I plan to organise a photo contest that will last for 3 days. All along this period users can submit photos and vote for photos submitted by others. I am using the invitation option to secure the platform.
Will the link sent by mail remain useable for the whole period?
Thanks
Yes, the invitation will be useable the whole period.
Thanks, is there any other kind of limitation, like:
. using the link always on the same device
. not being connected with a registered account?
Once an invitation code is used, it gets invalidated. This means the code can not be used again. When visiting the contest with a valid invitation code the user can choose if he/she wants to participate as guest or with an PollUnit account.
If a guest user revisits the PollUnit on the same device and browser our system can identify the user (unless the user deleted his/her cookies). If a guest user visits on another device/browser our system can not identify the user.
A user with PollUnit account can revisit your contest from any device and participate after login.
If it is important for you that users can revisit from different devices you can choose the option »Invitation and PollUnit account« required. This way the user needs to create an PollUnit account. More information can be found in our article about the PollUnit security settings.
Thanks a lot! This is all clear now.
