Sending reminders can significantly improve participant compliance in longitudinal, real-world studies. Allowing participants to choose how often they receive these reminders respects their preferences and can further boost engagement.

## The Situation

You are running a study where participants need to complete a specific survey—for example, “Carb Intake”—every day. You want to send them In-App reminders, but you also want to let them choose whether they receive one, two, or three reminders per day. You plan to ask their preference in a “Baseline Survey” administered at the start of the study.

## What to Do?

Here’s how to configure Avicenna to handle this need:

1. **[Create a Baseline Survey](https://forum.avicennaresearch.com/t/create-a-baseline-survey-in-avicenna/1202):**

2. **Create the Experience Sampling Survey:**

3. **Add a Triggering Logic (TL) to the Target Survey:**

4. **Add Notification Templates to the Experience Sampling Survey:**

5. Now, if the participant chooses, for example, “2” in the Baseline Survey question, they will receive two notifications, one the moment the Carb Intake survey is prompted, and another one as a reminder two hours later, if they don’t take care of the survey.
