Improvement

Video interview analysis and billing improvements

Improvement

Invoice and participant verification improvements

Improved invoice generation timing and enhanced participant verification workflows for studies with manual approval.

Improvements

  • Invoice generation timing: Invoices are now generated when you accept a participant, not when they complete screening. This gives you more control over the billing process.
  • LinkedIn verification for manual studies: For studies where auto-invite is disabled, participant LinkedIn profiles are now automatically verified in the background and stored with screening responses. This helps streamline manual review workflows.
  • Invoice detail view: The invoice detail drawer has been redesigned for better clarity and usability.
