Many experience sampling studies rely on scheduled email reminders sent to participants at regular intervals. Avicenna supports this approach through [Public Triggering Logic](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/triggering-logics/1238#p-2865-public-tl-18), which allows participants to complete surveys without creating an Avicenna account or installing the app.

## The Situation

You are a researcher studying daily mood changes in response to stress. You want to collect data regularly, but not all participants are willing to install a mobile app.

## What to Do?

Here’s how to configure Avicenna to handle this:

**1. Set up your [survey](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/step-3-create-your-first-survey/1214):**

- Go to your study’s **Activities tab**.

- Click **[Create New Activity](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/activities/1237#p-2864-create-activities-2)**.

- Name your survey (e.g., “Daily Mood Check”).

- Add your desired questions.

**2. Configure a [Public Triggering Logic](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/triggering-logics/1238#p-2865-public-tl-18):**

- Go to the **Triggering Logics section**.

- Delete the existing [User Triggering Logic](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/triggering-logics/1238#p-2865-user-tl-4).

- Under **Add a new Triggering Logic** , select **Public**.

- The system will generate a **Public Survey Link**.

- Include the public link in your participant emails.

**3. Publish your survey.**

- Go to the **Preview & Publish tab** and publish your survey.
- Your survey is now live and accessible via the the public survey link.

**4. Set Up Email Distribution.**

- Option A: Manual Email Sending

- Option B: Use External Email Tools

## Pro Tip

Here’s a ready-to-use email template you can personalize for your study:

```auto
Subject: Daily Survey Reminder - [Study Name]

Dear Participant,

This is your daily reminder to complete the [Study Name] survey.

Please click the link below to access today's survey:
[Your Public Survey Link]

The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your participation!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
[Your Institution]
