The “Apply Left to Give” feature is available on Targeted Email and Mobile Messaging for clients with disclosure, and customizes suggested contribution amounts to prevent a supporter from exceeding their personal Left to Give amount (found on the contact record).
When you use the Optimized Ask feature, you’ll see an Apply Left to Give option that can be toggled on or off. Toggling this on will further customize the optimized suggested contribution amounts to ensure that you don’t go over your cycle period limit.
