If you want to cancel the auto follow-ups for a campaign to prevent them from sending, there are three methods for doing so, plus an emergency stop method to stop all auto follow-ups from sending for all campaigns.
Sometimes users are confused because they’ve cancelled a campaign, but the auto follow-ups for that campaign still send. That is because canceling a campaign does not also cancel the auto follow-ups for emails already sent. For example, if you’ve scheduled a campaign to send 1,000 emails at 200 emails/day, and the campaign has auto follow-up emails set, and after 2 days, the campaign is canceled, that means only 400 emails have been sent, and now the remaining 600 won’t receive the email. However, those 400 that have already received the campaign will still get the auto follow-ups for that campaign unless the auto follow-ups are explicitly cancelled.
There are three ways to cancel auto follow-ups.
Method 1: Use the dashboard to cancel auto follow-ups
Find the campaign in your dashboard by logging in at gmass.co/dashboard. Hit the red X button to the right of the campaign and then choose the option in the popup to cancel auto follow-ups.
Method 2: Find the campaign’s DRAFT inside Gmail
If you have an active mail merge campaign with auto follow-ups, and you want to cancel its auto follow-up emails, this is how you do it.
- Find the campaign under the GMass Auto Follow-ups Label.
- Click the GMass Settings arrow to open up the Settings panel.
- Click the Clear all auto follow-ups button. This will uncheck all of the Auto Follow-up Stages.
- Click the main GMass button to save your changes.
If you can’t find the Draft under the GMass Auto Follow-ups Label, then you may have accidentally deleted it. In that case, try recovering the deleted Gmail Draft first.
Method 3: Use the campaign ID and send it to GMass for cancellation of auto follow-ups
If for some reason, you’re unable to find your campaign’s DRAFT, you can also cancel auto follow-up emails just with the campaign’s ID. Make sure you know the right campaign ID. The right campaign ID is the ID of the campaign that is part of the “original” campaign, not any of your follow-up stages. Each follow-up stage gets assigns its own campaign ID, so that you can track both the statistics of individual follow-up stages but also the campaign overall. If you put in the campaign ID of a follow-up stage, that will NOT stop auto follow-ups for the overall campaign. You want the campaign ID of the original campaign that contains the follow-up stages.
- Click Compose to launch a new window.
- Set the To field to stopaf@gmass.co.
- Set the Subject to the Campaign ID whose auto follow-ups you want to stop.
- Click the GMass button. Do not hit the Send button.
Emergency stop: Cancel ALL auto follow-up emails for your account
If you feel like you have lost control of your auto follow-up emails, you can apply an emergency stop to all of your auto follow-ups.
- Click Compose to launch a new window.
- Set the To field to stopaf@gmass.co.
- Set the Subject to the ALL.
- Click the GMass button. Do not hit the Send button.
How to edit, but not cancel, auto follow-up emails
To make changes to the auto follow-up settings for a campaign, you must find the campaign’s Draft, just like in method 2. Then you can edit your auto follow-up settings, including the number of Days for each Stage, the content of the auto follow-up message, or any other aspect of the campaign’s settings.
You may also wish to stop auto follow-ups from sending to just certain email addresses, because you’re already in conversation with them.
Ajay is the founder of GMass and has been developing email sending software for 20 years.
I’ve been trying to cancel the auto follow ups i set for days now.
I did step one above, but i can’t find the gmass icon below to do step 2.
Please help

Hi I m getting error while trying too sen through Gmass . Please can you help me on this
Please contact our support team at https://www.gmass.co/blog/how-to-get-support-from-the-gmass-team/
How come when I try to cancel all my follow ups using the stopaf@gmass.co command, I get a reply saying
“Your message wasn’t delivered to stopaf@gmass.co because the address couldn’t be found, or is unable to receive mail.”
I just want to cancel my follow ups because I’ve already been disabled for 24 hours just for sending a campaign to a measly 50 people.
Hi Daniel,
Please make sure to click the red GMass button instead of the regular send button. The bounce notification you received is due to an actual email being sent, however, when you use any @gmass.co address with the red GMass button, no actual emails are sent but issues a command which is in this case to stop all auto follow-ups.

