What advantages does the LamaPoll Address Book offer over sending invitations yourself?
You can always share the link to your online survey independently and let it spread organically. Our Address Book, however, offers many advantages that can save you additional time:
Table of Contents
Personalised invitations
You can easily import thousands of contacts into LamaPoll’s Address Book, including forms of address. This makes personalised invitations, reminders and salutations within the questionnaire possible.
Please note: an individual question such as “Hello Mr Müller, you gave answer X. Could you explain this in more detail?” may increase response rates, but it can also put participants off because it reduces their perceived anonymity.
You can of course invite participants individually yourself, with more effort, using Outlook’s mail merge function.
Analysis by attributes
If you already have relevant information about participants, you do not need to ask for it again. Simply upload the appropriate attributes for each participant.
Example: If you assign each participant the attribute “Department X”, you can later filter the results accordingly.
For anonymous surveys, only use attributes that apply to more than five participants. It must not be possible to identify a participant afterwards.
Invitations by attributes
Attribute assignments can also be very useful when you send invitations.
Find guidance here on inviting participants using attributes without LamaPoll
Example: With the “English” attribute, you can send English-speaking participants an email tailored to English. Participants can then be directed to the appropriate language version of the survey.
This is what your Address Book import file could look like:

Attribute-driven logic
You can also control questionnaire logic through attributes: participants with attribute X jump to page X, while participants with attribute Y see question Y.
Targeted reminder emails
When you invite participants through LamaPoll, you can later remind only those who have not yet started or completed the online survey. You do not have to contact every participant. You can also thank people who completed the survey, for example with a voucher. Anonymity is maintained because you do not know which participant receives which email.
