User Interviews Automated Incentive Payouts
After a session is marked complete, WebRun reads the participant, study, and agreed incentive in User Interviews, prepares the payout details, and posts a queued approval to Slack so a researcher can release the incentive with one click, no payment moves on its own.
How do I queue incentive payouts after a session completes?
WebRun readies incentives without touching your money. When a User Interviews session is marked complete, it reads the participant, study, and agreed amount, confirms it is unpaid, and queues the payout in Slack. A researcher approves and releases each one in User Interviews, so every incentive is prepared instantly but no payment ever moves on its own.
- Participants get paid faster with less manual chasing
- Every payout is human-approved before money moves
- No double payments thanks to a live paid-status check

Questions, answered
Will it pay participants without my approval?
No. WebRun never moves money. It only queues each payout in Slack with the amount and participant, and a researcher approves and releases it in User Interviews.
How does it avoid paying someone twice?
It checks that the session is attended and not already marked paid in User Interviews before queueing, so a completed payout is never queued a second time.
What details does the payout queue show?
It shows the participant, study, session date, and the agreed incentive amount, so you can confirm each payout at a glance before releasing it.
