Prolific integration w/o FF login

[noah.nelson]

Hello! We have set up an experiment on Finding Five, which participants are redirected to after a Qualtrics survey. We are using Prolific for participants and in a thread from 2021 I saw that there was no way to get the PIDS from Prolific directly into FF. I was wondering if that has changed? A bigger issue is that Prolific policy clearly states that we must give participants all needed login info/ access codes and that they are absolutely not allowed to enter any personal information. Whenever FF is opened, it makes participants sign up / login, and we are having a hard time trying to make that part of FF work with the Prolific policy. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi!

That was true back in 2021, but we have since launched a Prolific integration. It makes it so that participants do not have to sign up with us or input any personal information, and their completion code is automatically sent to Prolific for them after completing the FindingFive portion of the study.

All you need to do is choose a Prolific session when you go to launch a recruitment session of your study. You will then be guided through the process of setting up your FindingFive session alongside your Prolific recruitment task/session. Let me know if you need any screenshots or further guidance.

We hope to have some self-help content demonstrating how to do this in the near future. Such content unfortunately lags behind our actual feature development!

Thanks for using FindingFive!
