Deleting a Cadence

What happens when you delete a cadence and how it affects campaigns.

1 min read 6 sections 5 tags

Deleting a cadence follows a safe two-step process: soft-delete (moves to Trash) and permanent delete.

Soft Delete (Move to Trash)

  • The cadence is hidden from the main list but can be restored.
  • If the cadence is used by RUNNING or PAUSED campaigns, deletion is blocked. You must stop those campaigns first.
  • DRAFT and SCHEDULED campaigns referencing this cadence are automatically archived.

Permanent Delete

  • Only soft-deleted cadences can be permanently deleted.
  • Use the 'Preview Deletion Impact' feature to see what will be affected before proceeding.
  • Permanent deletion removes the cadence and all its versions. This cannot be undone.
  • Completed campaigns that used this cadence retain their analytics — the cadence reference becomes null.
Warning

You cannot delete a cadence that is actively used by RUNNING or PAUSED campaigns. Stop those campaigns first, then delete the cadence.
