Stop Campaign

Stop (cancel) a campaign permanently. Use this to terminate a running, paused, or scheduled campaign.

Stopping a campaign marks all remaining pending contacts as cancelled. Use pause if you plan to resume later.

Path Parameters

campaign_id (integer, required): The unique identifier of the campaign

Behavior

When you stop a campaign:

Campaign status changes to cancelled
In-progress calls may complete (provider-dependent)
Pending contacts are marked as cancelled
Completion timestamp is recorded
Campaign cannot be resumed (use re-execute for new run)

Valid Starting Statuses

You can stop campaigns that are:

running - Currently executing
paused - Temporarily paused
scheduled - Waiting to start

Response

{
  "message": "Campaign stopped successfully"
}
