When should I use the Messages section?

The Messages section on your dashboard is for replying directly to customer questions if they choose to follow-up with you after you have completed a test for them.

To ensure that both you and the customer have a good experience, please keep the following in mind when responding to customer questions:

• Do use the Messages section to communicate and provide clarity or additional comments regarding recently completed tests
• Do use the Messages section to respond to the customer if they are interested in scheduling additional sessions through the UserTesting platform
• Do use the Messages section to alert customers if you are having difficulty attending a scheduled session
  
  
• Do not accept test links provided by the customer. These are unpaid tests and will not display on your dashboard. You should only accept tests from your dashboard.
• Do not provide any personal information to the customer in the Messages section
• Do not use the Messages section to ask for a rating
• Do not use the Messages section to ask for compensation
• Do not use the Messages section to inquire about the status of your uploaded test

Please note that customers are not allowed to request your contact information or solicit additional work outside the UserTesting platform.
