Email ops needs human follow-through
This is not Mailchimp’s campaign setup documentation (regular vs. ongoing campaigns). It is an operator playbook for what to do after you send—list hygiene, engagement drops, and revenue follow-through.
Mailchimp automates sends; teams still need to act on replies, bounces, and engagement drops.
Audience ops is a queue—not a one-time campaign.
