💡 Set up Scheduling for a Study to allow Participants to automatically book interviews based on your configurations and host availability.

Interview Studies allow for flexible scheduling for research interviews, including manual interview booking options.

  • Manually book an interview for a Participant without them needing to schedule it themselves.

  • Book an interview while bypassing host availability, interview limits, & other scheduling restrictions created in the Study.

  • Log historical interview(s) that happened in the past, or outside of Rally, so that a Participant’s history stays up to date.
