Together, User Interviews and Sprig are empowering teams to collect high-quality insights from the right users—fast. With this integration, you can recruit from a pool of 2.1+ million participants for the moments where testing requires a more targeted audience, or simply a fresh user perspective. Or, use Research Hub to manage your panel when testing with your own users.
This integration optimizes your entire research workflow across the two tools. Here’s how it works:
- Build a concept test, usability test, or survey in the Sprig platform. With Sprig, you can test across the product development lifecycle (pre and post launch).
- Find the right participants for your study. Test with your own customers or source from our 2.1 million+ panel with detailed consumer and professional targeting.
- Send your study to participants, and capture real-time user insights. Automate the entire flow from invite to incentives.
- Track progress and access task recordings from a single place. Let our integration do the work of tracking participants across platforms.
How to use the Sprig integration
🔌 Connect the Sprig integration and link to surveys from User Interviews
1. If you haven't already, connect your Sprig account to User Interviews by navigating to your Account settings and clicking on the "integrations" tab. From there, scroll down to find the Sprig integration, click "connect" and follow the prompts.
2. Once you’ve connected accounts, create a new unmoderated project in User Interviews. Navigate to Research Design > Research Activity.
3. Find the "task platform" section and click "edit." A drawer will open up with a list of tools you can connect. If you haven't already connected your account, you'll be able to do that here by clicking "connect Sprig account" and following the prompts.
4. If your Sprig account is connected, select Sprig and specify which task to link in the project builder.
1. Connect accounts: To get started, connect your User Interviews and Sprig accounts from the integrations page. To find the integrations page, click on your username at the bottom of the left navigation bar, click "Account settings" and then navigate to the integrations tab.
Note that accounts are connected at the individual user level, not at the team or organizational level.
2. Launch a project: Once you’ve connected accounts, create a new unmoderated project in User Interviews. Navigate to Research Design > Research Activity.
Find the "task platform" section and click "edit." A drawer will open up with a list of tools you can connect. If you haven't already connected your account, you'll be able to do that here by clicking "connect Sprig account" and following the prompts. If your Sprig account is connected, select Sprig and specify which task to link in the project builder.
And that’s it! Your survey has been successfully linked.
3. Collect responses: When a participant creates a recording or completes a study in Sprig, the following information will be automatically tracked and displayed within the User Interviews dashboard. You can find it on the “Participant tracking'' page in the Participant Management section.
- Link to recording or study
- Start time
- Duration
- Status (completed)
This will make it much easier to identify which participants have completed the survey, and allow you to quickly review responses, mark completion, issue incentives, and wrap up your project.
4. Analyze data: To help with analysis, we’ve added a unique identifier for each participant on a project so it’s easy to combine your User Interviews data and Sprig data into one single dataset for analysis.
This unique identifier is a randomly generated set of numbers and letters that will show as an additional data column (labeled “iid”) in both User Interviews (Participant Project Export) and Sprig data exports. These identifiers allow researchers to connect participant data across tools for analysis—and keep any PII data hidden, if necessary.
