Enrol into audience

The Enrol into audience flow control adds an email address collected during a survey to one of your audiences. It is intended for surveys where you want to grow a mailing list from respondents who have provided a valid email, for example to invite them to follow-up studies, send them a report, or add them to a newsletter.

Only audiences that have the Auto-enrol new contacts setting turned on can receive contacts from this flow control. You must have co-owner or primary owner access to the target audience.

What does “Enrol into audience” do?

When the flow control is reached during a survey:

1. The email address resolved from the configured formula is evaluated.
2. If the value is a syntactically valid email, the address is added to the selected audience as a new contact (subject to the audience’s auto-enrolment rules).
3. If the value is missing, invalid, or empty, no contact is added and the respondent continues through the survey normally.

The flow control does not redirect, terminate, or otherwise affect the respondent’s path. Like other flow controls, it is informational from the respondent’s perspective.

The addition happens regardless of the terminal status of the respondent (but they must submit their answer).

Settings of this control

• Audience: A dropdown listing audiences to which you have co-owner or primary owner access and that have the Auto-enrol new contacts setting turned on. Audiences that do not meet both criteria are not shown.
• Email address: A field where you insert a pipe-in formula that resolves to the email address to enrol. Most commonly, this formula references the answer to an earlier Email address question, for example answer(<email_question_id>).
