Counting responses and displaying them in a response email | XM Community
Skip to main content

In my survey I am creating multiple choice questions and I would like to have variables which increment by 1 for each time the user selects A, B, etc. In other words, these variables will keep track of how many times the user selects each response, and keep a total for A, a total for B, etc. Then, I want to show the user their totals in an email. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @krisztian_domotor ,

You can create embedded data for each choice and update it by +1 each time the user clicks that options using JS.
Then you can pipe the same variable in emails also.

Hope this resolves your query😊!!


You can use the scoring functionality of Qualtrics: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-tools/scoring/

This will automatically create an embedded data which stores the score. Since, you want to increment it by 1 so, you can give score 1 for Option A as well as for Option B. At the end of the survey or in email notification you can pipe-text the scoring embedded data.


@MohammedAli_Rajapkar @qualtrics_nerd  Thank you for these ideas, I have set up the scoring functionality in my survey and it seems to serve its purposes well. However the scores are still not showing up in the Thank You Email. I used embedded data fields in the saved message, but where I type embedded data in the saved message there is blank space in the actual email. Is there something I am missing here?

Can you try checking by pipe-text the scoring embedded data in the normal email task? Also, you can see the scoring value in the data and analysis, correct?

Just to check if its working with the email task.


I can see the scoring embedded data in the Data and Analysis tab. Also it doesn’t seem like scoring is an option in the normal email task.
 

 


Try to capture the scoring value in a new embedded data in the survey flow and then use the new embedded data as a piped-text.
