An automation can have different states depending on your current setting in the automation. When entering the Automation overview, you can choose which list you want to look at, Active, Finishing, Draft, or Archived.
Definitions of the different states
Active
In an active automation, contacts can continuously enter and pass-through different activities depending on set criteria, time delays, splits, and triggers you have defined.
Finishing
Finishing means a deactivated automation where no new contacts can enter. However, the contacts that already have entered before deactivation, will be allowed to finish the automation.
Draft
This is the starting point for a new automation that has not yet been set to active. In this state, you can iterate several times in your automation, while figuring out the best way to communicate with your contacts in your workflow.
Archived
This automation has been terminated and archived. No new contacts will be allowed to enter or finish the automation.
Sort your list of workflows
You can easily search for a specific workflow or sort them by name, creation date, or by category.
