Invitation group - Invited people
Previous Topic  Next Topic 


The invited person lists tab defines the prospective respondent invited by the group.


Invited respondents


Defines the people invited to take the survey. Invited respondents are entered as lists from the address book. Respondents can be added one a time to the invitation group by using option "Add person to list". Note that when "Add person to list" is selected, respondents added to the invitation group are also added in a list in the address book.


To start adding respondent, use the "New" tool. To remove a list of people from the invitation group, use the "Delete" tool.

Sending of invitations to  people previously invited

Defines if email invitations other than reminders can be sent multiple times to the same respondent.

For most surveys, it is generally not a good idea to send more than one invitation email to a single person. For surveys where respondents are expected to answer multiple times at regular time intervals, it is useful to allow multiple invitation emails to the same person.

The options available for this field are:

  • Do not send to people invited previously: if this option is checked, then no email will be sent to prospective respondent invited previously.
  • Send only to invitees who have not responded and to new invitees: if this option is checked, invitations will be sent to people not yet invited and people invited previously but who have not yet responded to the survey. Note that people who have started responding to the survey but have not completed the survey will not be invited.
  • Send invitations even if respondents were invited previously: if the option is checked, multiple invitations to the same respondents are allowed, regardless of whether they have responded to the survey or not.

Invitation responded when

Specifies the logic for considering that the respondent has responded to the invitation sent to them. Note that when the participant has responded to an invitation, no further reminders will be sent to them.

  • Invitation link is clicked in email: the respondent has clicked on the invitation link in the email and has reached the first page in the survey.
  • A question is answered: the respondent has answered at least one question in the survey.
  • Survey is completed: the respondent has reached the end of the survey.
