If you have a familiar panel of respondents, you can use it with us as well!
How to get started
If you prefer to use your own panel instead of ours, please let us know before hiring so we can enable this feature in your interface. In the near future, we will implement a feature that will allow easy integration of your panel directly with us, providing even greater convenience in research.
Panel setup
01 Inform us: Let us know if you want to use your own panel, and we will activate this option for you.
02 Specify respondent criteria: Clearly define the characteristics you are looking for in your respondents: demographic information, occupation, and interests.
03 Prepare your panel: Reach out to the members of your panel, informing them about the upcoming research opportunity and explaining the process.
04 Adjust parameters correctly: Configure screening questions (if necessary), quotas, max completion time, and redirect links. Here's how it all works:
Screening Questions
We recommend setting up screening questions in the integration setup window. Please note that the first block should always be the context block (where you can ask testers to complete the survey with no breaks, for example), followed by the screening questions themselves. Based on these questions, you can set up the quotas.
If there are questions in the main survey that mirror the screening questions, we recommend removing them from the test itself to prevent respondents from answering them twice.
Quotas
Segment your audience using quotas. This approach ensures balance in your audience. Quotas work as follows: we look for a quota, and depending on the tester's answers, we reserve them in that quota. We use fixed quotas, where it's important to specify all parameters inside.
For example, if you need 100 men and 100 women, the 101st respondent from either of these groups will not be able to continue the test and will receive a message about the quota being filled.
If you need to recruit 30 respondents with the following breakdown:
10 men from New York
10 women from New York
10 men from Washington
Then the setup would look as follows:
If you need to recruit 20 men from New York and Washington, without strict requirements for exact division by cities, you can setup the quotas using a rule group.
Sities should be specified in the rule group using the OR operator — this way you can criteria with no need for creating separate quotas for each city. The total number of respondents in the quota will naturally be distributed across the cities.
Max Completion Time
This parameter sets the maximum time allowed to complete the test after it begins. It must be set — once a tester starts the survey, their spot is "reserved" for this time, and new testers will not be able to fill the quota.
Redirect URLs
These links play a crucial role in the testing process and are provided by the partner panel:
Completion URL: This field appears automatically during integration setup. Testers who successfully complete the test will be redirected here.
ScreenOut URL: This field appears when you add screening questions. Testers who do not meet the screening criteria will be redirected here.
QuotaFull URL: This field appears when you set up quotas. When a quota for a group of testers is filled, those attempting to start the test will be redirected here.
Correctly configuring these parameters will make the respondent experience clearer and your results more accurate.
05 Give your panel the green light: Once your settings are ready, inform the panel that your test is ready to accept responses and share the test link with them. Make sure you share the link in the "Hire testers from an external panel" section, not the "Share via link" section.
06 Gather information: As responses come in, our platform will compile a report for analysis, which can then be exported in .csv format.
