Invite rules are available on all Hub Custom Subscriptions and are a standardized criteria your team can set to make sure you’re inviting the right participants at the right time for Hub projects. These rules will automatically apply to all Hub study invites sent by your team, and are a great way to create consistency in who you invite across all your team’s studies. 

Examples of Invite Rules you can set

Only invite participants who:

• Were last invited more than 30 days ago
• Last applied more than 90 days ago
• Haven’t completed a study with you before
• Haven’t been paid more than $100 in incentives
• Fit your ideal participant persona based on custom field criteria

Who has access to set Invite Rules and Invite Limits?

Research teams on a paid Hub Custom subscription can access Hub invite rules. At this time, only team admins can set rules. To learn more about admin roles and permissions, please see our support page. 

Note: if your team has not specified roles, every team member has admin privileges by default. 

How do Invite Rules work? 

Invite rules are automatically applied when anyone on your team invites a participant to a study. If a participant does not meet the criteria, we will not invite them to your study. When inviting participants to a project, we'll show how many people were invited based on your Hub invite rules, filters, and unsubscribes in the invite modal.

We'll also share how many participants were not invited specifically from Hub invite rules in the success email after you've invited participants to your project.

How do I create, view, or update an Invite Rule?

You can get as granular as you need to with your invite rules, and create combinations based on your participants’ project history, participant information, or your custom fields.

You can view your team’s current invite rules in the top bottom left corner of your Hub panel.

Click “Show rules” to view any invite rules your team currently has.

Note: Keep in mind that when you're creating an invite rule, you'll be creating a statement similar to "Invite participants if [X] is true," rather than "Do not invite participants if [X] is true." The invite rules function as a command of who is eligible to receive a project invitation and therefore automatically exclude others who do not fit the criteria. This is an important distinction to ensure the rules / statements are written correctly.
