Activity links let you invite people outside of your community to complete activities.
Create an activity link outside of an email invitation or reminder, which you can then share with anyone you want in any way. With activity links, you can:
- Allow nonmembers to complete an ad hoc activity.
- Distribute an activity using a market sample purchased from a vendor.
- Create activities for side projects unrelated to your community's activities.
Anyone who has an open activity link can access the survey and complete it. Participants' responses and participation data are tracked separately from your community's activity data.
Activity links gather data anonymously. Members and nonmembers alike can complete the survey through a live activity link multiple times. On the back end, each response received through an activity link is stored as a response from a new anonymous nonmember. There is no way to connect an activity link response to a member, unless you append an identity variable to the activity link.
