Thank you for the suggestion! The issue is that this would send the survey to everyone with an incomplete survey (e.g., people not yet consented to do the survey as well). I only want to send it to people that have started the survey but not completed it. I feel it may not be possible on REDCap.
It shouldn't.
In Step 1: Triggering the Alert, A) you select "If conditional logic is TRUE when a record is saved on a specific form/survey"
In B) Select: Trigger the alert when \[this survey\] is saved with any form status.
While the following logic is true: \[form\_complete\]!=2
Tick "Ensure logic is still true before sending notification".
---
This setup will only trigger on partially-completed surveys where the user has entered data, that data has been partially saved (e.g. by hitting "Next"), and the user has not hit "Submit" to mark the form as completed - or they've used the "Save and Return Later" option.
If your consent is on the same instrument (it shouldn't be), then you should have stop logic or branching logic that makes the rest of the survey irrelevant. When they hit "submit" then the instrument is saved with complete status, not incomplete status. You can also add to the logic "AND \[consent\]=1" or equivalent to the logic to ensure that it doesn't fire for non-consenting participants.
If your consent is on a different instrument, then this alert will not be relevant.
One additional item that might be helpful - If you use the [form_complete]!=2 option, use the "ensure logic is true before sending" option, and then delay sending for a reasonable amount of time for someone to "complete" the survey.
Create an alert which checks the form completion field and triggers if not set to "complete".

Thank you so much! I’m going to try this!

Thank you for that, I will do that as well !
