Notifications and calendar invites in interview studies

A single interview session is often a group effort, with many moderators conducting multiple sessions a week. So, Dscout helps you keep track of what sessions you've got on the books by sending emails at various points in the scheduling process. These emails include events you can add directly to your calendar:

The table below shows when calendar invites are sent and who receives them:
Session first scheduled
Session rescheduled
Note: Participants cannot reschedule a session on the same day.
One-hour reminder
Moderator changed
Note: Removing, adding, or reassigning a moderator on an already-scheduled session does not trigger an email invitation.
Session canceled (by researcher)
Session canceled (by participant)
Note: If a participant begins the rescheduling process but does not select a new time slot, their session is canceled and the researcher is not notified.
