Allow extension to run for more time?

Hi @qHubert,I’m not sure where to direct this question, so I’m starting with you :)Is there any way it would be possible to have an extension run for more than the default 45 seconds?In short, I’m building an extension that would need to process a lot of users in a project, and perform various tasks on them. In my current code, I had to build in limits to stop the code from processing too many users at once, as this would mean the code would hit the 45 second limit and then fail.This means that I can fairly safely process 250 users in 45 seconds, but if the server is slow, then I can risk that this would not even work. Running this every hour would give me the ability to process 6000 users per day, but in some cases this will not be enough.Worst case scenario, the solution in that case would be to split this into multiple projects, based on country or similar, and then just set up 8 projects with 8 connected workflows that would then load 8 jobs at the same time on the servers. This wo

Issue with delete-participants API call in extension

For some reason I cannot get a “delete-participants” API call to work in my extension.I can make other calls work, so it is not the connection or authentication. I keep on getting a 500 (internal server error), unless if I deliberately configure the body as a string instead of an array, then I get a 400 error.I have tried all possible and impossible options to format the body, but a no point have I been successful in getting this to work from the extension. It is not a problem to get this to work from Postman, but running it from the extension just does not work.This is the simplified code (with project ID hidden):module.exports = async function(context) {    let getDeleteParticipants;        try {        const requestOptionsDelete = {            method: "POST",            body: ["DisableTestID"],              };        getDeleteParticipants = await context.client.qualtricsApiFetch('ex-projects/TS_……./delete-participants', requestOptionsDelete);        if (error.status === 201){

Where does the function client.getText get the labels from

This might be a super stupid question, but I have now spent several hours on this, and can’t seem to figure this one out on my own.In the different parts of the extension setup, the function client.getText(‘xyz’) is used to get a label returned that is matching the “xyz” value.When do I find and change the label for “xyz”?Thanks in advance!

3rd party extension does not support workflow tasks

Hey,I’m currently trying to turn a rather complex survey project into a Solution extension in order to make a template out of it for future projects. However, since I imported the project into my solution extension, I get this error message when building the extension: 3rd-Party Extension is not allowed to use version of the following resources: [trigger.v0 trigger.v0 task.v0 task.v0 task.v0] I checked the tasks in question and they seem to be workflow tasks that I created, is it possible to keep them in the extension and fix this or do I need to remove them?

Solution CLI not installing?

tl;drWhen attempting to run solution init in my plugin folder, I’m getting the following:solution : The term 'solution' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlter, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.At lin:1 char:1+ solution init+ ~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (solution:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException BackgroundI’m going to preface by saying that I’ve gone through and successfully published an XM Solution to my sandbox brand once before using an individual installation of Node (didn’t use nvm). When I got on about a month later, I became aware of being out-of-date on Node, so after dealing with the unsurety of cleaning things up properly (uninstalling prior version of Node and using new one), I tried to remove all my prior setup and start clean with an nvm installation.

JS Webhook Causes Error During Survey

I am using a webhook in the JavaScript of one of my survey questions to export some survey data to Zapier (an automation engine). I am able to successfully send data out with the webhook, however, it then breaks the survey and I get the error “#B.1ykou2s.lnlu16va” shown below when I try to move on to the next question. Any thoughts on what could be the solution? Error after clicking “next” button to go to next survey question: My JavaScript code for the webhook is here: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/ var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open("POST", "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/", true); var params = { q_response_id: "${e://Field/ResponseID}", email: "${q://QID19/ChoiceTextEntryValue/4}", content: "example content", } request.send(JSON.stringify(params));}); Thanks.

Extension reporting widget plugin does not appear when running in development

I am trying to run an extension locally using xmt develop extension, but the connection to localhost is refused, so the plugin is never displayed. I verified that I have added the XMT=1 query parameter, done a hard refresh, and that my browser (Edge) is configured to allow insecure content for my Qualtrics brand domain.This is my first time doing xmt develop extension, in the past the documentation used to say something like xmt run or xmt start I believe. Do you have any troubleshooting suggestions?

Extension SDK Best Practices/Tips and Tricks

We have been working behind the scenes on the Extension SDK for a while now and there are a few things that have come up a number of times. This post will be geared towards aggregating best practices, so if you have any good tips or tricks while you are building, share them here with the rest of the community!Security:Security is our top priority and with the introduction of the SDK, we’re allowing you to integrate and introduce your own systems into the Qualtrics platform with relative ease. This means that we’re now sharing the security responsibilities. Be mindful of how your services are exposed and how you choose to show any embedded dashboards within your own systems. We support four authentication schemes: OAuth 2.0, Basic Authentication, API Key, and SFTP. Our recommendation is to use OAuth 2.0 as it has multiple advantages over the others. DevelopmentDuring development, use npm start or npm run build-dev because it generates unminified versions of your code. This makes it easi
