Once you've finalized your survey, you should be ready to set up respondent sources for it. To create a respondent source, click Add respondent source on the Summary tab. This will take you to the Add respondent source wizard:

Different kinds of respondent source

There are three different kinds of respondent sources: integrated providers, first party data, and external providers:

• The platform automatically sources respondents from integrated providers.
• First-party data, available on the Team or Enterprise plans, are used to survey your customer base.
• External respondent sources can be used on the Team or Enterprise plans, allowing custom integration with your sample provider. You can get instructions on using your sample provider in this article.

For integrated providers, the respondent source definition will be taken from any quotas you have in the survey:

You can then edit the respondent source definition to add additional targets available from the sample provider:

Adding boost respondent sources

Sometimes, you might want to augment a specific survey with more respondents of a particular kind without skewing the overall results. To do this, you create a new respondent source with the required distribution and specify that it should be weighted to the main respondent source you have set up.

If you look at the example below, we have boosted the respondent source for African American respondents as follows:

• The respondent source definition specifies only African Americans and a lower percentage of Hispanics.
• The weighting respondent source is set to the primary respondent source, "US Genpop".

This will give us an additional 300 responses in the African American group, which will greatly increase the statistical significance of results within this group without impacting the overall distribution of results in the survey.
