Why are certain recipients being removed or excluded from campaigns? Why did I receive a test campaign but not the actual campaign?

Sometimes contacts can be accidentally removed from campaigns prior to sending due to the steps that are taken to add and remove groups from the campaign.

Here is an example scenario:

1. Email address sample@abc.com is included in a group called "Approval"
2. The "Approval" group is selected and added to the campaign
3. A test campaign is sent
4. Additional groups are added to the campaign
5. The "Approval" group is deselected
6. The actual campaign is sent

In this example during step #5, when the "Approval" group is removed from the campaign, so are all of the contacts included within the "Approval" group, including sample@abc.com (even if sample@abc.com was also stored in another group that was included in the campaign in step #4).

To prevent this from happening:

• If all the contacts included in the "Approval" group should receive the final campaign, skip step #5 and simply keep all groups included on the campaign for the final send
  or
• If all the contacts included in the "Approval" group should not receive the final campaign, start step #4 by clicking "Remove All" to remove all groups and contacts before you select the final groups to receive the campaign
