The first one is for setting a limit number of messages within a time interval.

This means that a participant can receive multiple or up to the limit number of messages within a short time. Participant will not receive message if the limit is hit until the stated time interval has passed.

Scenario: I have 100 surveys for participants. Contact frequency is set-up as 100 messages in 30 days.

Behavior: This will allow up to 100 survey invitations to the same participant on the same day within 30 days period.

Result: I can send all 100 surveys invitation and complete it within a short timeframe of minutes or hours.

 

The second one is for setting a requirement for participants to only receive message after duration have passed.

Scenario: I have 100 surveys for participants. Contact frequency is set-up as a day being required based on last invitation.

Behavior: This restricts survey invitations and participant will only receive one survey invitation at maximum each day.

Result: If I were to send out all 100 surveys invitation, I will need a minimum of 100 days to complete.
