Instructions for integrating Pollfish with Positly
Positly and Pollfish work seamlessly together. Positly sends pre-screened participants to Pollfish to complete an activity, and then Pollfish redirects participants back to Positly to confirm completion and provide feedback.
At each stage of the process, data can be dynamically shared between Positly and Pollfish using query strings. This integration provides several benefits:
- Faster activity completion
- Richer datasets, as pre-screened participant attributes from Positly are carried into Pollfish
- Improved accuracy, with screening handled upfront to prevent participants from gaming the screener
- Easier data cleaning and preparation (no manual joins needed)
- Ability to retarget or exclude participants in Positly based on custom attributes received from Pollfish
Receiving Positly’s Participant data in Pollfish
By default, Pollfish automatically receives basic participant data from Positly, no setup required.
