Set Up

Redcap has a concept Instruments and Events, and designating these events to individual instruments (all done through "Edit Instruments" on redcap. We actually use each instrument to send emails to the participant, and we're only able to send conditional emails when we designate events. The Instruments are the following:

Consent form

Accessed through link that gets clicked on through FB ad. Describes the study and requests info about participant (email being most important).

Initial CDI

Sent immediately once consent form is submitted. This contains link to webcdi which will create a new administration. Researcher & study are hardcoded in the link; record ID & email are filled in by redcap. You can change the link to point to dev or local for testing.

Wordful emails

3 of them, sent a week apart, and a few days after initial CDI email. These contain reminders to use the Wordful app, with the first email instructing the participant to download the app.

Final CDI

Sent a month after initial CDI email. Contains a query parameter "final_cdi=true". Link also hardcodes researcher / study, with record ID / email being filled in by redcap.

Configuration

Go to Edit instruments -> Automated invitations -> Modify to change the timing in between emails. If you want to test, you'll most likely have emails sent immediately after consent form is submitted. For the real thing, have them spaced about a week apart.

Change links if you want to test on webcdi-dev.stanford.edu first.
