In Fall 2023 we launched automated emails that are triggered for new researchers at various landmark points of building and executing research on the dscout platform. These trigger emails will be sent only to new researchers who begin their first Screener, Express or Live mission on dscout. Here are the four exact trigger times: 

  1. First Express Mission How-To→ The morning after you click “create Express mission” for the first time researchers will receive an email with some helpful tips for setting up & launching Express missions. These tips include answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Express, including…
    1. What should be included in the Teaser?
    2. How do I use Targeting Attributes?
    3. What is a fair incentive for these quick-pulse missions?
    4. How many questions can I ask?
  1. First Live Mission How-To→ The morning after a researcher clicks “create Live mission” on the dscout platform for the first time, they will receive an email with some helpful tips for setting up & launching a Live mission. These tips include answers to some of the most frequently asked questions around Live sessions, including…
    1. What is the best way to schedule scouts?
    2. How to test it out

  2. 25% of Express Mission Entries In→ This is an automated email sent as soon as 25% of the mission openings set in your Express mission have been reached. This only occurs for Express missions that were launched to the dscout panel, so not any Express mission that was manual recruit or BYO. This is very helpful in keeping first-time users of Express on top of the data coming in here and often happens faster than folks expect!

  3. 25% of Screener Has Filled→ This is a helpful automated message that gets sent as soon as 25% of the application limit has been hit in your first screener. Sometimes this happens much sooner than researchers expect and can be a helpful nudge to check in on the entries here. If there are already plenty of scouts who fit the parameters of your mission and you select your “Good Fit” choices, you can close the screener early! 


If you would like to opt out of these automated emails, you can do so via the notifications page under your dscout profile.
