### 4. Campaign Options

In the Campaign Options, you will need to assign a title to your credential campaign. Please note that this title will remain hidden from your recipients.

Next, adjust the campaign privacy settings. By setting your campaign to private, access will be limited to you and those individuals with whom you choose to share the credentials.

You have the option to modify the social sharing text that will be visible to your recipients. Feel free to include any pertinent hashtags to enhance visibility and engagement.

Finally, provide your Sender Name and the Email Subject. If you are utilizing a custom email domain, please ensure that you enter your domain address accordingly.

To upload your recipients, click on the "Upload Spreadsheet" button. You can utilize either an Excel or .csv file for this process. Be sure to include any recipient attributes you wish to add as separate columns in your spreadsheet. Once you have uploaded the file, simply match the attributes accordingly.

#### 6. Preview and Send

Once your campaign is prepared, you have the opportunity to review the credential pages and associated emails for each recipient you have uploaded.

On the **Preview and Send** page, you can:

- Set a specific time for your campaign to be sent by utilizing the **"Schedule for Later"** feature.
- You can preview the credential by sending a test version to yourself or a colleague using the **"Send a Test Credential"** feature.

If you are satisfied with the campaign and have reviewed all details, please click **Send** to proceed with issuing the credentials.
