RSS campaigns are designed to send updates automatically whenever new content is available. However, there are instances where an RSS campaign may stop sending automatically. Restarting your RSS campaign is essential to ensure that your audience continues to receive content as intended. This article will guide you through the process to effectively restart an RSS campaign in ActiveCampaign.

=== Introduction ===

An '''RSS Campaign''' in ActiveCampaign is a powerful tool that allows businesses to send automated emails based on updates from an RSS feed. This automation ensures that subscribers receive timely notifications whenever new content is posted. However, circumstances may arise where your RSS campaign ceases to send updates. Understanding how to restart your RSS campaign is crucial in maintaining consistent communication with your audience.

=== How to Access this Feature ===

To restart an RSS campaign, you will need to access the '''Campaigns''' overview page within your ActiveCampaign account. Make sure you are logged in to view all your campaigns, including those that are stopped. 

=== Step-by-step Instructions ===

Follow these comprehensive steps to restart a stopped RSS campaign:

# Navigate to the '''Campaigns''' overview page in your ActiveCampaign account.
# Locate the RSS campaign that has stopped sending. This will typically be indicated within your list of campaigns.
# Click the '''Edit''' button situated to the right of the stopped campaign.
# You will now be on the '''Campaign Summary''' page, where you have two options:
   ## To send the campaign immediately, click the '''Send Now''' button located at the top right corner.
   ## If you prefer to schedule the campaign for a later date:
   * In the '''Schedule''' section, click the '''Schedule''' button.
   * Set the desired date and time you want the campaign to be sent.
   * Once you’ve set the date and time, the button in the upper right will change to '''Finish'''. Click the '''Finish''' button to confirm the schedule.

By following these steps, your RSS campaign will be restarted, allowing you to continue communicating with your subscribers without interruption.

=== Configuration Options and Settings ===

When restarting your RSS campaign, you will encounter several key configuration options:

* '''Send Now''': Use this option to send the campaign immediately without scheduling.
* '''Schedule''': Allows you to pick a specific date and time for your campaign to be sent.

Additionally, make sure to verify that the RSS feed you are using is active and correctly set up to ensure that it provides updates as expected.

=== Best Practices and Tips ===

To maximize the effectiveness of your RSS campaigns, consider these best practices:

* **Monitor your RSS feed regularly**: Ensure that your feeds are producing content as expected, as an inactive feed will prevent your campaign from delivering updates.
* **Test your campaign**: Before scheduling or sending your RSS campaign, preview and test it to confirm that the emails appear correctly and the links work.
* **Maintain consistent content updates**: Regularly update your RSS feed to keep your subscribers engaged and informed.
* **Analyze campaign performance**: After your RSS campaign is sent, review performance metrics to assess open rates and engagement, allowing for fine-tuning of future campaigns.

=== Troubleshooting ===

If you experience issues with your RSS campaign not sending, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

* Check if the RSS feed is active and updates are being made to it.
* Ensure that your ActiveCampaign account is in good standing and that you have not reached your sending limits for the month.
* Review any error messages or alerts provided in the '''Campaigns''' overview to identify potential issues.
