How to artificially mimic chat between participants? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello all!

 

I am currently creating a study where I want it to seem to the participant as if they have just received a real-time message from a fellow participant simultaneously taking the survey.  I have tried a couple options to achieve this (exploring pop-ups in Qualtrics, photoshopping graphics/media to add into the survey, and trying to utilize the rich text editor) but none seem to be quite convincing enough.  Ideally, I believe an ideal way to solve this would be to create a large pop-up where I could perhaps add in photoshopped media that mimics a chat interface.  However, any help or guidance in this topic would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks so much!

If you just want to just show the pop up with  message without actual chat option, then you can try  to implement example shown here.


@Shashi, thanks so much for the timely reply!  This is incredibly helpful-however just one quick inquiry- how do I include a prewritten message using this code?  I am a bit new to programming and unsure how I can provide a prewritten message with this.

 

Thanks so much!


We can hide send button and show message by adding text in textarea tag as shown below:

    <textarea placeholder="Type message.." name="msg" required>Hello World!</textarea>
