I've loved Qualtrics for its versatility. I use it for workflow, a Ride Share app, and Permits! We used it for student government elections. Now we are trying to see if we can use it to run an Online Auction. Anyone have experience with this? Anyone have ideas? Currently we're only auctioning one item, but I think it would be neat to figure out how to do multiple.For the single item some things we'd like to do:Show the high bid when someone opens the formGive them a confirmation of their bid (easy with triggers/actions)_Give them a live feed to see the High Bid and who has it (using respondent created "username" and Public Report)Allow them to enter a new bid without having to establish a new (or the same) username - it should remember who they areKeep two respondents from choosing the same Username ("sorry that name is taken, try adding a number to it)Send out a reminder to everyone who has bid when we're getting close to the endSend a note when they are outbidAny ideas?

DebbyLewis No responses here, but we did get it to work... Not with all the functionality we wanted though. See my notes to each function.Show the high bid when someone opens the form - INSTEAD we created a public report with the High Bid and put that on the website where they click the link to bid. That way they always see what the highest bid currently is.Give them a confirmation of their bid (easy with triggers/actions)_ - DONE with triggersGive them a live feed to see the High Bid and who has it (using respondent created "username" and Public Report) - DONE through the report which also can be shown in the survey...but we push them to the site so they can see if their bid is now the high bid or if they got bounced already.Allow them to enter a new bid without having to establish a new (or the same) username - it should remember who they are - THIS we didn't do. We could have using a Contact List Trigger though...I would have them enter a username and email and then authenticate. If both match, they're good to go. If not, we tell them the Username is already taken. If neither is there, we create a new Contact List record for them.Keep two respondents from choosing the same Username ("sorry that name is taken, try adding a number to it) - NO - But see 4 above for a solution.Send out a reminder to everyone who has bid when we're getting close to the end - CAN DO - with the Contact List trigger, can do a mailing pretty simply to all those who had bid.Send a note when they are outbid - DIDN'T DO - a little tricky because if we do it each time, you would only need to let the previous leader know.

Hello, mklubeck Did you ever get a response to your online auction question? I just got a request today for an online auction and need many of the same features you mentioned. DebbyLewis
