Do something like this-

C#

public IHttpActionResult PostEmailInsert(EmailCampaign ecamp)
{
    if(ecamp.deleteStatus == null)
    {
        ecamp.deleteStatus = true;
    }

    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return BadRequest(ModelState);
    }
    db.Entry(ecamp).State = EntityState.Added;
    db.SaveChanges();
    return Ok(ecamp);
}

Is it not possible to have a default constructor for your class?

C#

public class Email
{
    public Email()
    {
        CampaignId = 0;
        Name = "";
        deleteStatus = true;
    }

    [Key]
    public int CampaignId { get; set; } 
    public string Name{get;set;} 
    public bool deleteStatus { get; set; }
}
