Steps

Open Recruit participants
From the Share tab, select Recruit participants to access the Prolific integration.
Configure recruitment
Set your target sample size, screening criteria, and study description. QuestionPunk generates the appropriate Prolific study configuration.
Connect SampleNinja (optional)
In survey settings, open the Integrations tab and find Panel integration to configure SampleNinja. Use Full URL signing, choose a hash algorithm (SHA-256 recommended, SHA-1, or MD5), and map demographic variables. Entry signature validation is required, and the exit URL must be HTTPS on an approved SampleNinja domain.
Monitor recruitment
Watch quotas and recruitment progress in the survey dashboard. Adjust screening criteria if needed to hit your target sample.

Prolific provides pre-vetted, demographically diverse participants for research studies. The integration handles study setup, participant routing, and completion tracking.

Use Prolific for academic research that requires paid participants, specific demographics, or large sample sizes.

SampleNinja integration is available in survey settings under Integrations > Panel integration. It supports entry/exit URL signing (SHA-256, SHA-1, MD5), demographic variable mapping, and reconciliation CSV exports for panel management.

Monitor recruitment progress in the survey dashboard and adjust screening if needed to hit quotas.

Prolific studies don't send the recruitment.* or panel.submission.* events listed in webhooks. Use response.completed to react to each finished response.
