- Share this URL with respondents (e.g., to your mailing lists or through social media).
- You also have an option to directly share the study on your social media.
- If you protected your study with a password, don’t forget to share that with your respondents as well.
Set up an Onsite Recruiting Widget to recruit directly on your website
The Onsite Recruiting Widget allows you to turn regular visitors from your website into respondents in your studies. The widget works as a tool independent of your study, allowing you to manage recruitment for your studies on multiple domains in one place.
To start using an Onsite Recruiting Widget, click Add Onsite Recruiting to create a new widget with your study assigned as the target of recruitment. The widget will start appearing on your site once you’ve launched both the study and the Recruiting Widget. To learn how to set up your Recruiting Widget, please see the dedicated section.
If you already have Onsite Recruiting Widgets assigned to recruit respondents into your study, you will see them listed here.

How to invite participants from Own Database

Simply import the email addresses of these participants into UXtweak together with any additional information you might want to use for the targeting process.
To set up an invitation batch, click Add Own Database. This will take you directly to the setup of the Own Database recruiting for this study.

Give away coupons as a reward for completing your study
- Coupons are an ideal and simple way how to provide visitors with an incentive to become respondents
- Go to the Rewards tab. Here, you can either enter coupons manually or import them from a CSV file
Use UTF-8 encoded CSV files to ensure that the import works correctly. The simplest way to save your imported file with UTF-8 encoding is to edit it through Google Sheets (click the link for more instructions). To get a UTF-8 encoded file when saving your file in Excel, go to File -> Save As and select CSV UTF-8 before you click Save.
CSV file format example- Each coupon contains an alphanumerical code (of any length, but 250 at most) and an expiration date.
- Coupons won’t be given away anymore once their expiration date has passed.
- Use the Active/Inactive switch to turn the rewards on and off.
- Below the switch, you can monitor the status of your coupons – how many were already used and how many remain.
- Open a List of promo codes to see which coupons were already distributed and who received them. If it’s needed, you can even remove individual coupons.
Motivate your respondents!
Coupons can be imported or added manually, code by code. They will be given to the respondents once they complete the study.
