# Invite Qualified Participants to Your Strella Interview

> Review screener responses and demographics for qualified applicants, then send interview invitations directly from Strella in a few clicks.

Once applicants start coming in, Strella automatically sorts them by qualification status so you can focus on the people most likely to give you great data. Reviewing their details before sending an invitation ensures every interview slot goes to someone who's the right fit.

## How qualified participants appear

Anyone who completes your screener and meets your qualification criteria automatically moves to the **Qualified** tab of the participants table on the **Recruit** page. From there, you can review each applicant before deciding who to invite.

The Qualified tab shows:

* **Demographic information** — Age, location, and other profile details collected during screening
* **Screener responses** — The applicant's full answers to each screener question

<Tip>
  Take a moment to read through screener responses before inviting. Even qualified applicants can vary widely in how well they match your specific research goals—responses reveal context that demographics alone don't capture.
</Tip>

## Send interview invitations

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Qualified tab">
    Navigate to the **Recruit** page and click the **Qualified** tab in the participants table.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review applicant details">
    Click on any applicant row to read their demographic information and screener responses. Repeat for each applicant you're considering.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select participants to invite">
    Check the **checkbox** beside the name of each participant you want to invite. You can select multiple participants at once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the invitation">
    Click **Send Invite** in the action bar that appears at the bottom of the page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Each selected participant will receive an **email notification** letting them know they've been invited to take the interview. They can then access the interview at a time that works for them.

<Note>
  If you turned on **Auto-invite** when setting up your panel order, Strella will automatically send invitations to participants as they qualify—so you won't need to manually select and invite them through this flow.
</Note>

## What happens next

After you send invitations, invited participants move out of the Qualified tab and into the appropriate status column (such as **Invited** or **In Progress**) so you can track who has acted on their invitation. As interviews are completed, results appear in the **Responses** tab for analysis.
