Understand Nurturing Status In People

The Nurturing column in the People table is a simple badge or dash. For the full picture, paused, disabled, or off, use the Nurturing Status filter or the contact detail sheet.

Reading the dash#

A dash means the contact isn't actively nurturing right now, for one of three reasons:

  • Paused: follow-ups stop for now. This is the right choice when you want dreamif.ai to resume later without losing context.
  • Disabled: nurture is turned off for this contact. Use this when the person is no longer a fit. Scheduled touchpoints are removed.
  • Off: no touchpoint is scheduled yet. Common reasons: the contact is below the minimum interaction threshold, the contact is waiting for the next interaction, or nurture is disabled in settings.

Finding out which one it is#

Two ways to tell the three apart:

  1. Filter the list. Open the filter panel and use Nurturing Status to show only Nurturing, Paused, Off, or Disabled contacts. See Search and filter contacts.
  2. Open the contact. Click the contact to open their detail sheet, switch to the Nurture tab, and read the status dropdown. It shows the current status plus a subtitle explaining why, such as "Below the minimum interaction threshold" or "Waiting for the next interaction."

To change the status, use that same dropdown on the Nurture tab. If a contact is below your minimum interaction threshold, lower that threshold in Settings > AI preferences > Nurture.
