Sona System's ExperimentLink

Set up a new or existing survey study on the Sona website for automatic crediting.

Introduction

The following is a genearal overview of how we link Sona's participant pool software to Surveymonkey

1. Give Sona our external survey URL and ask the system to ADD to that URL a unique (randomized) identifier for each participant.
2. Sona will respond to this by giving you a special survey completion URL that will give the specified participant credit for the survey.
3. Setup Surveymonkey so that when a participant finishes a survey, they are redirected to Sona's completion URL -- thereby giving them credit.

Once these steps are in place for your survey, students will be able to sign-up, complete, and get credit for your survey without any intervention from you.

Note that you need to do this for every external survey separately.

The first section walks through then process of setting up a new survey from scratch. If you already have an existing survey, skip to SECTION 2.
