Campaign lifecycle

Every campaign on Promise Tickets follows a lifecycle of statuses. Understanding these helps you manage your events effectively.

Campaign statuses

| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | Draft | Created but not yet published. Not visible to the public. Can be edited. | | Active | Published and accepting promises. Visible at its public URL. | | Converted | Threshold was met and all cards were charged. Event is confirmed. | | Expired | Deadline passed without reaching the threshold. No cards were charged. | | Cancelled | Producer cancelled the campaign. No cards were charged. |

Lifecycle flow

Draft → Active → Converted
                → Expired
                → Cancelled

• Draft → Active: You publish the campaign.
• Active → Converted: You convert the campaign after the threshold is met.
• Active → Expired: The deadline passes without reaching the threshold (automatic).
• Active → Cancelled: You manually cancel the campaign.
• Draft → Cancelled: You can also cancel a draft campaign.

Key points

• A campaign can only move forward — it cannot go back to a previous status.
• Conversion requires the threshold to be met and a connected Stripe account.
• Expiration happens automatically when the deadline passes. A scheduled process checks for expired campaigns.
• Only draft campaigns can be edited. All other statuses are locked.
