Bulk Suggest vs Manual Matching in Qooper
Overview
Qooper provides two ways to match participants: Bulk Suggest and Manual Matching. Bulk Suggest generates system-based match recommendations for large-scale matching, while Manual Matching allows admins to create matches directly for individual participants. Both methods help admins manage matching based on program needs, either at scale or with full control.
