# Creating Campaigns

> Walk through every step of the campaign wizard to launch an endorsement collection page.

## Campaign wizard

Creating a campaign uses a 6-step wizard. Each step focuses on a specific aspect of your campaign, and a live preview on the right side shows you exactly how supporters will see it.

Navigate to **Campaigns** in the sidebar and click **New Campaign** to get started.

## Step 1: Basics

Set the foundation for your campaign.

* **Campaign name** — an internal name to identify this campaign in your dashboard
* **URL slug** — the public URL path for your campaign (`backthevote.com/c/your-slug`)
* **Submission types** — toggle which formats you accept:
  * **Video** — browser-based video recording
  * **Voice** — audio-only recording
  * **Text** — written endorsement form

<Tip>Enable all three formats to maximize participation. Some supporters are camera-shy but happy to write or record audio.</Tip>

## Step 2: Questions

Add prompt questions that guide supporters on what to say. These appear as talking points on your campaign page.

* Click **Add Question** to add a new prompt
* Reorder questions by dragging them
* Questions are optional for supporters — they serve as conversation starters

**Example prompts:**

* "Why do you support this candidate?"
* "What issue matters most to your community?"
* "What would you say to a neighbor who's undecided?"

## Step 3: Branding

Customize the look and feel of your campaign page.

* **Logo** — your organization or campaign logo
* **Cover image** — a hero image displayed at the top of the campaign page
* **Brand color** — choose from preset colors or enter a custom hex value
* **Welcome message** — introductory text shown to supporters before they record

## Step 4: Settings

Configure how submissions are collected and managed.

| Setting                     | Description                                                |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Recording time limit**    | Maximum length for video and voice recordings              |
| **AI moderation**           | Automatically screen submissions for inappropriate content |
| **Contact info collection** | Optionally collect name, email, and phone number           |
| **Terms acceptance**        | Require supporters to accept terms before submitting       |
| **Star rating**             | Enable an optional 1-5 star rating with submissions        |

## Step 5: Landing page (optional)

Build a custom landing page for your campaign using the built-in page editor (powered by Puck). This is a full drag-and-drop page builder that lets you create a richer experience around your endorsement collection.

Skip this step if you're happy with the default campaign page layout.

## Step 6: Share

Your campaign is ready to publish. This step provides:

* **Campaign link** — copy and share directly
* **QR code** — download for print materials, events, or signage
* **Social sharing** — one-click sharing to SMS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and email

<Note>You can always come back to edit any campaign from the **Campaigns** list by clicking on it.</Note>
