REDCap Integration
Inclivio sends several survey parameters to your participants' surveys to help you track survey completion, structure the flow of your survey, and capture metadata in your final dataset. These values are sent in the form of key/value pairs in the survey URL. REDCap reads these values through hidden text box fields that you add to your survey.

Important: use a separate REDCap project for your EMA study
You need to create a separate REDCap project for your EMA surveys. Do not add your EMA surveys to the REDCap project that holds the rest of your study's surveys.
You cannot use REDCap's participant tracking features (such as record IDs or the participant list) to identify participants.
Instead, you will use the participantidsurvey parameter that Inclivio sends with every ping to keep track of who is who.
Recommended Setup
The best way to integrate REDCap with Inclivio is to create two separate projects, one for your EMA surveys and another for the rest of your survey batteries. In your separate EMA project within REDCap, you will ignore the automatically generated record ID and instead use Inclivio's participantid to identify the participant for each response.
To link the two REDCap projects together, you can keep a local crosswalk of each participant's REDCap record ID and their Inclivio participantid. Alternatively, you can add a custom survey parameter for each participant with their REDCap record ID, which will add their REDCap record ID into each response.
