If you want to show a text, enable the option 'Display this default final screen to participants'.

In the 'Coupons', you can enter up to 2,000 to give out to participants. The code can be numerical or alphanumeric. You must enter them one by one, separated by commas or one on each line, in the field 'Discount vouchers'.

You can also include personalized variables.
3.5. Give the same coupon to different groups of participants according to their answers.
Another option is to distribute one coupon/code or another, depending on the final screen the participant gets from a quiz or questionnaire. In the 'Final Screen' section, enable the option '' and click on 'Individual final screen management'. set up and create the different result screens with the different codes, which you will distribute according to these premises:
- If the participants have marked a certain category of answers
- If the participants have obtained a certain score.
- If the participants already have certain codes in their possession and want to validate them.
Click on 'Manage individual final screens' and then on 'Add new screen'. Configure each screen, setting the category, score or code that the participants will have to obtain or enter (in case of validation and codes), in order to be shown one or another final screen.
- In a point-based quiz or gamification: the minimum and maximum score that the participant must obtain to see that screen. For example, a result screen for those who score from 0 to 4 points, another for 5-8 points, and a final screen for 9-10 points.
- In a quiz with categories: the category that the participant had to mark the most to see that screen. For example, in a personality quiz with four answer choices per question, there will be four categories: A, B, C and D.
- In a campaign with a validation code: the code that the participant had to enter to see that screen.
You should also customize the design that each of these screens will have. You can include text, images or HTML.
