How to return participants from Qualzy to a Rival chat?

Setting up the return and passing data back to Rival

Updated today

Overview

After participants complete a Qualzy activity, you can return them to Rival to continue their study.

This allows you to:

  • combine qualitative activities with the rest of your Rival chat flow

  • guide participants through multi-step studies across both platforms

  • maintain a connected and structured participant experience

How it works

The full participant journey looks like:

  1. participant starts in Rival

  2. participant is redirected to Qualzy

  3. participant completes one or more Qualzy activities

  4. participant is redirected back to Rival to continue the study

To enable this, you configure a return (redirect) step in Qualzy that sends participants back to the correct place in your Rival chat.

Setting up the return flow in Qualzy

Step 1: Add a redirect URL

When configuring your Qualzy project, you will need to provide a Redirect URL that points back to your Rival chat.

  • use your Rival chat re-entry URL

  • this URL determines where the participant resumes in the chat

Step 2: Pass required variables

You can pass participant data back to Rival by appending variables to the redirect URL. Make sure the variable names match the input variables you have created in Rival.

Step 3: Configure redirect button text

In your Qualzy setup:

  • set Redirect URL Text to something like:
    “Please click here to return to chat”

This is the button participants will use to return to Rival.

Step 4: Add a completion step at the end of your Qualzy activities

At the end of your Qualzy flow, create a final step to return participants to Rival.

Create an Information activity with:

  • Title: Complete

  • Instruction Heading: Thank You

  • Instruction Text: ##REDIRECTBUTTON##

This will display a button that redirects participants back to Rival using the configured URL.
