Requests on MarketScale make it easy to share your voice in one quick flow. Look out for a link in your inbox, a post in your feed, or a direct invite over email. Just answer and send, simple as that.

Part 1: Answer the Request

When you open the link, you’ll land on the request's intro screen. You’ll see the name of the request and who sent it. Hit Get Started to jump in.

FYI: If you're not currently logged in when you open a request, you'll automatically enter the workflow to respond as a guest participant. If you prefer to respond through your account, make sure to log in first.

Once inside, you’ll see the questions with instructions for how to respond. The request creator already chose which options you'll use, so just follow the instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are quick answers to the most common questions about requests.\

Why does it say I am responding as a Guest?

By default, if you aren't logged in to MarketScale when you open the request, you'll answer as a Guest participant. This makes it easier for users to respond, especially if they're on the go. If you prefer to answer through your account, make sure to log in first.

What happens after I send my Request response?

Once you hit Submit:

How do I get my response into Media Studio?

To access the content from your response, navigate to the request in your Channel and click Responses.

You can see your response immediately after you submit it, but in order to get full access to the response you need to be the creator of the request, or have collaborator permissions on the request, or be an Admin in the channel in which the request was created.

Can I send a Request to myself to upload media?

Yes. Just send the request to yourself or use the link Collector. Open your request and respond normally. Your response will still be accessible in the Collector after submission just the same as anyone's

Pro Tip: Skip the Request and Record or Upload directly to your channel.

Is a Request the same as the old Media Request?

Yes, you can think of Requests like Media Request 2.0. They offer the same functionality but with more flexibility and easier responses across video, text, and file uploads.

Is a Request the same as Surveys?

Yes, we renamed Surveys to be Requests. No change to the functionality of the tool, and you have access to all the same features and benefits under the new name.

What's the difference between a Request and Requesting edits?

Requests are a tool you use to collect content. Send requests to teammates, customers, and industry partners to send their responses and assets so you can tap into the crowd for all of your content.

When you want to polish that content up and stitch together multiple clips you can bundle them in a Media Studio and request editing.
