The Different Campaign Types

What the differences are between Simple, Smart and Magic Campaigns

Written by Lee

Interceptly supports multiple campaign types, so you can run anything from a simple outbound sequence to a more adaptive, logic-based flow.

Campaign Types Available

Interceptly campaign types range from simple to advanced, depending on the level of control and automation you need.

Most users have access to:

  • Simple campaigns.

  • Smart campaigns.

If you are on an AI package, you may also have access to:

  • Magic campaigns.

๐ŸŽ“ Note: Your available campaign types can depend on your plan and enabled features inside your workspace.


Simple Campaigns

Simple campaigns are linear sequences that run in the exact order you set.

Each prospect moves through each step one-by-one until they reply or the campaign ends.

What You Can Include in a Simple Campaign

A simple campaign can include multi-channel steps like:

  • LinkedIn connection requests.

  • LinkedIn messages.

  • InMails.

  • Videos.

  • Emails.

How Simple Campaigns Run

Each step runs when:

  • The previous step has completed.

  • The delay you set has passed.

You can set delays to control timing between steps and keep your outreach spaced out.

๐ŸŽ“ Note: Simple campaigns are best when you want a consistent process that is easy to set up and repeat.


Smart Campaigns

Smart campaigns adapt based on what the prospect does at each step.

Instead of always moving forward in a straight line, smart campaigns let you build logic like:

  • If a prospect accepts your connection request, then send a message.

  • If a prospect declines, send an email instead.

This creates a flexible approach where your next step changes based on prospect behavior.

Why Teams Use Smart Campaigns

Smart campaigns help you:

  • Follow up in a way that matches the prospectโ€™s actions.

  • Reduce wasted steps that do not apply.

  • Improve relevance without manually checking every prospect.

๐ŸŽ“ Note: Smart campaigns are useful when you want more control over what happens next, based on LinkedIn or email outcomes.


Magic Campaigns

Magic campaigns use AI to help you create campaigns faster.

Instead of building every step manually, you provide a short prompt describing your objective, and Interceptly generates the campaign structure for you.

What You Can Generate With Magic Campaigns

Magic campaigns can be created as:

  • LinkedIn-only campaigns.

  • Email-only campaigns.

  • Combined LinkedIn + email campaigns.

AI Credits

Magic campaigns use AI credits.

๐Ÿšจ Caution: If you run out of AI credits, you may not be able to generate new magic campaigns until credits are available again.


Best Practices

  • Use simple campaigns when you want a consistent outreach flow that is easy to repeat.

  • Use smart campaigns to deliver different follow-ups based on prospect actions.

  • Use magic campaigns when you want a fast starting point, then edit the campaign to match your offer and audience.

  • Keep your first campaign short, then expand once you see what gets replies.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: The best campaign type is the one you can run consistently. Start simple, then add complexity only when you need it.
