- Access Code
Anyone with the interview URL can start a conversation. No code, no sign-up, no friction.Best for:
- Public feedback campaigns
- Community research and open surveys
- Embedding in your product or docs where you want maximum participation
- Social sharing and forums
- Your interview link resolves to the start screen for anyone who visits it
- Respondents optionally enter their name and email, then begin immediately
- The link can be shared broadly — anyone who finds the URL can respond
Open (this is the default for all new interviews).Public conversations
The public conversations setting controls what happens after a respondent finishes their conversation.| Setting | What respondents see after completing | Who else can view |
|---|---|---|
| Disabled (default) | A simple thank-you message | Only you (the interview owner) |
| Enabled | A shareable link to their own conversation transcript | Anyone with the conversation link |
https://listen.land/c/[conversation-id]. Respondents can bookmark or share their own transcript, and you can share individual conversations with stakeholders directly from the response view.
This is particularly useful for UX research where you want to pass individual stories to a design team, or for any study where giving respondents a copy of their own conversation adds value.
To toggle this setting, open your interview’s Settings tab and flip the Public Conversations switch.
Access codes only control who can start a conversation. The interview link itself always resolves to a public landing page — anyone can visit the URL and see the start screen. The code gates entry into the conversation, not visibility of the page.
