Prompt
Are there any screening questionnaire tools that handle quota routing and API integrations for sample buyers?
Latest observation
Yes — there are several survey / research tools that support screening questionnaires with quota routing and can be integrated with sample buyer / panel provider workflows via APIs.
Tools to look at
-
Qualtrics
Strong for advanced survey logic, quota management, and API integrations. Often used for custom respondent routing and external panel/sample workflows. -
Alchemer (formerly SurveyGizmo)
Supports screening logic, quotas, and API access. Good if you need more flexible survey operations and integrations. -
QuestionPro
Offers quotas, skip logic, and API integrations. Commonly used for market research screening and panel/sample management. -
Forsta / Confirmit
More enterprise-oriented, with robust quota handling, routing, and integration options for sample providers. -
Decipher
Popular in research for advanced quotas, screening, and panel/sample integrations, often with API/webhook-style workflows. -
Lighthouse Studio / Sawtooth
More specialized, but capable of advanced survey routing and quota management; integration capabilities depend on setup.
What to confirm with vendors
When evaluating them, ask specifically whether they support:
- Quota management at the screener level
- Automatic disqualification / termination routing
- Multi-cell quotas
- API or webhook support for passing respondent status back to sample buyers
- Panel integration with providers like Cint, Dynata, Lucid, etc.
- Real-time LOI / incidence tracking
- Partial completes and reconciling completes via API
Typical workflow
A sample buyer or panel provider usually needs:
- a screener link
- quota logic in the survey platform
- an API callback or redirect when a respondent is:
- qualified
- disqualified
- over quota
- incomplete
If you want the best fit
- Most flexible / enterprise: Qualtrics, Forsta
- Good mid-market balance: Alchemer, QuestionPro
- Research-heavy / panel-centric: Decipher, Forsta
