I write because my question was not answered below, cannot reach you through e-mail and you may need further infos to be able to help me.

I have designed a 2-wave questionnaire in your platform by using a single questionnaire. I want to send the url link via an external platform (I use a mailing list from the Uni). I ask participants to provide their e-mails by the end of wave 1 survey but I do not know how to automatically store such e-mail address using php code as to send them an e-mail later with wave 2 survey.

Therefore, could you please provide me with a minimal working example in which:
1) In page 1, there is a box in which the participant types in his/her e-mail (which should be stored if we are to use mailSend())
2) In page 2, there is the last page of wave 1, with the text "Last page of Wave 1". This page should not have the next button.
After page 2 is shown for the first time, an e-mail should be sent 90 seconds later to the e-mail recipient. The e-mail should display a link to the url of the questionnaire starting at page 3 and not at page 1 (can this be done with mailSend(), say by passing the url of the questionnaire as string, or do I really need to use mailResume? Also, 2.5 Should there be a page in between 2 and 3? If so, please consider it too.
3) In page 3, there is the first page of wave 2, with the text "First page of Wave 2". This page should have the next button. Page 3 should only be accessible at the same time the e-mail has been sent, meaning that the questionnaire should pause at page 2 for a while.

Many thanks in advance!

Your question on SoSci Survey Online Support has been answered by SoSci Survey:

I need an id for the category "mailing" Please create a mailing in Invotation Mailing -> Mailings. When stored, you will see an ID for this mailing in the above menu. > Also, I do not get quite well how this can be used in combination with the buttonHide function... Well, the manuel [Example: Pause Between Survey Waves][1] gives a start. Could you possibly specify your question a bit further? > I tried to center the images I inserted for my experimental treatments and include commands such as "margin" but the button "next" is still too far below the image... Depends on how you embedded the image. Please feel free to add some HTML code to your question. [1]: https://www.soscisurvey.de/help/doku.php/en:create:functions:buttonhide

I ask participants to provide their e-mails by the end of wave 1 survey but I do not know how to automatically store such e-mail address using php code as to send them an e-mail later with wave 2 survey.

Okay, let's solve this step-by-step.

Step 1: Do you have an opt-in question?

Step 2: Did you read the manual Multi-Wave Surveys with Self-Recruited Respondents? If yes, please specify where it becomes unclear, because only then I can tell you something different here in the online support.

The 2 e-mails I receive:

mail 2:

Additionally, now I found out that for 2 of the 3 Treatments, wave 2 keeps repeating again and again (there's no way to finish it). Treatments in both waves are well-randomized, but have no clue what may be causing that...

Okay, the first one is a mailing, the second one is a mailResume().

So here's my guess where the mailing comes from:
https://support.soscisurvey.de/?qa=15654/fragetyp-opt-fur-mail-verteiler-funktionalitat-double-opt&show=15660#a15660

(as all your contents is in German, I assume you speak German. By the way: you're aware that SoSic Survey is located in Munich?)

I followed the instructions I now receive one e-mail to wave 2, but I still have the problem pointed above: for 2 of the 3 Treatments, wave 2 keeps repeating again and again (there's no way to finish it)...can it be something linked to the code showed above? I know you are located in Germany, but I am much slowlier writing in German than in English, that's why :-)

>  for 2 of the 3 Treatments, wave 2 keeps repeating again and again

Would you mind clearing this in a new question. I think we have earned some more clarity given that we have resolved the two-mails issue and the original question in this thread :)

> wave 2 keeps repeating again and again

In the new question, please post the code that separated the treatments. Possibly, you're working with setPageOrder() or something like this?
