I am using succesfully GMI (gmi-mr.com), GTM - Global Test Market.

They will redirect their respondents to your Limesurvey survey as following:


1) You provide them your surveylink and sid where you save their panel ID:

www.yourdomain.com/limesurvey/index.php ?sid=48529&48529X3X140=[access_code]&newtest=Y&lang=en

Where [access_code] is their panel ID.
I save that ID in a hidden question sid=48529&48529X3X140


2) They will provide you also the redirect links to their system


For completes:
globaltestmarket.com/20/survey/finished.phtml?ac={INSERTANS :48529X3X140}&sn=XXX&lang=E

ac is their access_code again, you have saved their panel ID already in 48529X3X140 so you will send that value back in their end link. sn=XXX is their studynumber for your project, they will deliver you that ID.

For screeners:
globaltestmarket.com/20/survey/finished....&sn=XXX&lang=E&sco=s

For quotafull:
globaltestmarket.com/20/survey/finished....&sn=XXX&lang=E&sco=o


Because LS doens't have screener exits, I mean if a particular answer is exit, you need to create a quota with quota limit 0.
And you add in there the autoload URL with the link for screeners.

For any other quota you built add the autoload URL with the link for quotafull.

For completes, you first put on the setting "Automatically load URL when survey complete" at the General settings.

And in the "edit survey text elements" at "end url" you enter the link for completes.

Not sure I understand how you register new TOKENS coming in from a URL if the panel vendors sends them?
Do you preload a list of tokens in advance?

These are no tokens. Just IDs for the Panelprovider. You only pass them through so the panel provider knows what incentive has to be paid out to the respondent.

I see.
But you cannot really validate that panelists don't modify those IDs and take the survey multiple times.

You seldom find panel participants, who are eager to fill out surveys more than once. Since most surveys on the world are crappy worded and way to long I see the problem on the other side of the scale. Nonresponse or Nonsenseresponse.

Most of the time the link (from the panelprovider) can be used once, so the security is done on their part.
They just pass the respondent to the survey hosted in your Limesurvey.
The link itself will not be shown to the respondent.
If they have completed the survey the ID is send back and recorded as complete on the panelproviders end.
So if that same respondent wants to participate again, their system will not allow to continue and the redirect itself to the limsurvey survey will not work.
Also the respondent will receive only once their incentive.
So there will not be a reason to fill it more than once.
If they do, you can just easily clean (if you can fill int the survey more then once) it afterwards, every double ID will be removed.
Hope that helps, Dennis

The only way to do this is e.g. loading all panel user IDs into Limesurvey and using the ID as token at Limesurvey.
If you set up Limesurvey to use each token only once, then the token will be marked "used" after submit.

This is rarely used because the work-flow without tokens usually works fine for the reasons mentioned by TwentyTwo.

New plugin event 'beforeSurveyPage' allow us to create token on the fly.

Some provider offer too API json for information from user.

A solution ca be:
- User come with "panel user id"
- Testing if this panel user id exist in token table :
- if yes : go to the survey with the good token
- If no : search with the API for extra user information and create a token with all information
- redirect to the good token

I already done this with www.panelwizard.com API.

...and for the token you are using the passed panel user ID to prevent duplicates and double registrations later?

No,

Actually : i create token with attribute_1 to panel_uid. Whan come with a panel_uid : search on the token table for corresponding token. If exist : redirect, if not create and redirect.

Then token is really hardest to find.

Is there anyone who can help me integrate Research Now panel with my survey? I have redirect URLs for screenouts, completes and overquota. I'm screening out people under 18 years and those outside of a specific province. There are no other quotas. After the first 2000 responses, everyone else should be redirected to the overquota URL.

If you can do this for me, please send me a private message and let me know your fee. I need to launch the survey ASAP.

Thanks,

rvenkat
