Omnisend Automation Not Sending
Quick answer
If an Omnisend automation sends nothing, check that it is started, then use the trigger preview to see which filter blocks contacts and verify subscription status and channel settings.
Most likely fix: Make sure it is live

Symptoms
Workflow shows zero entries, or contacts enter but no email goes out.
Why it happens
- Workflow still a draft (not started)
- Trigger filters exclude contacts
- Contact is Non-subscribed or Unsubscribed while workflow sends to Subscribed only
- No email address, or role-based address like info@ blocked
- Signups not syncing from the store
- Contacts waiting in a delay block
