Hi We are using Qualtrics to present a questionnaire to participants in a mental health study that we are running. Our survey participants arrive first at our website where they are screened. For those who are eligible, we then: i) make a call to the Qualtrics API (API/v3/mailinglists/<mailing_list_id>/contacts) to create a contact in the study mailing list ii) make another call to the Qualtrics API to create a distribution list (API/v3/distributions) which returns the distribution id ii) use the distribution id to get the survey link (API/v3/distributions/<distribution_id>/links?surveyId=<survey_id>). The issue we have is that each time we create a distribution list a link is generated for _all _the contacts in the mailing list. Using the Qualtrics user interface it is possible to create a distribution list for a particular survey participant, but this does not seem to be an option via the API. The only workaround I can see is that we create a separate mailing list for each participant. I am sure that this challenge must have been faced before. I would value any help the community can offer to resolve this ?

Hi!!If you have data with which you can make a sample of the individual you can use the sample as mailing list. However you will need to add more calls, the create sample definitions and make a sample from the mailing list. But maybe this can work for youhttps://api.qualtrics.com/reference#create-sample-definition

Thanks very much for your reply Ana - that really helps.So we could create a sample for each individual. I'm probably missing something obvious, but I don't see how we can then create distribution links for that sample ?CheersHarry