Account $ 12 per month, how many gmail every day
The sending limit is something that is enforced by Gmail, not by GMass. According to Google, regular Gmail accounts are officially limited to 500 emails/day, while G Suite accounts are limited to 2,000. But other factors like the age of the account, content of the Campaign, or reputation of the domain can affect your sending limit.
There’s some more information about these limits here:
https://www.gmass.co/blog/how-many-emails-can-you-really-send-with-gmass-and-gmail/
You can configure your account with an external SMTP server if you’d like to send unlimited emails without Gmail-imposed sending limits. See: https://www.gmass.co/blog/unlimited-mail-merge-sending-gmail/ ( https://www.gmass.co/blog/unlimited-mail-merge-sending-gmail/ )

Hi Arvind,
Please use the GMass button instead of the send button to stop all follow-ups. Upon checking, your campaigns are not follow-ups as these are individual campaigns. You would need to cancel each of the campaigns you wish to stop sending by following the directions found here: https://www.gmass.co/blog/how-to-cancel-a-scheduled-mail-merge-campaign-and-stop-it-from-sending/
pls resolve this issue as soon as possible. it will be damage my potential client network…………..
Will the auto follow up stop if I delete the draft in the draft file?
Hi Yogesh,
No it will not. You would need to clear auto follow-ups in the GMass settings as seen in the image above in Section 1 of this article.
After restoring a campaign (already sent out) and follow up emails edited..
How to save the follow up emails in HTML? It’s saved on the Gmass Auto FollowUp folder but whenever I’m opening the draft, the old follow up content will still be there.
If I’m going to hit on the GMass button, will it be sent to the specific group of people again?
Hi Abigail,
No it won’t send the same email twice to the same recipient.
You’ll need to create a draft first then select custom message in your auto follow-up section in your GMass settings. Please see https://www.gmass.co/blog/how-to-create-custom-html-content-for-an-automatic-follow-up-email-sequence/ for more details.
It says “Address not found” when i sent manually to stopaf@gmass.co
Hi Nash,
Please make sure to click the GMass button. You’re receiving that bounce notification because you’ve inadvertently clicked the regular send button.
how do I get an excel or similar list of bounced or opened emails – so I can purge them from my list and or send a followup to any that has opened my message?
Hi Larry,
You should receive campaign reports automatically. These reports include links to download bounces, unsubscribes, blocks and opens. You can read more details about campaign reports here: https://www.gmass.co/blog/gmail-mail-merge-reports-and-analytics/
Hi
I’m not receiving anything in my Open reports.
Is there an obvious solution?
what if send same follow up to a person already received those emails earlier. Will GMass skip that user? or will he get duplicate emails?
Hi Lewis,
They will be skipped as GMass will not send duplicate emails to the same recipient for the same campaign.
if you asked any query about email please visit techtoreview and read all about email related. you can also read upcoming smart gadgets from Tech to Review.
Hi,
How do we add auto-follow-up for an email that has already been sent?
Hi Lea,
You can create a follow-up to an already sent campaign by following the instructions found here: https://www.gmass.co/blog/new-feature-send-follow-up-mail-merge-campaigns-in-gmail/
Hi Lea,
Please see https://www.gmass.co/blog/new-feature-send-follow-up-mail-merge-campaigns-in-gmail/
Is there a way to change the subject line of Auto Follow up? Like sending a totally different message when the contact does not reply?
Marvin can you answer this please
Hi Scott,
Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. The reason is when auto follow-ups are sent, they are sent as replies to the original thread UNLESS it’s set up with the condition/criteria “ALL”.
Since all auto follow-ups based on replies and opens (or no reply or no opens) are sent as replies to the initial email sent, it will always use that initial email’s subject line.
Hello. I want to create a campaign and have automated follow up emails for every email in the campaign. I see where I can create a campaign but I can actually save the campaign as a dropdown. Please provide guidance. Best

A few days ago I send a cancellation email for campaign followups.
Now I want to activate the campaign again and send it to new people with the same followups. I want to verify that it won’t keep sending the followup to the old ones(before the cancellation email).
Does the cancellation email mean that all the followups drafts were erased? can I verify it myself in followups label?
Hi Mor,
If the campaign and its follow-ups have been canceled, the drafts would no longer be available in your GMass Scheduled (for the initial outreach) and in your GMass Auto Follow-ups label (for your follow-ups).
Moreover, if the campaign has been canceled, you can no longer restart it. You would need to start a new campaign and set the auto follow-ups again. We’ve also answered your ticket directly regarding your question in more detail. Kindly check your email.
Hi – I am running a campaign right now over the next week or two with auto follow ups setup. Campaign is configured to send auto follow up to anyone who hasn’t clicked a link. I have a few people who just replied to my e-mail without clicking on a link. How do I remove those few people from the auto follow up sequence?
Hi Roman,
Please see https://www.gmass.co/blog/new-feature-you-can-now-remove-someone-from-an-auto-follow-up-sequence/
tengo gmass standard desde el 25/9/2019 y quisiera saber hasta cuantos correos puedo mandar al dia,muchas gracias
Hi Jose,
Please see https://www.gmass.co/blog/how-many-emails-can-you-really-send-with-gmass-and-gmail/
I started using GMass today, sent the first 20 emails.
Reporting looks great.
Hi Ashfak,
Thank you. You are also welcome to send us recommendations and suggestions.
stopaf@gmass.co. does not send, NEED TO STOP AUTO FOLLOW UP IMMEDIATELY
Hi B,
Please make sure that you’re clicking the red GMass button. Please note that addresses ending in @gmass.co isn’t an actual email so no emails are actually sent. These addresses are commands that is issued to GMass when used with the red GMass button.
yes, did all that, it still sending out emails with incorrect information, cancelling this rubbish service ASAP!
I’ve canceled my auto-follow ups and “Save[d] Changes”. I am skeptical of hitting the GMASS button because I don’t want to send the emails out again. Since “Save changes” isn’t in this instruction, I am curious if it’s necessary to hit that GMASS button or if this new feature does the trick
Hello
I’ve connected with the people I wanted to connect with, but GMAS is still messaging everyone else, and they are getting annoyed (especially since we’ve already connected!) How do I tell GMAS to “NOT” email specific names, even though they are in the campaign spreadsheet. I have tried to delete them out of the campaign spreadsheet, but GMAS continues.
Am I supposed to STOP the campaign, Delete the emails, then restart? Won’t that re-send emails to those that already received emails?
Hey
Auto Follow up emails are still going through despite following these instructions.

Hi Gmass Team – how do I unsubscribe certain users from receiving any future emails? I deal with huge lists all the time and it’s hard to catch duplicates. I just want to make sure that I respect the people don’t ever want to hear from my again.
Thanks
Hi Boris,
Once a recipient unsubscribes, their email address is added to your unsubscribes list. What GMass does before any campaign is sent is to compare recipient email addresses to your unsubscribes list and removes those that has a match. So as long as those who wish to unsubscribes uses your unsubscribe link, it’s guaranteed they will no longer receive campaign emails sent using the GMass button.
However, keep in mind that you are still able to send those people who have unsubscribed emails using the regular Gmail send button.
Also, please note that when a recipient replies with something like “unsubscribe me” or “stop”, this is not detected by GMass as an unsubscribe so these types of request must be manually added to your unsubscribes list instead: https://www.gmass.co/blog/new-gmail-mail-merge-feature-manually-import-or-remove-unsubscribe-addresses/
I want to edit the subject and message of my ‘auto follow up template’. Also, delete another one.
I am trying to follow Method 2/Step 2 mentioned here. After I have clicked on GMass Auto Follow-ups Label, when I click on /select the campaign (i.e the Draft as shown in the image in Method 2) the draft box is not opening. I can’t move on to the next step that is clicking on the GMass Settings arrow, because of this.
How do I delete or edit the auto follow up template while this is the case?
Help me to sign back in my user profile in as D Gameboyperry,Thank you help supporters?✔
it’s a great idea of warming up gmails but it looks like it doesn’t increase 2 mails per day and stopped at 14 mails per day because my warm-up stats show 14 inbox for last 3 days in a row… something is not ok I guess.
now it’s 4 days in a row only 14 mails per day :/ no increase
Hi,
I’m sending an auto followup sequences (6 stages has been setup). However, I think I need to edit the Content set in auto-followup stage 4. Could you please inform how to do it?
I failed to locate any support article or solution. Please help
Hi Ashique,
You would need to create a new template for your Stage 4 (the same way you created the current one). Then go into your GMass Auto Followups label and open the draft for your campaign. In the GMass settings under the auto follow-up section, you’d just need to select the newly created template from the dropdown for Stage 4 and save your changes.
Can you remove a single follow up email from follow ups without canceling all the follow ups?
Hi Sandeep,
Yes, please see https://www.gmass.co/blog/new-feature-you-can-now-remove-someone-from-an-auto-follow-up-sequence/
