How to Skip or Exclude a Match from One Campaign

Use a campaign-level skip when a podcast, journalist, or newsletter is wrong for one OmniCampaign but may still be relevant elsewhere.

Skip a match during campaign creation

Use the thumbs-down or skip control on the preview card. PodPitch keeps the match out of the new campaign and records it in the Skipped list as skipped during OmniCampaign creation.

Skip a match in an existing campaign

1. Open Campaigns.
2. Select the campaign.
3. Open the match or outreach record.
4. Choose the available Skip, Ban Selected, or exclusion control.
5. Select the campaign-only option when shown.
6. Confirm the action.

The labels can differ by media type and campaign state.

Give a rating reason

When prompted, choose the reason that best explains the decision, such as:

• wrong topic or industry;
• wrong audience;
• audience too small;
• does not interview guests;
• paid placement required; or
• another specific reason.

Ratings help future matching. A skip removes the current match; a rating explains why.

Restore a campaign-level match

Open the campaign's Skipped, Excluded, or Not Eligible area, find the match, and use the available restore or remove action.

Restoring it makes the match eligible for that campaign again. It does not force PodPitch to send immediately.

When to use Excluded Contacts instead

If an email address should never receive outreach from any campaign, add it under Settings → Team → Excluded Contacts.

Campaign-level skips and team-wide contact exclusions are different controls.
