You can cancel/stop calling Customers anytime. You do not need to wait until the entire recipient list is contacted.

You have two options to stop a *scheduled* or *in-progress* Campaign:

1. Cancel contacting a scheduled or in-progress outreach
2. Delete the entire Campaign, including the whole recipient list.

## Cancel contacting a scheduled or in-progress outreach

> [!WARNING]
> Canceling a recipient list
> 
> You cannot "pause" or "restart" a recipient list currently in progress to continue contacting the recipients in the list at a later time. If a recipient list is canceled, for those contacts the Campaign couldn't call, you'll need to add them as new recipients if needed.
