✅ Smart Mode (Automated Follow-Ups)
When your campaign is set to Smart, PodPitch will automatically:
Send follow-up emails based on the delay you set (eg, 3 days, 7 days, etc.)
Stop follow-ups immediately if the podcast host replies
Respect sending limits and business-day settings
Pause follow-ups if your email disconnects or has OAuth/authentication issues
You do NOT need to manually trigger follow-up sends.
As long as Smart Mode is active and your email is connected, PodPitch handles everything.
✋ Manual Mode (Follow-Ups Must Be Sent Manually)
In Manual Mode, PodPitch will not send follow-ups automatically.
You must:
Open each follow-up email
Review or edit if needed
Click Send or Send Later
This mode is best if you prefer full control or hyper-personalized outreach.
🔍 Why Follow-Ups May Not Be Sending
If you expect follow-ups to send but don’t see them going out, check these common causes:
❗ OAuth / email authentication expired
❗ Campaign status = Off / Paused
❗ Follow-up templates are missing or empty
❗ Daily sending limits reached
❗ Start time is set for a later date/time
❗ Weekend sending disabled
Fixing these will resume automatic follow-ups.
💡 Pro Tip
Follow-ups only send if the host has not replied.
Once a reply comes in — even “Not interested” — the sequence stops to avoid spamming them.
