# Sending History

View your automated campaign's send history and all its details.

Review the complete history of automation runs, including successful sends, skipped sends, and errors.

The Sending History pop-up is one of the best tools for troubleshooting automation behavior and understanding what happened during a specific automation run.

### Access Sending History

To view the history for an automation:

1. Navigate to the **Automations** tab in the Feedotter UI. 
2. Locate the automation you want to review.
3. Click the **three-dot menu** in the Actions column.
4. Select **View History**.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://2086102864-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIdHBGk8cqznUpEqm5g1U%2Fuploads%2FnRiBwXezjKbYSnZJw0EI%2F2026-06-11_12-59-54.png?alt=media&amp;token=603ccdde-7366-436c-97d8-1ed9dd29320b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

A history window will open displaying all runs associated with the selected automation.

### Understanding the History View

Each history record represents a single automation run.

For each run, Feedotter displays:

* Preview of the generated email
* Date and time of the run
* Number of new posts detected
* Number of posts included in the email
* Link to the generated email in your ESP
* Status of the run

### New Posts vs Included Posts

The **NEW/INC** column displays two values:

**New Posts**\
The number of articles Feedotter identified as new during the automation run.

**Included Posts**\
The number of articles ultimately included in the generated email.

### View Emails in Your ESP

If an email was successfully generated, the **ESP** column includes a link to open the email directly within your connected Email Service Provider.

This can be useful when reviewing generated emails, troubleshooting sending behavior, or verifying content.

### Understanding Statuses

The **Status** column displays the result of each automation run.

#### Success

A **Success** status indicates that Feedotter successfully generated the email and completed the automation process.

#### Problem

A **Problem** status indicates that Feedotter encountered an issue during the automation run.

When a problem occurs:

1. Click **View Details**.
2. Review the error information provided.

The details window contains specific information about the failure and is often the fastest way to determine what went wrong.

> **Need help?** If you're unsure how to interpret an error message, review the troubleshooting documentation or contact the Feedotter team at [**success@feedotter.com**](mailto:success@feedotter.com) and include the error details.

### Viewing Skipped Runs

By default, skipped automation runs may be hidden from the history view.

To display skipped runs:

1. Open the Sending History window.
2. Enable the **Skipped** checkbox in the upper-right corner.

Feedotter will display runs that were skipped because automation conditions were not met.

Common reasons for skipped runs include:

* No new content was found
* Require New Content to Send was enabled
* Content did not meet filtering requirements

Skipped runs will display a status of **Skipped**.

### Automation Details Page

You can also review automation history from the **Automation Details** page by clicking the automation name from the Automations table.

The Automation Details page displays a visual history of previous sends, including full email previews (click the eye icon) and quick access to generated emails.
