Screener flow for bring-your-own participants

When recruiting your participants, you have several options for how to get those participants on to Dscout. In this article, we’ll be outlining how to onboard participants via invite-link screeners, but you can see links to other onboarding flows below:

• Diary mission onboarding flow for first time participants (profile not required)
• Diary mission onboarding flow for first time participants (profile required)
• First time participant flow in a desktop interview study
• First time participant flow in a mobile interview study

Once you have set up your screener and sent the screener webpage link out to your participants, they’ll go through the following steps to get onboarded on to the Dscout platform:

Participants access through the webpage

Participants will see a webpage with information about the screener. On this page, participants will submit their name and email to create a Dscout account. They will also be prompted to review the Scout Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and select the checkbox to indicate they agree to them. See a copy of the Scout Terms & Conditions & Privacy Policy here.
