Quest Anatomy
Every quest contains a configuration object with the following components:
Researchers can also use the quest workspace to:
- review participants and cohort assignments
- update participant lifecycle status
- monitor collected datasets
- configure a compact baseline / follow-up schedule for cohorts
- review simple due / overdue compliance state
Prompts are no longer required to create or save a quest. This means you can run experiment-only, onboarding-only, or recording-focused studies without adding scheduled surveys first.
Quest Lifecycle
- Draft — Quest is created and saved but not yet visible to participants
- Published — Quest is live and accessible via its URL (consumes credits — see Pricing)
- Participant operations — Researchers manage participants, cohorts, and schedule/compliance state
- Data collection — Participants submit prompts, onboarding responses, experiments, recordings, and health data
- Unpublished — Quest is taken offline; existing data is preserved
Organization Scope
Every quest belongs to an organization. When creating a quest, you select the organization using a dropdown. All billable actions on the quest (publishing, participant joins, data submissions) are charged to the quest’s organization.You must create an organization before creating a quest. See Creating an Organization to get started.
