Share a link

Before you start

Select your research in Distribute Research, then choose Add distribution → Link. Use different titles for each sharing channel to compare participation later.

Step by step

1. Set a title and participation limits

   Use a recognizable title such as Social media recruitment. Enable a maximum-participant limit if needed. To restrict access with a password, enable it and enter 6–16 letters and numbers. You can also add a note for participants.

   

2. Check the participation period and how to start

   For a fixed recruitment period, enable the start and end date options and choose dates and times. Participation closes at the end time.

   To start now, select immediate distribution and Confirm. To start later, save without that option, then choose Start distribution from the card's more menu (⋮).

   

3. Copy the link from the card

   Select the copy button next to the link and paste it into your invitation or message. If using a password, you can copy it from the card too.

   Before sharing, check that distribution is active and the participation start time has arrived.

   

4. Monitor participation and close recruitment

   Check participation, completed and dropped-off counts on the card. Open Participation Status for detailed responses. To close recruitment, choose End in that distribution's more menu (⋮).

Check that you're done

Your copied link is ready to share. Participation depends on the distribution status, period, password and maximum-participant settings.

If you need help

Link won't open? Check for inactive or ended status, an expired period or a reached participant limit.
