Auto-paused campaigns
Why a campaign shows Auto-paused, what happens to its queued emails, and how reconnecting the mailbox resumes it without touching campaigns you paused.

A campaign shows Auto-paused when Signalsant paused it for you because its mailbox can no longer send. This happens when Google or Microsoft revokes Signalsant's access, for example after a password change.
What you'll see
- Auto-paused in the campaign list, with "Paused automatically: email access revoked" and a Reconnect link.
- A banner on the campaign: "Paused automatically: email access revoked. Queued emails stay queued. Reconnect the mailbox to resume sending."
- On the Email tab: "Paused automatically: email access revoked."
What happens to your emails
- Nothing is sent from that mailbox.
- Emails already planned stay planned. They aren't marked as failed or lost.
- An email that was being sent at that moment goes back to waiting.
Resume it
- Click Reconnect the mailbox in the banner, or Reconnect in the campaign list. It takes you to the mailbox.
- Sign in with the same mailbox and approve access.
Every campaign that was auto-paused for that mailbox resumes on its own. You'll see "Reconnected. N campaign(s) resumed." Campaigns that someone paused by hand stay paused.
Full steps: Reconnect a mailbox.
Use another mailbox instead
If you can't reconnect, choose a different Mailbox under Email → Settings → Send from, save, and then Start the campaign.
You can't start a campaign while its mailbox still shows Access revoked.
Troubleshooting
- "Access to this mailbox was revoked. Reconnect to continue.": you tried to start the campaign before reconnecting.
- No alert arrived: Signalsant doesn't send a notification when a campaign is auto-paused. Check the campaign list for the badge.
