Append answer values to an activity link

Pass information into your activity by editing the default link URL.

1. In the Links tab, select a link in the Name column.
2. If the survey link is not already open, click Generate Live Link.
   Note:

   • Only Power Users and Author users that have the Can schedule distributions permission enabled for their user account, and Admins, can generate live links. Otherwise, the Generate Live Link button is disabled.
   • By clicking Generate Live Link, you change the status of the link from Pending to Open.
3. Copy and paste the link into a text editor such as Notepad.
4. Place your cursor at the end of the link, and type a question mark (?), then type the question name and answer value.

   Example
   https://communityname.com/c/a/UniqueSurveyId?QuestionName=AnswerValue

   Tip: For test links, use an ampersand (&) to append question and answer values to the link instead of a question mark. For example:

   https://communityname/c/a/6Gczh4eolTo8C7f2Lr4VR6?t=1&QuestionName=AnswerValue

   For more information about the question and answer format, see Append values to a link: Question and answer format.
5. Optional: To append the survey URL with another question and answer set, type an ampersand (&) followed by the question and answer set.

   Example
   https://communityname.com/c/a/UniqueSurveyId?QuestionName=AnswerValue&QuestionName=MM/DD/YYYY

6. Test the link:
   1. Copy and paste the appended URL into several modern browsers and complete your activity.
   2. On the activity toolbar, click Report and then click Standard Report to view the activity report.
   3. Verify the answer values are recorded in your report.
