External Study Credit Granting with iMotions

While these instructions refer to “credit granting”, they work for both credit and paid studies. For paid studies, participation will be marked (instead of credit granted) just like with any other paid study.

Here are the basic steps, which are subject to change (since the product is controlled by iMotions):

  1. On your Sona Systems site, change the Study URL so it includes &survey_code=%SURVEY_CODE% in the URL. So if the iMotions URL is:
    • https://my.imotions.com/collect/v17/abcd?iMotionsStimulusBlock=Study%20Flow

    then change it to

    • https://my.imotions.com/collect/v17/abcd?iMotionsStimulusBlock=Study%20Flow&survey_code=%SURVEY_CODE%
  2. Having completed Step 1, the Study Information on your Sona Systems site now displays a URL labeled “iMotions Study completed URL”. In iMotions, configure the Redirect Options and choose the “Redirect to a specific URL once the study has been completed” option. Provide the iMotions Study completed URL from your Sona Systems site. The iMotions Study completed URL should look something like this:
    https://yourschool.sona-systems.com/webstudy_credit.aspx?experiment_id=123&credit_token=4e48f9b638a&${query}

The iMotions Study completed URL provided by the system should be sufficient to paste directly into iMotions.
