- When a campaign is in draft mode, all settings can be changed. Once a campaign has been deployed, the campaign schedule, type, content, and group cannot be changed.

- Withdrawing a campaign should be your last resort.
Tips for Developing your Communication Strategy
A well-outlined communication strategy goes a long way in ensuring your employees stay engaged in your training initiatives and complete their assignments on time. A multi-threaded approach is most effective:
- Craft an official Internal Announcement within your company prior to deploying
- Add a personal message directly from the CEO or other executive at a company-wide meeting to illustrate company priorities and encourage engagement
- Configure automated Campaign Notifications through the Emtrain platform (welcome, reminders, past due, completion)
- Integrate with Slack to send automated reminders, or plan a post schedule with your company's internal messaging app
- Generate an FAQ for your learners that addresses their questions as it pertains to your company goals and intentions surrounding Preventing Workplace Harassment, DE&I, or Ethics training.
Suggested Messaging & Email Templates

- Reminders (from assignment until due date)
- Past Due (from due date until training complete)
- Campaign Completion (sent once all assignments in campaign are complete)
Determining the cadence for Reminders and Past Due messaging is helpful prior to configuration. Depending on the length of the campaign, we would suggest the following:
