Step 4: Click the green New Campaign Template button on the right to start creating a new template.

Steps to Set Up the Basics

Step 1: Enter a name for your offer template (e.g. Spring Campaign Offer). This helps you identify it later.

Step 2: The Template ID will be auto-filled, but you can edit it if required.

Step 3: Click Add Question.

Step 4: Type your custom question (e.g. Are you subject to finance?).

Step 5: Choose an Answer Type from the dropdown (e.g. text, yes/no, multiple choice).

Step 6: Choose whether the question is Required:

• Click Yes if buyers must answer it
• Click No if it's optional

Step 7: Click Add Question to include more (up to 12), or Delete Question to remove.
