Configure a pre-launch page, countdown, and early giving period

Tags: product:online-giving intent:prelaunch intent:countdown intent:early-giving

Open Online Giving > Campaigns > [campaign] > Campaign Setup > Pre-Launch Page. Create or edit the page, configure its content and launch time, then activate it. The campaign uses the same public URL: before the configured launch time the active pre-launch experience is shown, and at or after launch the campaign experience is shown. Timing follows the institution's configured time zone.

Use Preview Campaign to check content, but remember that an administrator preview and the time-based public state answer different questions. If selected supporters should give before launch, send them an appropriate direct giving link and confirm that the campaign/form is able to accept gifts during that period; do not assume the public pre-launch page itself exposes the full checkout.

Deactivate the pre-launch page when it should no longer be used. Changing the campaign's dates does not substitute for reviewing the pre-launch activation and time.
