***

### 🔄 2. Activate / Deactivate an Automation Campaign

2. Choose **Deactivate automation campaign** or **Activate automation campaign** (depending on its current state).
3. The campaign will immediately pause or resume triggering.

***

### 📄 Duplicating an Automation Campaign

Cloning is ideal for testing variations or launching similar campaigns:

1. Open the ⋮ overflow menu on the automation campaigns list.
2. Select **Duplicate automation campaign**.
3. You'll be redirected to the editor with a new inactive copy.
4. Update details (e.g., timing, audience) and click **Add automation campaign**.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the copies of the configuration are disabled. Remember to enable the automation campaigns!
{% endhint %}

***

### 🗂️ Exporting & Importing Automation Campaigns

* Bulk export campaigns to a `.json` file via **Bulk Actions → Selecting the automation campaigns  → Download to .JSON file**.
* Re-import via **Add automation campaign → Import automation campaigns**.

***

### 🔄 Migrating Across Tenants

To migrate campaigns:

* Click on **Bulk Actions** and select the automation campaigns you want to copy
* Click on **Copy to different tenant**, select the destination, and complete the import.
* The system guides you through any conflicts as you proceed.

You will be redirected to the target tenant you chose.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the configuration of the automation campaign is migrated.&#x20;

The history of the automation campaign, along with previously issued units or rewards, is not migrated.
{% endhint %}

***

### 🗑️ Deleting an Automation Campaign

1. In the campaign list, use the **⋮ menu → Delete automation campaign** option.
2. Confirm the deletion; the campaign is removed from the tenant you are working on.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleting a campaign removes it from the UI but **does not delete any reward or engagement data** generated by that campaign. These remain in analytics and member records.
{% endhint %}

## ✅ Additional Notes

* **Deactivate** before editing large changes to avoid unintended triggers.
* **Duplicate** to create campaign variations for A/B testing across segments or timings.
* Archive functionality is not currently supported - **deleted** campaigns are permanently removed.
