This article explains how to use registration in your interactions. In the “Registration” tab, you are able to adjust registration rules and customize the registration fields.


You can use interactions to simply engage your audience or you can require respondents to register in order to see their results - this helps to have a better picture of your audience or convert respondents into leads.


Adjust Registration Rules


In the “Registration” tab you will find two checkboxes which you may choose (or not) to check:



Require Registration - when selected, the participants will be required to register before viewing their results. This checkbox is essential to capture leads & other individual data.


If you check this checkbox you will see the following option:


Require Registration, Even if Previously Registered - when selected, the participants who completed the CredSpark interaction before and already registered will be forced to register again. This option is intended to be used when you want the same member of your audience to either (1) provide additional information about himself/herself beyond what you currently have or (2) register a 2nd time to become a qualified lead for a different sponsor, advertiser or event from the prior registration she completed.  We encourage you to think about this option within the context of how you’d like your ongoing interaction/relationship with the participant to work.


Set Registration Fields as Default - when active, this registration form will default for all interactions that are created in your account. Please only select if your registration questions do not change from interaction to interaction.


Registration Form Headline allows you to change the text which participants will see at the end of the interaction if registration is required before viewing their results.


Don’t forget to save all changes!


This is what the registration page usually looks like by default:



Customize the registration fields
