Access & Support

With the introduction of Sprig Long Form Surveys, Prototype Tests will be deprecated when all existing prototype functionality is embedded within Long Form Surveys. As of October 15, new customers will automatically receive Long-Form Surveys in a limited capacity instead, with Prototype Tests automatically included.

If you would like to use Prototype Tests, contact Sprig Support to have the feature enabled in your workspace.

Note: Existing customers who already have access will continue to see both options available.

Overview

Prototype Tests let you collect feedback on early designs, wireframes, and interactive prototypes directly within Sprig. You can embed prototypes from popular design tools and gather insights on usability, comprehension, and visual design, all without setting up any code. Much of the prototype feedback functionality available in Prototype Tests is also supported in Long-Form Surveys, which are now the recommended option for most prototype-based feedback workflows.

Supported Prototype Sources

To apply a prototype to a Sprig Prototype test, simply paste a url into each question to align Sprig survey questions with prototype links.

You can embed prototypes from the following supported source urls:

"https://*.figma.com"
"https://*.hubspot.com"
"https://documentcloud.adobe.com"
"https://xd.adobe.com"
"https://www.sketch.com"
"https://*.invisionapp.com"
"https://invis.io"
"https://miro.com/app/"
"https://marvelapp.com/"
"https://*.axshare.com"

"https://docs.google.com"
"https://cloud.protopie.io"
"https://*.framer.app"
"*.webflowtest.io"

Note: Links created in Figma Make aren’t currently supported due to a limitation on Figma's side.

Features

Prototype Tests support all standard Sprig question types, including Open Text, Rating Scale, Multiple Choice (single- or multi-select), NPS, Matrix, Video or Voice, Text/URL Prompt, and Consent/Legal.

They also include one additional type unique to this study: Recorded Task, which captures participant screen, video, and audio.

Recorded Task

The Recorded Task question type lets you capture a participant’s screen, camera, and microphone as they complete a task within your prototype. This helps identify usability issues and observe where participants click, navigate, and hesitate.

The following capture options are supported:

• Screen, Video, and audio
• Screen and audio
• Screen

Note: Participants must grant permission before recording begins.

Once the participant clicks "Start Task", recording begins. When they select "Mark Complete", recording stops and the study moves to the next question.

Reviewing Recorded Task Responses

When responses are submitted, the responses and recording will flow into the Sprig Study Summary.

Sprig will provide:

• An automatically generated transcript of the users audio (if collected)
• A "Time on Task" ie. the time it took the user to complete the task
• A screen recording of the user (if video was collected) and the screen
• Metrics on how many users completed the task vs. gave up

Note: Recorded Tasks are not supported on mobile devices.

Exporting Studies with Recorded Tasks

Exporting via CSV will provide the following information (on top of the standard data exported via CSVs):

• Completed/ Gave Up
• Task Completion Time (ms)
• Transcription of Audio (if captured)
• Screen Recording URL (for viewing or download)
• Video Recording URL (for viewing or download, if captured)

Delivery

Prototype Tests are delivered via a shareable link, similar to other Sprig survey types. Prototype Tests can be embedded, enriched, and delivered in the same way as Long-Form Surveys. See our documentation on Delivering Link-Based Studies.

This includes:

• Linking from In-Product Surveys
• Email and QR code delivery
• Identity enrichment (user_id, email)
• Pre-setting first-question responses
• Custom metadata
• Email bot-activity considerations
