Official Tasks GuideGENERAL INTRODUCTION
What is an 'Official Task'?An 'Official Task' is simply a task that an AiExpress Connect platform task administrator creates according to their business needs and with the intention of working with an influencer, agency or seller. The task administrator can invite "users" (i.e influencers, agencies or sellers) to sign up and complete tasks and, in return, users can get official traffic information for their portfolio, coupons, money and other benefits.
*Note: If money is involved, payment will need to be made offline (i.e, outside of the AliExpress Connect platform).

Please note that payment is not currently supported by the system, so it will need to be made offline (i.e. outside of the AliExpress platform).
• Other: If you select this, you'll be able to create a task that is open to influencers, agencies or sellers. However, there will not be a set fee option.3. Applicant Screening:

4. Start Times & Deadlines:
• Task Start Time: After this time, users can see and participate in tasks.
• Application Deadline: This is the latest possible time that a user can register by.
• Review Deadline: This is the latest possible time that task administrators will be able to review and approve tasks by. Once this deadline has passed, any unreviewed applications will be automatically rejected by the system. Please note that task administrators may begin reviewing applications before the application deadline.
• Content Delivery Deadline: This is the latest possible time that a user may submit content by. At present, once a user has submitted their content, the task administrator will need to review it within 5 days. Once 5 days have passed, the user-side system will show a message saying that the review stage has timed out. It's recommended that task administrators set up the content delivery deadline, publication method and date, as well as the payment method and date in a way that the task flows smoothly from one step to another.
