Sometimes you need to stop a workflow immediately — an email has an error, a campaign is paused, a product is temporarily unavailable. MONDAi gives you control over what happens to contacts currently inside a workflow when you pause or stop it.

Pause vs Stop

Pause (set to Inactive): No new contacts enter. Contacts already inside continue through their scheduled steps.

Remove active contacts: Exits contacts from the workflow immediately — no further actions fire.

How to Pause a Workflow

1
Go to Automation → Workflows
Find the active workflow.
2
Toggle the status from Active to Inactive
No new contacts enter. Existing contacts continue.

How to Remove Active Contacts

1
Open the workflow and navigate to Active Contacts or History view
2
Select the contacts to remove
Select all or specific contacts.
3
Click Remove from Workflow
These contacts exit immediately.

Common Mistakes

  • Pausing a workflow and assuming all contacts inside stop — pausing only blocks new entries.
  • Stopping a workflow that other workflows depend on — check for downstream automations first.
  • Not documenting why a workflow was paused.
  • Removing all contacts without reviewing who is mid-sequence.
