Statuses


Once a campaign is created, it can be saved in the Draft status for additional editing,  or you can Start the campaign.
After the start, the campaign will be passed to a moderation mode. During the moderation process, your campaign is not editable, and it's not possible to cancel it. Moderation is a manual process and can take from 20 minutes up to a few hours (in some cases up to 24 hours). After that, your campaign can be approved or rejected (you will find the status in your 'Campaigns' section).
You can stop the campaign anytime you need. In this case, the status will be changed to 'Stopped.'
If the campaign meets its daily limit, it will be paused and start working again automatically the next day. If the campaign meets its total limit, it will be stopped with the notification 'Out of total budget.' It will be stopped as well if the campaign hits the end date.
