Daisy-chaining Pavlovia and Qualtrics

Sometimes you may want to run part of your experiment on Qualtrics (e.g., questionnaires) and part in PsychoPy/Pavlovia (e.g., behavioral tasks). This is often called daisy-chaining experiments.

This page provides guidance and resources for setting up such workflows.

Overview

Daisy-chaining typically involves:

1. Starting participants in Qualtrics

2. Redirecting them to a Pavlovia experiment

3. Returning them to Qualtrics (if needed) to complete surveys or record responses

• YouTube tutorial: Qualtrics → Pavlovia → Qualtrics workflow

• PsychoPy forum discussion: Qualtrics to PsychoPy back to Qualtrics

Recommended alternative: Pavlovia Surveys

For many use cases, we recommend using Pavlovia Surveys.

• Pavlovia Surveys allows you to import Qualtrics QSF files directly.

• This can simplify your workflow and reduce the need for multiple redirects.

• Video tutorials for Pavlovia Surveys: YouTube playlist
