Campaigns are a great way to stay engaged with your contacts and sphere. You can add contacts to a campaign in two ways:

• Adding them individually to the campaign
• By adding them to a group that's on the campaign

 Adding a contact to a group will automatically add that contact to any campaigns associated with that group. Click here to learn how you can automate this.

Good to know:

• You can only add a contact to a created and saved campaign.
• If a campaign is not Active, your contacts will not receive anything until you activate the campaign.
• The Monthly Newsletter Campaign is already created and active. All you need to do is add groups or contacts and you're all set!
• If you add a contact to an interval campaign, they will start at step 1. If you add a contact to a date campaign that has already started, they will start on the date of the next step (will not receive the full campaign).
• You can only remove a contact in the way they were added. If you added them directly to the campaign, you will remove them from the campaign; if you added them via a group, you'll need to remove them from the group in order to remove them from the campaign.
