✅

You should implement __str__ (or __unicode__ if Python 2) in the object’s model.

From Django’s docs:

Django uses str(obj) in a number of places. Most notably, to display an object in the Django admin site and as the value inserted into a template when it displays an object. Thus, you should always return a nice, human-readable representation of the model from the str() method.

Update your models.py like this:

class Campaign(models.Model):
  user = models.ForeignKey(User)
  campaign_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
  autoresponder_type = (
      ('Send replies to inbox messages','Send replies to inbox
       messages'),
      ('Post replies to users comments','Post replies to users comments'),
      )
  facebook_account_to_use = models.ForeignKey(FacebookAccount)
  set_auto_reply_for_fan_page = models.ForeignKey(FacebookFanPage)
  message_list_to_use = models.ForeignKey(PredefinedMessage)
  reply_only_for_this_keyword = models.CharField(max_length=50)

  def __unicode__(self):
    return self.campaign_name  # or you can use any string value instead of campaign_name
