# Difference of Auto Messages and Campaign Messages

Both functions serve to address contacts in your LinkedIn network, but they differ in their operation and setting options.

#### Auto Messages: Simple and Direct

Auto messages are a relatively simple function. They offer only minimal filter options. The main function of this setting is to check whether a contact has already been sent a message within a set period. If so, this contact will be skipped in the next run. This ensures that each contact receives only one auto message within the period. This is particularly useful for general messages like newsletters, which should go to all your contacts.

#### Campaign Messages: Versatile and Customizable

Campaign messages offer a variety of setting options, allowing you to finely tune your messaging strategy. You can set start and end dates to determine the period in which messages should be sent. In addition, you can set specific filter conditions, such as:

- Who sent the last message (you, the contact, or both).
- The number of messages sent by you.
- The total number of messages in the chat.
- The age of the last message.
- Whether the contact is connected with Compleadly.
- The presence of a question mark in the last message.

These features enable you to specifically address certain contacts, whether to carry out follow-up actions or to address specific groups within your network.

#### Summary and Support

Both Auto Messages and Campaign Messages offer different approaches for communication on LinkedIn. While Auto Messages are suitable for broad communication, Campaign Messages offer the possibility to detail and personalize your messaging strategy. For more detailed instructions and setting options, you will find an instructional video and explanations in each function next to the title.
