# Manage appearance of an intercept study

Your intercept study will appear as a pop-up when qualifying participants visit your designated intercept URL. This pop-up will display the incentive for your study as well as a custom prompt to tell participants a little about your study.

### Intercept prompt

The prompt for your intercept study is your way of giving participants an idea of what they can expect while also piquing their interest. For example, you might choose to emphasize how long the study might take or a quick summary of what you’re hoping to learn: “Tell us more about your use of videos when shopping—it’ll only take a couple of minutes!”

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Overview** tab of your study.

![](/files/c8ff6d8cdeb64a7da526c97aa502f7c56bc8d32c)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click anywhere in the **Appearance and prompt** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Intercept prompt** text box, enter your desired prompt.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** You can format the text of your prompt in the following ways:

* `*bold*` = **bold**
* `_italic_` = *italic*
* `<http://examplelink.com>` = [https://examplelink.com](https://examplelink.com/)
* `[Sample link](https://examplelink.com)` = [Sample link](https://examplelink.com/)
  {% endhint %}
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Done**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, your study prompt is saved and will be displayed to participants in the intercept pop-up when they visit your intercept URL. You can preview how this pop-up will appear by opening the **Appearance and prompt** section again and clicking **Preview your intercept**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/intercept-studies/create-an-intercept-study/manage-appearance-of-an-intercept-study.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
