If you want the campaign to continue to be active after the date and time you set, check the box below the date field.
⭐ PRO TIP - We recommend adding the end time only 48 hours before the end of the campaign. Adding the clock in the last 48 hours is a great opportunity for both ambassadors and donors to get the feeling that this is the last chance to take part and you should mobilize for the success of the campaign.

Target - choose whether you want the campaign to have a target, and what type of target (amount, number of donations, recurring, ambassadors, etc.).
There are other options for you to choose from that you can read about in that guide
