# App Interview Prompt

> Maximize User Interview Participation with App Interview Prompts

The Interview Prompt picks a specific group of users — power users, say — and invites them to a call, in the product rather than by email.

## Purpose

An email invite competes with everything else in an inbox. A prompt shown while someone is already using the product reaches them when your product is what they are thinking about.

## 1. Start from the template

Open **Surveys**, click **New Survey** and choose **Choose a template**. Search for **Interview Prompt**, then click the card to create the survey.

The template is a short call-to-action with a link to your scheduler. Point it at your own booking link before activating.

## 2. Trigger it at the right moment

Who sees this matters more than when, so most of the work is in **Target Audience** — see [attribute-based targeting](https://formbricks.com/docs/surveys/website-app-surveys/attribute-based-targeting.md) for building the segment. The trigger can then be something as broad as opening the dashboard, because the segment has already narrowed the audience.

Open the **Settings** tab, find **Survey Trigger** and add the action.

> [!TIP]
>
> Creating the action itself — Click versus Page View, Inner Text versus CSS Selector — is the same dialog
> in every recipe. It is walked through once on the [Feedback Box](https://formbricks.com/docs/surveys/best-practices/feedback-box.md)
> page, and the full reference is the [Actions manual](https://formbricks.com/docs/surveys/website-app-surveys/actions.md).

## 3. Decide how often it may appear

Still on **Settings**, open **Display & Recontact**. Choose **Show only once**. Someone who has already declined an interview should not be asked again every time they open the app.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Recontact Options and the workspace-wide [Cooldown Period](https://formbricks.com/docs/surveys/website-app-surveys/cooldown-period.md)
> are two separate gates and a survey has to pass both — Recontact Options first, then the cooldown. If
> your workspace shows at most one survey a week, this survey inherits that unless you set **Ignore
> Cooldown Period**.

## 4. Activate

**Activate** starts it. The widget picks up the change within a minute.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This is an app survey, so it needs the Formbricks widget running in your product. If you have not
> installed it yet, follow [the quickstart](https://formbricks.com/docs/surveys/website-app-surveys/quickstart.md) first.
