If you want to bring your own participants to an interview study, you can do so using a study webpage. Study webpages let you set a participant limit and give you a shareable link that people can use to sign up. When your participant limit is met, the webpage will close to new participants.
To enable a webpage for an interview study:
- Navigate to the Setup tab of your study.
- Select Participants.
- Under Bring your own participants, set the Enable Live mission webpage toggle to ON. The participant limit modal is displayed.
-
Enter the desired number of participants for your study. When this number is reached, no additional participants will be able to sign up.
Note: Before you can launch your study, you must have enough available time slots to accommodate your selected participant limit. For more information, see Manage time slots in an interview study. - Click Confirm.
Now, your webpage is drafted and the URL is displayed. When you launch your study, this link will be made live and accessible to anyone you share it with. You can return here at any time to copy the URL, view how many participants have signed up, and verify the status of the webpage:
Here’s a breakdown of the possible webpage statuses you may see:
- Draft: You’ve enabled the webpage but have not launched your study. When you launch your study, the page will become active.
- Active: Your study is launched, the webpage is active, and new participants may sign up for sessions.
- Filled: Your study is launched, but your participant limit has been reached. Therefore, your webpage is no longer accessible to new participants.
- Inactive: You’ve either closed your study or manually deactivated the webpage by setting the Enable Live mission webpage to OFF.
Update participant limit
If you need to update your participant limit, you can do so either before you launch your study or while your study is launched. If you increase your participant limit after reaching your previous limit, your study webpage will become active again, allowing new participants to sign up.
To update your study’s participant limit:
- Navigate to the Setup tab of your study.
- Select Participants.
- Under Bring your own participants, click the Edit (pencil) icon beside Participant limit. The participant limit modal is displayed.
- Enter a New limit.
- Click Confirm.
Now, your participant limit is updated. If your previous limit had already been reached, your study webpage will be reactivated and accessible to new participants.
