# Campaign Member Statuses

Campaigns can help you monitor prospects as they interact with your marketing assets. After a person or an account is added as a campaign member, users can apply a member status that reflects their recent activity. To allow users to create a member status at any time, a Salesforce admin must add a related list to campaign records.

## Planning for Campaign Member Statuses

Before you start using campaign member statuses, think about your campaign types and which statuses you want to include for each type. For example, statuses for an event can include Invited, Registered, and Attended. Do you want to include Declined or No Show? For consistency, we recommend that you create a single set of campaign member statuses for each type of campaign that you run. Document the statuses for internal use.

To allow users to create their own campaign member statuses, an admin adds the Campaign Member Statuses related list to campaign records.

## Using the Campaign Member Status Field

From a campaign’s Campaign Member Statuses related list, users can create a status, select a default status, and indicate whether the status is considered a response. Salesforce tallies response records together in the Responses in Campaign field.

When someone interacts with your campaign, their member status doesn’t change automatically. After you create campaign member statuses, you can apply a status to campaign member records manually, in bulk, or with Account Engagement automation tools.

You can use the Campaign Member Status field to filter and sort your campaign data. For example, target your audiences based on campaign member status, or generate reports to track RSVPs or awareness.

## Updating Campaign Member Statuses

If you plan to use campaign member status as a filtering mechanism in reporting or automation, don’t edit the available member statuses and their settings. If you change the status value or its response setting, it can cause problems where the status is in use and trigger statistics recalculation throughout your reports.

Tip To encourage consistency, document your default campaign statuses for internal users. You can also use the Clone with Related tool to copy a campaign and its member statuses the next time you create a similar campaign.
