Share a participation link
Before sharing
- Save your study and set the status to Open or Restricted (Dashboard > Studies list > Status chip, or inside the Study form).
- (Optional) Set a study password in the Description tab. Participants will be prompted to enter it on the welcome screen.
Where to get the link
Navigate to Dashboard > Studies > select the study row > Copy link.
The link format is:
{origin}/participate?id={studyId}
For example: https://yourapp.example/participate?id=abc123
Invite links (restricted studies)
When a study is Restricted, participants need an invite link instead of the general link. Each invite link contains a unique token:
{origin}/participate?id={studyId}&token={tokenId}
Generate and manage invite links from the Invite Links dialog on the study participations page. See Design a study for details.
What participants see
| Study state | Participant experience |
|---|---|
| Open | Welcome page > optional password prompt > consent > optional participation form > tasks > conclusion/thanks. |
| Restricted | Same flow as Open, but only accessible via a valid invite link. Invalid or consumed tokens show the closed study message. |
| Closed | A "study closed" message using the text from your Pages tab > Closed status message. |
| Password-protected | A password input appears under the welcome text. Labels and error messages can be customized in UI translations. |
Tips
Test before distributing
Open the link in a private/incognito window to verify the flow is correct for unauthenticated users.
- If the study includes screen sharing (Recording tab), remind participants they will be prompted by the browser to choose a screen or window after consent.
- If you see a permission error, confirm the study is Open or Restricted (with a valid invite link) and your browser allows camera/microphone access.
