How to Manage Automated Campaigns

Automation

Managing automated campaigns in UpBlick means more than turning automation on once. You should regularly review the connected channel, active templates, audience rules, follow-up timing, and campaign results so the workflow stays useful over time.

What to review regularly

• WhatsApp connection status
• Active message templates
• Trigger rules
• Follow-up timing
• Campaign results and delivery performance

Step 1: Check the channel and location setup

Start with the basics. If the selected location or WhatsApp channel is wrong, the rest of the automation can break down.

1. Open Automation > Channels.
2. Select the WhatsApp tab.
3. Confirm the correct location is active.
4. Check that the connected option still shows Connected.

Step 2: Review the active templates

Open Automation > WhatsApp Templates and confirm that the right templates are active for each stage of the automated workflow.

This matters especially when your automated campaign includes multiple messages such as a first send, a reminder, and a follow-up.

Step 3: Review performance and delivery

After the campaign runs, check the reporting to confirm whether customers are actually receiving and engaging with the messages.

1. Open Campaigns > Reports.
2. Review the campaign list summary.
3. Open the detailed report for a deeper breakdown.

Step 4: Adjust timing and follow-ups when needed

If customers are not engaging, or if the sequence feels too aggressive, review the trigger timing and follow-up delays. Small adjustments can make an automated campaign feel much more natural.

Step 5: Clean the customer audience over time

Automation quality depends on customer data quality. Keep the audience useful by reviewing:

• Missing or invalid phone numbers
• Duplicate customer records
• Consent changes
• Customers who should no longer receive the workflow

Best practices

• Review automated campaigns on a regular schedule.
• Update templates when your messaging goal changes.
• Watch for falling delivery or engagement rates.
• Keep follow-up timing realistic and customer-friendly.
• Test important changes before rolling them out widely.
