Why Did My Campaign Stop Adding New Leads?

I forgot to turn on the "Continuously add new leads" toggle

This toggle is off by default when you create a campaign. If you didn't enable it at launch, the campaign contacts the leads it was given once — and stops.

How to fix it:

1. Open your campaign

2. Click Edit

3. Scroll to the Lead Source section

4. Enable the "Continuously add new leads" toggle

5. Click Save

✅ AiSDR will now search for new matching leads on an ongoing basis and add them to your campaign automatically.

💡 Good to know: This toggle only works when the campaign is Active. If your campaign is in Draft, enable the toggle and launch the campaign — new leads will start flowing once it's live.

I see a message saying the search was paused for 3 days

This is expected behavior, not a bug. When AiSDR has searched through the available database and temporarily can't find new leads that match your filters, it shows this notification:

"The continuous search has no new results and will be paused for 3 days. Please update search filters to start a new search sooner."

The search resumes automatically after 3 days. You don't need to do anything — but if you want to restart it sooner:

How to restart the search early (ONLY if it's too narrow and didn't get results after 5 days):

1. Open your campaign → Add leads

2. Go to the Live AI Filters section

3. Make a small adjustment to any filter (e.g., add one more job title, slightly expand the geography, or remove one filter)

4. Search new leads (check the percentage)

5. Select "Continuously add new"

6. Add new leads to the campaign.

✅ The change signals a fresh search, and AiSDR will start pulling new leads again immediately

My filters are too narrow and there aren't enough leads to find

If your campaign has been running for a while but the lead count is low and growth is slow, the search might be exhausting your audience faster than expected. Very specific filter combinations — like a narrow revenue range, a specific technology stack, and a tight geography — can reduce your addressable pool to a few hundred leads total.

How to diagnose it:

1. Open your campaign

2. Go to the Live AI Filters section

3. Check the match rate % shown next to each filter — a filter at 5–20% match rate is significantly limiting your pool

How to fix it:

1. Click "Add leads"

2. Remove or broaden the filter with the lowest match rate first

3. If you're using a Revenue filter, try removing it — revenue data is often incomplete and cuts out valid prospects

4. If you're using specific Technology filters, consider whether they're truly required or just nice-to-have

5. Test new search (check the percentage)

6. Select "Continuously add new"

7. Add new leads to the campaign.

✅ Your addressable pool will expand and the continuous search will find new leads again.

📄 How to Improve Your Lead Search Results

My campaign is still in Draft — I never launched it

Continuous search only runs on Active campaigns. If your campaign is in Draft status, it won't add leads regardless of your toggle settings. This is the most common cause for new campaigns.

How to fix it:

1. Open your campaign

2. Confirm the campaign settings look correct

3. Check if you turn on the "Continuously add new leads" toggle

4. Click Start to move it from Draft to Active status

✅ Once the campaign is Active, the continuous search will start running and leads will begin appearing in your campaign.
