# How to create an announcement

To create an announcement:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to **Promotion** > **Announcements**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **+Create**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the announcement **Type**:

* **Required** — includes a button and blocks interaction with the B2CORE UI until the client clicks the button.
* **Optional** — doesn't require client action and is displayed when the client clicks the **Announcements** icon in the topbar of the B2CORE UI.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter the announcement **Title**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to create the announcement. Newly created announcements are disabled by default.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Edit** in the announcement row to configure its settings.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Fill in the following fields:

* Add localized versions of the **Title**, if needed.
* Set **Enable** to **Yes**.
* **Button text** *(applicable only to Required announcements)* — enter the label of the action button.
* **Targeted emails** — enter client emails to limit the announcement to specific recipients. You can also upload a CSV file with emails.
* **Text** — enter the announcement message and add localized versions, if needed.
* **Button URL** — specify the URL to which clients will be redirected after clicking the button displayed in the announcement.
* **Due to Date** — set the expiration date. After this date, the announcement will no longer be displayed in the B2CORE UI.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to activate the announcement.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2core.b2broker.com/how-to-articles/manage-advertising-options/how-to-create-an-announcement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
