Special Campaign Use Cases

Low-Volume Use Cases
Apart from the typical “Mixed/Marketing” scenario, there exists a distinct Campaign application known as “Low Volume Mixed.” This alternative accommodates various use cases just like the standard Campaign, yet it offers a reduced monthly fee and is set at the lowest throughput tier, irrespective of your Trust Score.
