For each channel, select the status of the customers you want to send to:

* Fail: Customers who were sent the campaign but it failed.
Guide: Set the first channel's status to Not sent to send the campaign to all customers. For subsequent channels, set the status to Fail to continue sending to customers who failed to receive the campaign in the previous channel.

* Select the Check Campaign node to send a status check for the campaign. The result will indicate whether the campaign for this channel is complete.
* Select the Switch node to handle different scenarios:
* * If the campaign for this channel is complete, move to the next cross-channel step.
