Transferring panel participants' IDs into the survey


In addition to interviews of own clients and employees, you can perform wider market research surveys with easyfeedback. You could buy additional participants for your survey from a panel provider. These candidates need to get their incentives from the panel provider, to successfully conduct the survey. This is ensured by IDs of the participants, which will be returned on completion of the survey.
 
Completes: successfully completed interviews (incentive)
Screen outs: filtered out participants who do not fit to the target audience (no or little incentive)
Quota full: is not offered and must be managed by the returns from the panel provider



The transfer of IDs is performed in 2 steps:
 
  1. Transfer of the panel provider's IDs into the survey
    When you have created your survey, copy the survey link into a text file and add parameters and variables at the end to be able to transfer the IDs of the individual participants to the survey: e.g. /?participant=[id]. Your panel provider will tell you how to name the parameter or will change this independently.
    Finally transfer the survey link to the panel provider.

    Via the extension /?participant=[id], the ID of the participant is transferred from the panel provider to the survey.
     
  2. Forwarding of IDs in a 'Complete' or 'Screen out' to the panel provider
    For the participants to recaive their incentive from the panel provider, he must be notified if a participant has completed the survey successfully, or is not part of the target group. For both cases, you will get a link from the panel provider:

    Screen out link
    First of all: "Screenout" means the participant does not belong to the required target group. To determine this, filter questions are asked in the survey. If you only want to survey car owners, then the filter question is: "Do you own a car?". All those who answer "No" do not belong to the target group.

    Use the quiz function to filter this out and activate automatic forwarding to the panel provider at the end. In this case, you must enter a value for the answer option "No" whether the person owns a car: e.g. 100.

    At the end of the quiz function you can activate redirects based on achieved points. In this case, you set: from 99-101 points reached, a forwarding should be active, and also enter the screenout link.

    Example: www.panelprovider.com/screenout/?participant=[id]


    Complete link
    A complete link is required for every successful interview. You also store the complete link in the quiz function. To do this, add a new forwarding and define the points area when this should become active. In this example with the car: 0-98 points. And then store the complete link as a link.
