Clicking 'Seed Addresses' brings up a pop up again showing the seeds.  

In here you can do four things:

  • Add new seeds unique to this campaign.
  • Delete a seed that has been added uniquely to this campaign.
  • Disable some default seeds if for some reason your system defaults are not appropriate.
  • Enable some default seeds if after disabling them you want to re-include again.

When the campaign is initiated it will also send to whomever is in the seed list.

Please Note: The seed functionality will not send for re-sends,campaign series, or other triggered sends.
