Get a live activity link

Use the live version of a survey link when you distribute the survey.

Prerequisites:

Activity links gather data anonymously. Members and nonmembers alike can complete the survey through a live activity link multiple times. On the back end, each response received through an activity link is stored as a response from a new anonymous nonmember. There is no way to connect an activity link response to a member, unless you append an identity variable to the activity link.

  1. Open a survey and click the Distribute tab.
  2. On the left menu, click Links.
  3. Click a link in the Name column.
  4. If the survey link is not already open, click Generate Live Link.
    Note:
    • Only users that have the Can schedule distributions permission enabled for their user account 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.
    • Surveys must contain a translation for the assigned community's locale. If the translation is not present, you can create a distribution, but you cannot send it or make the activity live. For more information, see Manage locales.
  5. Copy and paste the link.
    1. In the Live Link area, click the link to select it.
    2. Copy the link by doing any of the following:
      • Right-click and select Copy.
      • If you are on a PC, press Ctrl+C.
      • If you are on a Mac, press Command+C.
    3. Place your cursor where you want to paste the link (for example, in an email or on a website).
    4. Paste the link by doing any of the following:
      • Right-click and select Paste.
      • If you are on a PC, press Ctrl+V.
      • If you are on a Mac, press Command+V.
  6. Optional: Generate a QR code.
    Note: Generating QR codes for custom links, or links that contain identity variables, is not supported.
