Make sure that the subject doesn&#8217;t sound like spam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Text body &#8211; use the body of your email to describe the details of your study to your potential participant. Mentioning a reward will increase the interest of your potential participants in your study.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Action button &#8211; choose the text of the button in the email that will redirect your participants into your study. You can also change the color of the button here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signature &#8211; this will be appended at the end of your email to let your participants know who is inviting them to participate in a study. You can customize the branding logo by uploading your own image in the setup (available only on certain plans).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b style=\"box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;\">Thank you email<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>&#8211; Sent to your participants after they complete your study.

The links can lead either to your website or can be set up as a mail to link as well.
