Once a reply is detected, the recipient is automatically marked with a Replied status in the campaign. This way, you can easily keep track of who has responded to your emails.
How to see replies and reply rate of your campaigns
To guarantee precise reply statistics, the reply tracking feature is automatically enabled by default for all sent emails, and it cannot be disabled.
By default, for the recipients who replied the sequence stops. However, you can change this if you want continue the sequence for prospects who reply.
The Stop for those who reply setting is specific to each campaign, and it is enabled by default. You can find and manage it in the campaign editor under the Tracking section.

You can manage the list of recipients who have replied in the Recipients tab.
