Automated SurveyCTO Field Collection Progress Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens SurveyCTO, counts yesterday's submissions per form and per enumerator, checks today's planned fieldwork on Google Calendar, and posts a progress digest to Microsoft Teams so the research team can see collection pace against the plan.

In short

How do I track daily SurveyCTO data collection progress by enumerator?

Every morning, WebRun counts yesterday's SurveyCTO submissions per form and enumerator, checks today's planned fieldwork on Google Calendar, and posts a progress digest to Microsoft Teams. Research teams see collection pace against the fieldwork plan and notice a quiet enumerator the same day instead of at the end of the data collection window.

  • A quiet enumerator gets noticed the same morning, not at the survey deadline
  • Collection pace is visible daily instead of only at milestone reviews
  • Planned coverage and actual submissions are compared automatically

Questions, answered

Does it contact enumerators directly about low submission counts?

No. WebRun only posts the digest internally to Microsoft Teams for the research team. Following up with a specific enumerator is a step the team takes.

How does it flag a possible problem in the field?

It compares who was scheduled for fieldwork today against who actually submitted data, so an enumerator with zero submissions gets noticed the same morning.

Does it touch the survey form or submitted data itself?

No. It only reads submission counts. It never edits a form, a question, or a respondent's answers.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
