My recipient replied, why aren't they showing as paused?

When a recipient becomes a lead in your campaign, Mailshake will prevent sending any reply-based follow-ups to that person. Mailshake doesn't "pause" your recipient because pausing is a feature for you and your team. Instead, the replies will be absent from the "Pending Messages" tab when you view your recipient.

Recipients become leads based on how you have Lead Catcher ® set up. The default settings are that someone becomes a lead when they reply to one of your emails.
