OutcomeThe exact audience a campaign was sent to gets frozen into a static list at send time, so later reporting shows who actually received it, not who happens to match the active list's filters today.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use before any send built off an active list, since active lists keep re-evaluating membership and will not match the send-time audience once contacts' properties change afterward.
  • Use when a campaign report or an audit needs to answer "who exactly got this" weeks or months later.

Skip it

  • Do not use for sends already built on a static list. A static list is already a fixed snapshot; there is nothing to freeze.
  • Do not use this as a substitute for the Campaigns tool's own send reporting. This fiche adds a portable, filterable record; it does not replace native campaign analytics.
