   Leave the 'participant message' and 'send notification?' options blank.   Tip! To inform the participant  that they should sync their Fitbit or weigh in on their scale every day, send a one-time alert message with instructions or welcome to study message.

5. Choose the day when the event should start and the event window.  The event window is the time that the participant has to complete either a weigh in or a pedometer sync.  
   1.  Tip! For pedometer or scale device upload events, typically, participants are asked to start weighing in or syncing their pedometers on Day 0 or Day 1 and they have the entire day to do so (12:00 am - 11:59 pm)

6. Indicate how many times the event should repeat and then click the blue 'Add' button .
   1. Tip! For pedometer or scale device upload events, typically, participants are asked to weigh in or sync their pedometer every day for the entire duration of the study.

7. For daily data collection, typically you don't want to send a message on the Collect Data event itself since it will occur at the frequency selected. 
   1.  Tip! To inform the participant that they should sync their Fitbit or weigh in on their scale every day, create a 'Send a Message' event with instructions or welcome to study message. 
      
      
8. You are now ready to build feedback logic on the device upload'Collect Data' event.  Click the 'FeedbackSave and Define Logic' button.

10. Choose the device field (i.e steps) and the operator (i.e >).  Then select either amount or target.
    1. Amount: a set number for all study participants. For example, 7,000 steps
    2. Target: a an individualized step count goal for each study participant 
       1.  Note: In order to use a target for compliance, a target generator must be developedset up from the 'Target Configurations' page.  See Targets for guidance.

13.  Want to send the participant a message based on the step count total from the previous day? Instead of building this as a feedback logic message directly in the Fitbit event, send the message via a round up.  See Round Up eventan 'Add Logic' event.  See Send a Conditional Message for more information on how to set up round up eventscustom feedback messages based on devices and other event types.
    
    
    1. Why should I send the message via a round up? Otherwise 'Send a Conditional Message'? If you send the message using logic built directly off of the Add Data event, you will not have control over the timing of the feedback message. Way to Health will send the feedback message to the participant once immediately following the Add Data event closes- , and this is typically at midnight. While Way to Health has a safeguard in place to prevent feedback messages from going out prior to 8 am (unless otherwise specified in the profile), however a participant may not appreciate receiving a text message at 8 am on a Saturday Saturday. 
        But there's a caveat…. With 'Send a Conditional Message' you can control the timing of the feedback messaging.
       
       
14. If you want to relay the participant's target to them in the daily message (i.e. 'You only walked X steps yesterday and your goal was Y steps.  Try harder today!') then you must should build this message onto the device feedback as a round up will not have the option to include the TARGET variable.
