⏱️ Do Follow-Ups Send Automatically or Manually in PodPitch?

✅ 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.
