Email paused or not sent to all contacts during dispatch. |
By default, if anything happens during dispatch and all recipients cannot be processed, the message is moved to the Paused state and the campaign can be retried - meaning that EXM will process the recipients that have not already received the email message. You can extract the data of who the campaign has not been sent to by looking at the DispatchQueue table of the exm database. Query by message id to see a list of all the contacts who have not received the email message. There is no out-of-the-box functionality to automatically resume paused dispatches; however, see the "Automatically resuming paused email campaigns" blog post for an explanation of how to create a customization. |
