Embedding text from previous respondent in current respondent's survey?

We would need external webservice API which will store last respondents choice and send the same if requested.

As long as you only need to reference only the immediate previous response, you could accomplish this using a dummy contact.

1. Create a contact list and manually add a contact. Set the first name, last name and email address as something descriptive for you (e.g., Previous Response, previous@response.com). You should also set initial values for whatever embedded data you'd like to pass to the next participant's survey (e.g., organization, donated).


2. Create embedded data at the beginning of your survey flow to define first name, last name and email to match the contact you created. Also create fields to match the information you'll be importing, but leave the values to be defined.


3. Add a contact list authenticator. Pre-fill the first name, last name and email with your embedded data fields. Use the "Capture Respondent Identifying Info" section to import your information.


4. At the end of your survey, use a workflow or contact list trigger to update your dummy contact with the information from the current response.

Thank you both for your replies here! I appreciate it, and I'm sorry for my slow reply. We've changed our plans a bit, and I think we would want the flexibility to reference previous responses other than the immediate previous one, so mmoore I think your approach might not work here, unfortunately.
Shashi Thanks for this! I'm not so familiar with what you're proposing. Could you give me a little bit more detail on what you have in mind? Is there a particular external web service you're thinking of?
