Open a Respondent Directly In CAPI from Another App

Note: CAPI Administrator is deprecated. Please use CAPI Supervisor instead.

On an Android device, you can open a CAPI respondent's interview directly from another application. A common use case for CAPI is for on-site door-to-door interviews. If you use a separate field work application and want to automatically load a respondent within CAPI, you can do this on an Android device using a deeplink.

You will need to know your projectID and the respondentID. You can use the deep link from within the source app or from a web browser.

For example, if the projectID is p123456789 and the respondentID is 1234, the deeplink would be:

forsta://capiapp?projectId=p123456789&respondentId=1234

Alternatively, in situations where an interviewer receives a pre-loaded assignment of addresses within CAPI, use the window.open() JavaScript function to show the interviewer on a map where to proceed.
