Step 1 — Create a plan for sharing your Scale Studio.
When preparing to launch your Scale Studio to your contacts, you'll want to consider how you intend to share it with them. There are a couple of ways you can do this:
Send the link directly, either by sending the full URL, or by hyperlinking it to a piece of text in an internal communication such as an email, Teams post, or Slack post.
You can send invites directly from the Scale Dashboard, by creating a Contact List and sending the invites to an entire list, or by sending individual invites using the invite button on your dashboard.
Step 2 — Prepare your contacts.
Whether you plan to share the link internally or send the invite from the dashboard, we suggest letting your contacts know what to expect.
If you are sharing the link directly, you can include an explanation and user walkthrough & tips in an email or a team message along with the link.

Step 3 — Encourage participation.
Lastly, in order to increase participation in a timely manner, we suggest giving your contacts a deadline to have this completed. You can add this to your launch messaging email to ensure they are aware of the deadline.
Pro Tip!
If you are experiencing difficulty encouraging your contacts to submit, you can set up Admin Notifications from your dashboard. This would require an initial invite to be sent from the dashboard, so be sure that you have invited your contacts from the dashboard prior to having this set up.
