Managing Participants

Understanding Participant Statuses

Once your study is published, participants will begin applying and appear in your Participants tab with different statuses:

  • Qualified: Participants who have completed all required details and screener questions correctly. These participants are ready to be invited.
  • Not Qualified: Participants who fit some criteria and have answered screener questions, but need manual review. You can evaluate these participants and decide whether to move them to qualified status.
  • Invited: Qualified participants who have been sent calendar booking links but haven't scheduled yet.
  • Update Status: Appears 15 minutes after scheduled start time, allowing you to mark attendance.
  • Scheduled: Participants who have booked specific time slots for their sessions.
  • Attended: Participants who showed up and completed their scheduled session.
  • No Show: Participants who didn't attend their scheduled session.
  • Reported: Participants who have been reported for inappropriate behavior.

Managing Participant Applications

Reviewing Not Qualified Participants

  • Review participants who didn't automatically qualify
  • Check their screener responses and profile details
  • Manually promote participants to "Qualified" if they meet your needs
  • This gives you flexibility to include borderline candidates

Inviting Qualified Participants

  • Once you have qualified participants and your calendar is set up, you can send invitations
  • Invited participants receive booking links to schedule their own session times
  • They can choose from your available time slots

What Happens When Participants Book

When a participant schedules a session:

  • Their status automatically changes from "Invited" to "Scheduled"
  • A session is created in your project
  • A TetraBot is automatically scheduled to record and stream the meeting
  • Notification emails are sent to your designated team members
  • The participant receives a calendar invite with your meeting link and special instructions

Participant Management Features

  • Update status: After sessions, manually update participant status to "Attended" or "No Show"
  • Cancel sessions: Cancel scheduled sessions (if cancelled within 4 hours of the session, participant will still receive their incentive)
  • Report participants: Flag participants for inappropriate behavior during sessions
  • Search and filter: Find specific participants using the search bar
  • Export data: Export participant information to CSV
  • Track progress: Monitor how many participants you've qualified, invited, and scheduled
  • View details: See participant profiles and screener responses
