Sending statuses in Hunter Campaigns show the current stage of outreach for each recipient. They help you understand whether an email has been sent, opened, clicked, replied to, or if there were delivery issues.
This guide explains all possible statuses, what they mean, and where to view them in Hunter.
All possible sending statuses
Hunter Campaigns can assign 10 different statuses to a recipient:
Sent – The most recent email was sent and delivered. Status changes if the recipient takes another action (e.g., opens the email) or if a follow-up is scheduled.
Opened – The recipient opened the latest email. Status changes if they click a link or reply. Learn how Hunter tracks opens →
Clicked – The recipient opened the email and clicked a link. Requires link tracking (available on premium plans). Status changes if they reply.
Replied – The recipient replied to the email (including auto-replies like “out of office”).
Terminal status: ends the campaign for this recipient.
Replies appear in the Hunter Inbox.
Scheduled – An email to this recipient is scheduled to send in the future.
Overrides Sent, Opened, and Clicked when a follow-up is scheduled.
Scheduled emails appear in your Campaigns Queue.
Bounced – The email could not be delivered (bounce).
Future emails are canceled.
Recipient is added to your Unsubscriptions list to prevent further outreach.
Unsubscribed – The recipient clicked the unsubscribe link.
Future emails are canceled.
Recipient is added to your Unsubscriptions list.
Error – The email failed to send due to an error. Learn about sending errors →
Contact support if you need help resolving this status.
Canceled – Upcoming emails for this recipient are canceled.
Permanent status; no other statuses override it.
Applied manually or automatically after bounce, error, unsubscribe, or successful status.
Successful – Outreach is marked as successful (manual status).

Where to view sending statuses
You can see and filter sending statuses in several areas of Hunter:
Emails Tab (within a campaign)
Shows the sending status for each email sent.
Allows filtering by status to view specific recipient actions.
Audience Tab (within a campaign)
Displays the recipient’s most recent status.
Shows “Scheduled” if a new email is queued.
Shows the latest sending status for each lead.
“Never contacted” appears if no outreach has been sent or scheduled.
You can filter leads by one or multiple statuses to create targeted lists (e.g., all “Never contacted” leads).
Within Leads you can also filter your leads by their current sending status as shown below:
For example, you could filter your list to only see leads with the "Never contacted" status so you know exactly who you need to reach out to next.
You can also filter by any other sending statuses to separate your leads however you'd like, and you can select more than one status at a time to create dynamic lists.
ℹ️ If you don’t see the Sending Status column, click the “+” button on the right side of the column header section to enable and display it.
