Summarise
Usually the most important part of your script is the part which asks the bot to provide a summary ****at the end of the interview and have them check it with your respondent.
Causal connections: if you are dealing with causal narratives and want to analyse them in the Causal Map app, you can ask the bot to give the summary of the interview following this model:
cause >> effect
Tips
You cannot edit a survey you already shared, but you can copy it and make a new version.
If your script just produces a whole invented interview with no questions, insert instructions like 'wait for my response' into your script.
Tell the interviewer to not offer their own opinions, but just to ask questions.
Ask the interviewer, when the interviewer is over, to say something like !END Goodbye.
!END will not be shown, but the interview will then be closed.
# You can add comments to your script just for yourself by starting a line with #, like this line. Lines beginning with # will be ignored.
Insert a line like this “First ask me this, verbatim: 'Do you agree with any of these: !ROOTS? If so, click the one which you think is most important'.” into your script, and !ROOTS will be replaced by the most common root items (the items at the end of the causal chains, which other items cause) in your interviews so far.
Flag sensitive messages: You can add standard messages like the one below to flag an issue and facilitate the search for it after the end of the survey: ’If I mention something where I or someone else might be in danger or have a health concern, say "I'm sorry that you are in a difficult situation". And kindly move to the next question.’

If I respond in another language, continue to interview me in that same language. However this may slow down the response — do test it first.&lang=xyz to the end of a interview URL, where xzy is the three-character code for another language, like deu for German, the interview will be conducted in that language
