Schedule a DEX campaign

To randomly select a different sample of employees to continuously collect the sentiment data, set up the query Below. Replace #dex_campaign_name with the NQL ID of the campaign and adjust the limit below set as 50 to specify the number of new users the campaign targets every hour.

Note that you need to:

• Define the trigger Schedule and select Only after the (minimum) number of days you want to have in between responses for each employee

• First, save the campaign at least once before you can use the below NQL query, so that the system is aware that your campaign exists and does not generate a "Table does not exist" error when validating the NQL query.

users
| include campaign.#dex_campaign_name.responses
| compute number_of_requests = count()
| sort number_of_requests asc
| limit 50
