soon as the threshold is breached on the latest 200-send rolling window.
Will Leo resume automatically?
Yes — ACT-006 (resume_campaign) handles that, but only after a 24h cool-down and once the workspace bounce/complaint metrics have returned to healthy levels.
Can I resume manually?
Yes, from the campaign card → "Resume". Leo will not re-pause unless the conditions reappear, and a 48h ping-pong floor protects against bouncing back and forth.

About AutoEmails and Leo
AutoEmails is an AI email marketing platform built around Leo, an autonomous AI email marketing agent. Leo analyses your business, finds the right audience, writes and designs emails, launches campaigns and reports on replies, meetings, orders and revenue.
The platform covers three engines in one account: Outreach, which finds new companies or decision makers and emails them with personalised plain-text messages and follow-ups; Marketing, which sends designed HTML newsletters and campaigns to your own contacts; and Automations, which run triggered email journeys such as welcome series, abandoned cart recovery and re-engagement.
Leo works autonomously within guardrails. It can suggest and launch campaigns, resend to non-openers, expand targeting when a lead scan falls short and pause sending when deliverability signals such as bounce or spam-complaint rates rise. Every action is logged with an evidence trail so you can see what Leo did and why.
AutoEmails connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Calendly, Google Analytics, Google Search Console and custom e-commerce stores, so campaigns can be measured on real outcomes: replies and booked meetings for lead generation, and orders and revenue for e-commerce.
Pricing is capacity-based in British pounds, starting with a free plan. You can start free at autoemails.com without a credit card, let Leo scan your business and review the first campaign before anything is sent.
