Hi All - I have just uploaded some new contact to IS. I have a campaign which is currently unpublished. If I publish it, will it send to those who have the tags I have identified as triggers as I do not want it to go to the contacts I have just added? I hope that makes sense.  
Many thanks  
Alex

Hey Alex, when you go to publish a campaign that has Tag Goals as triggers, it will check your existing database for anyone who has those tags and has NOT been in that campaign - and then it will ask you if you want to add those contacts.

So, you’ll have the choice. If you choose to add then, then it’ll achieve the goal(s) and the contacts will be added. If you don’t choose to add them, then it won’t. And if you check the box then it won’t ask you again for that campaign.
