Quick Question how-to

Quick Questions allow you to ask up to three questions to your users at any point in your app. Currently available question types include:

  • Multiple choice (single-select or multi-select)
  • Open-ended text responses

Follow the steps below to set up your first Quick Question:

Step 1: Create a currency​

If you haven't already, create a currency for rewarding users.

Step 2: Create a placement​

Ensure you have a placement created for where the Quick Question will appear. A placement defines the physical location in your app (e.g., home screen, earn center).

Important: Quick Questions must be attached to a placement whose Placement type is "Pop-up", not "Survey wall". Unlike survey walls, Quick Questions are triggered automatically to users matching your targeting criteria—they don't require a button click.

  2. Select "Quick Questions"
The Create content dialog with the Quick Questions option

Question guidelines​

Multiple Choice Questions:

  • No character limit on questions or answers, but check the preview to ensure readability
  • No limit on answer options, but consider user experience (more options = more scrolling)
  • Best practice: Keep answer options to 7 or fewer for optimal data quality
  • Use the randomize toggle to avoid order bias and maintain data integrity

Open-Ended Questions:

  • Answers are limited to 250 characters

Step 5: Configure display settings​

Once your questions are composed:

  1. Navigate to the "Configure" tab
  2. Choose the platform(s) (iOS, Android, etc.)
  3. Select the placement where the Quick Question will be shown

Step 6: Set up rewards​

Determine whether to reward users for answering the Quick Question, and if so, specify the reward amount.

Choose whether to include a link to the TapResearch survey wall at the end of the Quick Question. This allows users to continue to more survey opportunities.

Note:

  • You can select any currency that has an associated survey wall in your app
  • The currency can differ from the one used for Quick Question rewards

Step 8: Configure response settings​

Set your response limits:

  • Cap the number of participants
  • Set an end date/time for the Quick Question

Step 9: Define target audience​

Specify which users will see this Quick Question based on their attributes.
