Review your campaign reports to see if messages are queued, sending, or failed. Wait 15-30 minutes for potential delays.

Verify API credentials and limits
For API users: ensure your API key is valid and you haven't exceeded rate limits or account quotas.
- 3
Test with different campaigns
Try creating and sending a test campaign to a small list to isolate if the issue is campaign-specific or platform-wide.

Review audience and list settings
Verify your audience settings, segment conditions, and merge tags are correctly configured.

Implement retry logic for API
For API integrations, use exponential backoff and retry failed requests during temporary outages.
