What is the best way to embed a Sawtooth survey inside a Qualtrics survey? | XM Community
Skip to main content
I want to embed a series of conjoint questions using Sawtooth into a Qualtrics survey (my client uses Sawtooth for adaptive choice conjoint, and wants the main survey to be in Qualtrics but the adaptive choice series of questions to be in Sawtooth). I need to understand how to pass back the Qualtrics response ID to Sawtooth. I believe to do this in general, in the Qualtrics question, I would use an iframe tag that would look something like this: _iframe src="https://sawtooth.com/xyz?rid=${e://Field/ResponseID}" height="500" width="700"></iframe_ (where _https://sawtooth.com/xyz _is the URL of the Sawtooth survey my client would set up.) What I don’t quite get is how that response ID gets transmitted back to the Sawtooth interface. Can anyone advise and/or point me to an online resource where this has already been explained? I also want to make the look & feel of the Qualtrics survey as close as possible to how Sawtooth looks (Sawtooth appears to be less customizable interms of look and feel than Qualtrics) and was hoping someone had a Qualtrics template already made that simulated how Sawtooth looks. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Hi @BradyD, Sawtooth is a tool which is used by majority of firms when it comes to Conjoint and Maxdiff analysis. Fortunately I have worked on both platforms Sawtooth and Qualtrics. What I will do as per my past experience is to redirect the respondents once they complete the survey in qualtrics to sawtooth platform. Use below link as redirect URL: https://sawtooth.com/xyz?rid=${e://Field/ResponseID} ! Using this approach will have following steps: Step1 : Respondent will fill his/her main survey in Qualtrics Step2 : Once respondent submit the survey they will be redirected to sawtooth platform with unique response id of respondent which can be stored at sawtooth identify as an identifier Step3: Respondent will fill his/ her conjoint question in Sawtooth Hope this is helpful!

Thank you so much, Samarth, however, I don't think this will work for me, as I need the Sawtooth section to come in the middle of my Qualtrics survey. I need respondents to answer some questions in Qualtrics, then take the conjoint section in Sawtooth, then finish the survey in Qualtrics. Is that possible? I was thinking I could put the Sawtooth survey in an iframe in a Qualtrics "Descriptive text" type question like the below, where "www.sawtoothsoftware.com/cgi-bin/ciwweb" is the URL of the Sawtooth survey, and SawID is an embedded data field set to the Qualtrics response ID. Would this work? iframe src="https://www.sawtoothsoftware.com/cgi-bin/ciwweb?SawID=${e://Field/ResponseID}" height="500" width="700"></iframe

BradyD just reading your comment from June 2018 above. How did this work out? Did you embed the conjoint in your Qualtrics survey?

Hi, I have the same problem. One solution could be to get redirected to qualtrics after the conjoint in Sawtooth. But for this the respondent needs to be redirected to the middle of the questionnaire and not to the beginning.
Is it possible to have a hyperlink that redirect to a specific question of the survey (and not to the beginning/question1 by default)?
If this is not possible, I have to set up a separate survey for the last part in Qualtrics, but would prefer the first option.
Thanks a lot!

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/42974#Comment_42974I solved this by setting-up another embedded data variable and show the respective question blocks based on this variable that I pass over with the link before and after the conjoint
