Sample the Moments That Matter

Fixed pings, random intervals, participant-initiated surveys, and response-contingent schedules that begin the moment something happens, all running side by side in one project. Here's what that could look like.

Features Built for Real-World Research

Scheduling

  • Ecological momentary assessment schedulesSend several pings a day for as many days as your protocol needs.
  • Longitudinal schedulesPing every few days, weeks, months, or years, on the weekdays you pick.
  • Dynamic, response-contingent schedulesTime pings from the moment a schedule starts, in minutes, hours, or days, to capture episodes that happen at unpredictable times.
  • Participant-initiated surveysParticipants start a survey from a button on their dashboard whenever an event happens, with your own button text, color, instructions, and display hours.
  • Mix and match schedulesApply several schedules to the same participant, such as daily EMA pings, a monthly follow-up, and a participant-initiated survey, all running side by side.
  • Fixed and random-interval pingsSend pings at set times or at a random time inside a window you choose, and mix both in one schedule.
  • Minimum buffer between random pingsKeep random pings from landing too close together.
  • Same schedule every day, by weekday, or by study dayRepeat one daily schedule, vary pings across the week to fit sleep and work routines, or give every study day its own schedule.
  • Measurement burst designsDelay when each schedule starts after enrollment to chain bursts, gaps, and follow-ups automatically.
  • Unlimited schedules per projectBuild as many schedules as your design needs.
  • Quiet hoursHold event-contingent pings outside the hours you allow, such as before 6am or after 8pm.
  • Survey expirationClose each ping after a set time so late responses do not reach your survey.
  • Schedule analysisSpot incomplete or impossible pings, such as reminders that outlast the expiration, before you launch.

Adaptive and personalized schedules

  • Just-in-time adaptive interventionsStart, stop, pause, and restart schedules from inside your survey based on what a participant reports, so support arrives the moment it is needed.
  • No-code dynamic triggersActivate, deactivate, mute, or unmute other schedules when a participant clicks a ping, with no survey code at all.
  • Automatic trigger resetUndo a trigger after a set number of minutes or at a set time of day, whichever comes first.
  • Mute and unmute without losing placePause a schedule for one participant and pick up exactly where they would have been.
  • Automatic or manual schedule applicationApply a schedule to every new participant at enrollment, or only to the people and study arms you choose.
  • Personalized start day and timeAdjust when each participant's schedule begins to fit their own routine.
  • Local time zonesPings follow each participant's own time zone, including daylight saving changes.
  • Within-person randomizationSend each ping or each study day a random sequence number, sampled without replacement, to drive within-person experiments.

Survey platform integrations

  • Integrate with your favorite survey platformWorks with Qualtrics, REDCap, SurveyMonkey, Typeform, and any survey with a web link.
  • Automatic survey parametersEvery ping carries participant, project, schedule, ping, day, and reminder numbers into your survey data.
  • Custom survey parametersAttach your own values to each participant, like an experimental condition, and change them from your survey as responses come in.
  • Survey completion trackingTell Inclivio when a survey is finished, and stop reminders only once it is complete.
  • Schedule activation and mute APIsTrigger schedules from a web service call in your survey flow.
  • Email APIEmail participants, coordinators, or clinicians from inside your survey, for example when a response needs follow-up.

Notifications and reminders

  • Text message, WhatsApp, email, and push notificationsNotify participants on the channels they already use, with no app download required.
  • Any combination of channelsSend each ping on one channel or several at once, such as a text message and an email together, so participants see it wherever they look first.
  • Project-wide default channelsChoose the channels every participant in your project starts with.
  • Channels customized per participantChange the channels for any participant, for example push for app users and WhatsApp for participants abroad, without touching anyone else's.
  • Native iOS and Android appsParticipants can take part through our mobile apps and receive push notifications.
  • Reminders for every pingSet how many reminders each ping sends and how far apart they are.
  • Remind until clicked or completedStop reminders when the participant opens the survey, or keep going until they finish it.
  • Custom notification messagesWrite your own text, email, and push messages with fields for the survey link, project name, day, ping number, and expiration time.
  • Participant dashboardParticipants see their available surveys and when each one expires in one place.

Encrypted participant messaging

  • End-to-end encrypted conversationsMessage participants inside the app. Messages are encrypted on the sender's device so only your team and the participant can read them.
  • One shared team inboxEveryone on the study team can read and reply to participants without sharing a login.
  • Messaging permissionsChoose which collaborators can view messages and which can send them.
  • Replies, reactions, edits, and searchReply to a specific message, react, edit or delete what you sent, and search a conversation.
