Generate Invite Codes / Passwords for Your Survey Respondents
25
Nov
Occasionally, you will want to invite some respondents to take your survey but you will not have their email addresses. One of the nice things about FluidSurveys is that you have the ability to generate unique passwords that you can then pass onto your survey respondents. This is useful if you are doing a mail-based survey and would like to send out a generic URL and then just a password to everyone who you invite to the survey. Another example is when a store like the GAP will give you a password on your purchase receipt so that you can use it to go take a survey online and redeem a coupon code. Generally, you will want to generate passwords in two cases: 1) You don’t know the respondent’s email address So, now that we know why you would use this feature, let’s talk about how you would use it: 1) First, head on over to the publish page and then click on the “invite tab”
2) Now, scroll all the way to the the bottom of the page to the section that asks you to “Generate Invite Codes”. Simply type in a number in the text box and then click on “Generate Codes”
3) Once you do this, you will get the following popup that will you show you the generated invite codes:
4) You can always go back and click on “previous codes” to see what else you have created in the past. 5) If you want to see the status of these codes (i.e. which one of the codes has been used, etc…), simply go to the “export” page and export invite codes.
6) Finally, if you don’t want anyone who doesn’t have a password to take the survey, you can go to the publish page and then click on the restrictions tab. On this tab, then choose “Only allow users with a valid unused invite to take the survey” and then save your settings:
