Feature Request: Increase Embedded Data Limit for Create Distribution API

Problem StatementThe current Create Distribution API endpoint (https://api.qualtrics.com/573e3f0a94888-create-distribution) has a hard limit of 10 embedded data fields, which creates significant limitations for organizations managing complex survey workflows through API integration.Current Limitation vs. Expected BehaviorCurrent State:API Distribution Creation: Maximum 10 embedded data fields XM Directory Task: Unlimited embedded data fieldsExpected State:Consistent embedded data capabilities between API and XM Directory task  Higher limit / no limit that accommodates real-world use casesBusiness ImpactThis limitation significantly impacts organizations that:Conduct comprehensive interviews/surveys requiring extensive participant metadata Use automated survey distribution workflows via API Need to maintain data consistency between survey responses and participant profilesSpecific Use Case: Our organization regularly conducts interviews requiring approximately 60 embedded data fields pe

Edit / redact sensitive info from an incoming email of a ticket

Hi All, We’ve received some incoming emails through a ticket that show up in the email history section.  Some parts need to be redacted or changed (or failing that the message removed from the email history thread) of the ticket.  Tickets I’m aware can be accessed to some degree via API but has anyone managed to work out if it’s possible (and how) to remove or redact part of a reply? The message contains sensitive information which needs to be removed and so rather than delete the whole ticket (which will cause issues with the guest being unable to reply to the same ticket thread), it would be good to know of an alternative way. Hope someone can advise or if anyone has already raised a product idea (I’ll then vote it up). Thanks Rod Pestell

First try at API updating quotas after some return the item that they checked in

We have the quota set to one so no one can see the item in the survey while it is checked out so we need to get the quota back to 0 when the item comes back in.I get lost where they say that something needs to be object.  I don’t understand what they want for logic or ActionInfo, ActionLogic, or the QuotaStart, QuotaPeriodLength, QuotaNumPeriods, QuotaCountsHere is what I have so far….

Is there a way to automatically send a bounced survey request via email to a specific person

When a survey does not complete due to a bad email address, we would like to send a email back to a manager to review and get the address corrected. Has anyone gotten this to be done automatically?

Export Survey Response as PDF via API

We have some requirement to export a survey response with all answers given from an external system. I see that there is some solution for that on the UI (Data & Analysis - Actions - Export to PDF): However, we need to export responses from an external system and thus need some corresponding API. I had a look on the API reference and found the "Surveys Response Import/Export API". Unfortunately, I think this does not help in our case since PDF is not available. Does anyone know if there is a API available for the "Export to PDF" functionality? Another option I was thinking about is to have some (public) available link per response which opens the survey with the responses in the browser. But I guess such a functionality is not available as well since the PDF is generated "on the fly" based on the response data... Thanks for the assistance.

How can I import some of the data from a survey into a SQL database.

We are currently using .net and C# to read/write to this database but I don't see any options for that in the API documentation. The users would like these updates to happen real time but that may not be an option.

Can we update embedded data subsequently once the responses have been collected

Hello all, Current situation We receive customer database and survey invites get sent out through Qualtrics. Along with the contact information we receive a lot of other useful information like 'region', 'customer type' etc. as embedded data fields. Challenge faced Some of the data fields are not updated in the data that flows through for surveys. Eg. - There may be blanks or may be incorrect data at times. However, business is able to share such data subsequently (after responses have been captured). So the way we currently analyse this is by downloading the completed responses from Qualtrics in excel, then do a Vlookup to match it with the updated information recieved for each respondent and subsequently analyse it manually. Key questions Q1. Are somehow able to update the embedded data in Qualtrics with the accurate data received separately? Eg. There is a sample of 1000 respondents (each having a unique ID) in Qualtrics but while viewing the data in the dashboards we realise t

Using the API, how to export a response survey as PDF?

Hi everyone, as most of you have experienced, there is a way in the web app to export the responses of a specific participant as a PDF. I have been trying to replicate that step using the API. However, I cannot find a way on how to do it. It looks that currently there is no way do that process using the API, but I was wondering if there is a "hacky-way" that someone has found, or if there is another idea on how to export a specific response of a survey as a PDF? If anyone can shed some light on this question, I will appreciate it. Thanks.

What is possible with the API for managing sharing/survey collaboration?

I'm new-ish to using the Qualtrics API, and will be using it more in the near future as I take the helm on working with a set (~130) of existing surveys from a longitudinal research project at a university. One task I will need to do relates to managing collaborators on an existing pool of surveys, and I'm trying to figure out whether I can use the API to do everything in a clean and reliable way. Here's the things I would like to be able to do right now: 1. Get information about who is shared on any given survey (I will have ownership-level control of any survey) 2. Get information about the permission levels associated with anyone shared on a particuar survey 3. Fix any given survey to a pre-specified list of collaborators who each have a pre-defined permission level, irrespective of the prior list of collaborators and their permissions It does seem like the "Share Survey" API call (https://api.qualtrics.com/reference#share-survey) provides much of the functionality to do #3.

Survey won't open twice when using the API

I am attempting to launch a survey via a button, via JS, on my website. When I use the JS function QSI.API.load() or QSI.API.run(), with the onclick, it works fine the first time but will not open the survey a second time until the page is refreshed. Is there a better API method or something I need to add to the button or survey to get it to perform the expected behavior? Thanks!

Contact Search API in R

Hi all,Referencing api.qualtrics.com/c79e78a949572-search-directory-contacts, I had ChatGPT help me create a script to search my Directory for emails that equal “test@test.ca”. I already know that there are over 12,000 of these.Using the black windows on the page above, I am able to (a) change the pageSize and return fewer records (and different skipTokens) and (b) use the new skipToken to retrieve different records.In my code, if I put the pageSize in the url I can modify the pageSize and return fewer records. If I put the pageSize into the body of the request nothing happens, I always get 100 records. For skipToken, I can never get it to work - I always get the same 100 records and the same skipToken returned. Can anyone help?I know this is code-specific to R :( If you have another way to use the API (secure and free, doesn’t store my API or the data) or to accomplish my task that works too. I am trying to pull a list into Excel so that I can verify with all of our users that I can d

"Various filtering options" response export

Hi,I was going through the documentation on the new response export (https://api.qualtrics.com/guides/docs/Guides/Common%20Tasks/getting-survey-responses-via-the-new-export-apis.md) and saw the following:"You can use various filtering options to this request to retrieve a subset of the responses to speed up processing." Which got me very excited. However, the various filtering options seems to be just one option namely using a filter that was created manually using the UI. Am I overseeing something? I would love to just be able to create/use filters completely using the API without having to add them by hand using the UI. Thank you in advance!

Changing usage tags via the API

Hi!We are currently using the survey-tagging function for our reporting. (The dropdown field that appears when you publish a survey or the menu available under [Tools | Survey tagging] in the survey editor.)Unfortunately, we now face the requirement to change a couple of hundred project labels, so my colleague asked whether we could do this using the API. But there seems to be no such field among the usual suspects, i.e., endpoints such as survey definitions or survey options.Do I see this correctly or is it hidden somewhere else? Just want to make sure.
