Main article: The Hub participant experience
Hub makes research easier for you and your users. Participants can easily apply to your study and submit a screener. You can manually approve applicants one by one, or switch on auto-approve based on screener questions. Either way, approved participants can schedule themselves for time slots that fit your team's availability. If your study is a task participants complete on their own time, you can automate sending them instructions.
Your customers will experience Research Hub as if it’s an extension of your brand. There are lots of customization options, like branding, email templates, data consent notices, and domain authentication.
You no longer need to juggle spreadsheets, emails, scheduling apps, and customer databases owned by other teams. Instead, you’ll have a single source of truth to manage recruitment and participation in studies. Here's how to set up your Hub panel for success!
First, import your users to Hub (more tips here). along with any data you’ll find helpful for recruiting. The following types of data can be handy:
Research Hub is built to be flexible. Once you've imported your users, you can create custom columns in the database to store any kind of user data that’s important to you, and you can apply custom filters and labels to find the right participants for your study.
💡 Hub tracks participation for you: who’s added to which studies, who participates, how they answer screeners, and how much they’ve earned in incentives. All this info is available as you filter your panel.
It's free to add up to 100 users to Hub. As your panel grows, you can upgrade to one of our affordable subscriptions.
