I currently have an anonymous link posted on my website. I want to collect the email address of everyone who completes it and add them to a contact list to send a distribution to in January. What is the best way to do this?

Almost certain you can't capture contact info from an anonymous link distribution unless you ask for them to enter their email address as a question within the survey.

This is NEARLY true, though if the site you are sending them from, has them logging in, you could add it as a parameter to the link each respondent sees,(assuming you have access to this and the know how to do this) then pull in that parameter as embedded data.

@AnneF @AnthonyR - I'm actually planning to ask for their email on the survey & was just wondering what the easiest way to prepare for future distributions was.

Ahh, even easier, when you Create a contact list, and are adding contacts, you have the ability to do so by importing from a survey. You then can select the questions to add fields like email from.!

@Barnaby contact lists are a wonderful feature. Working on project right now where participants are registering online and contact lists will enable us to trigger emails with their student IDs and training locations.

You can also achieve this by using Contact List Triggers. From Tools -> Triggers -> Contact List Triggers, you can "Add Respondent To Contact List On Survey Complete" - this way, your contact lists can be populated in real time upon survey completion.
