Creating studies is easy on Positly – researchers can get a new study off the ground in a matter of minutes! The basic steps are as follows:

1. Create your Project 
   • This is the top level container that holds your Runs
2. Create your Run 
   1. Set up Run details including a link to your Activity 
   2. Target the Participants you want
   3. Set the pricing
      • Add credit if you haven’t already 
3. Set it live and watch the results come in! 
   • First you’ll need to copy the Completion link and put it at the end of your Activity 

Once you have created your first Run you can then create more Runs in the same Project and retarget or exclude previous participants.

To finish a Run and receive their incentive, all Participants must finish the Activity by clicking (or being redirected to) the End of activity link. This will automatically approve them as having completed the Activity. Read our integration instructions for common providers or the Completion link article:

• GuidedTrack
• Qualtrics
• SurveyMonkey
• Typeform 
• Google Forms.
