Some suppliers are able to dynamically consume, store, and screen respondents using a supply API endpoint.  Creating good targeting questions will increase conversion & the overall respondent experience.

Considerations

  • Access to creating attributes is limited to select Buyers where this feature needs to be enabled and access is granted to specific users within that organization. Contact your Account Manager for more details on getting access.

  • Qualifications are shared across surveyLocalizations on PureSpectrum.  For example, we use the same code for b2b employment in the US/English, that we use in Japanese Japan.

  • Condition codes when appropriate are also shared across localizations

  • A condition code may have different text across different localizations

  • Even though the codes may be the same, we represent these questions/answers using the appropriate language/localization

  • We only currently support 3 question types in this api call: Singlepunch, Singlepunch-alt, & Multipunch

    • singlepunch is presented as a dropdown.  Singlepunch-alt and Multipunch are shown in push-button form
