Append answer values to a recruitment link

Pass information into your recruitment survey by editing the default recruitment link.

Prerequisites:
You can append answer values to a survey link and pass information about your participants into your survey. When a participant clicks the link, the answer value that appears in the link will be automatically recorded. These values appear as answers in reporting, and you can use them to:
  • Pipe answer values into a subsequent question.
  • Direct participant segments to different questions in your survey using Survey Logic actions.
  1. Open a recruitment survey and click the Distribute tab.
  2. In the Links area on the left menu, select a link from the Name column.
  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
    For more information about the question and answer format, see Append values to a link: Question and answer format.
  5. Test the survey link:
    1. Copy and paste the appended recruitment survey URL into several modern browsers and take your survey.
    2. On the activity toolbar, click Report and then click Standard Report to view the survey report.
    3. Verify the answer values are recorded in your report.

You can now post this recruitment survey link on your website, distribute it through social media, or send the link to survey participants.
