Embedded Variables as Participant Payment/Automated Bonus Payments with Prolific

Hello,
I have a paradigm that includes some random monetary outcomes where participants receive varying bonus payments based on these random outcomes.
Participant 1 might earn $1 bonus payment.
Participant 2 might earn a $.25 bonus payment.
Etc.
These bonus payments are in an embedded variable on my Qualtrics survey. Does anyone have experience with automatically adding a Qualtrics variable to their participants' Prolific payments?

Include the values of bonus payment in different embedded data element and add a randomizer to pick one and pipe the embedded data as needed.
Hope it helps!

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/52660#Comment_52660This doesn't address communication with Prolific at all. The randomness is already set and functional. The issue is sending that information to Prolific.

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/52661#Comment_52661Sorry I misunderstood the question. If it's an external platform you need to check for the API enablement in it and use webservice tast to update the prolific payment .
Hope it helps!

On returning to Prolific you can ask participants to paste a completion code (rather than redirect via URL); you could set these to be assigned through your randomisation. Then, over on Prolific, they will paste the codes and you will see these on your Prolific project interface.

On your participant list on Prolific you could then select all the participants with the $25 code and award them a bonus payment.
