Hi,
I have two questions about SMS messages that I am struggling to get working:
-
We would like to send a welcome message to certain groups of
participants, but not all. When I include just one group of participants,
the message works, but when I try to include more than one group, it does
not work. Is there any way I can use the 'Case property' statement to
identify more than one group at a time? Or do I need to make a separate
message for each group of participants? Or is there some other way to do
this?
-
We would like to send an exit message to participants when they are
finally removed from the study. This was set up for us, but isn't working.
My best guess as to why it isn't working is that it is meant to be
triggered by the completion of the withdrawal form, but of course the
completion of this form closes the case. Is there any way to work around
this, or other explanations I should explore?
Thank you!
Julia
Hi Sheel,
Thanks so much for the feedback - I'll implement this in line with your
suggestions.
Much appreciated,
