Advanced Tutorials
1. Embedded Variables
Overview - Use dynamic variables​
​
This video gives you an overview of how you can use dynamic variables to automatically pass participant data, behavior patterns, and contextual information between surveys.
Experiments - Set and save conditions
This video focuses on the specific dynamic variables you need to pass to run experiments and make sure participants remain in the same conditions across surveys.
Branching - Daily survey count
Learn how to branch participants to see different content based on how many surveys they have already completed that day.
MindSampler - Branching by Daily Survey Count
Branching - Use previous responses
Learn how to save and use participant responses from previous surveys to show them different content dynamically in their current survey. Useful for ecological momentary interventions (EMI) and just-in-time interventions.
2. Triggers
Overview - Event-based surveys​
​
This video gives you an overview of how you can create intelligent notification triggers that automatically send surveys based on participant behavior, statistical thresholds, engagement patterns, or specific dates and times.
Threshold - Special surveys based on item reponses​
​
Learn how to send a different extra survey based on specific rules, like reporting a specific value on a survey item or if mood falls under a certain threshold.
Time - Special surveys based on dates​
​
Learn how to send a different extra survey at a specific date and time. Useful to track participant responses to specific events (e.g., an election day, a recent news event)
Trends - Special surveys based on time series​
​
Learn how to send a different extra survey based on statistical trends like a consistently decreasing response rate or mood.
3. Burst Notifications
Overview - Intensive follow-up​
​
Learn how to create a series of intensive extra follow-up surveys that automatically trigger when participants report specific events or conditions. For example, track someone's mood every two minutes after an event.
4. Custom Participant Feedback
Overview - Add new plots​
​
Learn how to display custom plots and text feedback on the App Home Screen to increase engagement and provide participants with insights into their data patterns and responses.
