Archiving and purging XM directory

Hey @Ingrid_M (and anyone who finds this thread in the future),This has effectively been solved recently with a new feature called “private list data”:https://www.qualtrics.com/support/iq-directory/lists-tab/creating-mailing-lists/#PrivateListData Basically if you set your mailing list to use private data, any embedded data used is exclusive to that mailing list and does not update the contact’s embedded data at the directory level. There is no need to purge existing data anymore 🎉 I am still testing this out myself though, so please do your own due diligence for your surveys.There is an edge case to be considered - if your survey references embedded data that is not in your private mailing list but does exist for that contact at the directory level, it will pipe in the value from the directory (rather than default to a blank value). If your survey uses embedded data to create lists with dynamic length, you will want to double check that you don’t accidentally trigger this behaviour i

SMS invite links different to Email invite links?

  However this does fix the reminder issue noted in my initial post - when a user opens a personalised link in another channel, it actually creates a new survey instance and just loads their existing progress. Once they complete the survey, they will still receive any reminders for the channel that they did not complete the survey on. So you’ll still need to routinely update your opt-outs for the mailing list to avoid spamming.  Revising this after more testing to say that it actually does address this if the user takes the survey via email or SMS at some point. Anonymous links are the edge case here - if somebody only takes the survey via anonymous link, they will still receive email/SMS reminders. If they begin via an anonymous link, and then continue via email or SMS, it will link up the anonymous response and they will not receive reminders after they complete it regardless of the final channel used.So basically, you will only need to update your opt-outs if you’re using anonymous

SMS invite links different to Email invite links?

Bumping this old thread with a partial solution I’ve stumbled on 1.5 years later.If you’re using an authenticator for your survey, there is an option to reload any previously saved progress upon user authentication. As mentioned in the text below this option, you should disable ‘Allow respondents to finish later’ in Survey Options (I assume because it is cookie-based which could create a conflict).I’ve tested this by partially completing a survey and then accessing it via anonymous link, and personalised email and SMS links. All three methods opened the survey to the same point, even if it was brand new session in a private window or separate device. However this does fix the reminder issue noted in my initial post - when a user opens a personalised link in another channel, it actually creates a new survey instance and just loads their existing progress. Once they complete the survey, they will still receive any reminders for the channel that they did not complete the survey on.

Extract From SFTP/Load Into Data Project-FULL OVERWRITE

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/52813#Comment_52813Ah, you probably can't do this in a workflow then. There's no way of telling the API to delete all records, instead you need to gather all of the record IDs and loop through each one, deleting them one at a time. Workflows don't currently have the ability to loop, so no dice.The next best solution would be to write your own script (implementing the aforementioned loop), but if you're running it every night you will need a machine/server running during that time.

How can I run multiple interconnected APIs via xFlow?

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/52759#Comment_52759From memory I believe the API is generally configured to only accept one input for each parameter, and Workflows don't have any way of performing loops. Code tasks can contain loops but aren't allowed to make outbound API calls either, so you're likely out of luck if you want a strict single workflow solution.I've had to get around this in the past by creating my own scripts (usually Python), using loops to make as many API calls as needed for the desired inputs. I usually run these manually, but if scheduling is part of your requirement you might need to look into running them on a server.Good luck!

❄️ Holiday Traditions | Badge of the Month | December 2022

I cannot go past Christmas lunch - December is my "cheat month" when it comes to food (my birthday, Christmas, New Year) and Xmas lunch is my favourite. Turducken is the best 🤤Aside from that, whenever we would go interstate to my grandparents for Christmas, we would always gather around and watch "Dinner For One" on VHS. It is hilarious, I haven't seen it in years at this point. Might have to give it a spin this year!Dinner For One, Freddy Frinton and May Warden

Hi ruka,I've used Workflows a decent amount and the implementation is fairly straightforward.The "Web Service" task can be used to make API calls. You just add the endpoint URL and configure it as per the API reference.When setting up the Web Service you can test it. If it completes successfully, it will display the appropriate response variables which you can access in the rest of the workflow (eg: contactId, etc).So pretty much, you should be able to string together a few Web Service tasks to do exactly what you need :)

Hi jmborzick,It sounds like you might be able to use the Datasets API to tackle what you need. There are endpoints for deleting and updating records, which reference the primary key of each record so it should hopefully be straightforward.You can add API calls as a Web Service task in your workflow.Best of luck!

Is it possible to get email notification on who has not started a survey after certain days?

Hi Phoebe2022,If it's practical, I'd first suggest just downloading the distribution history directly within Qualtrics after 7 days. It contains a column which shows who has started the survey, finished it, etc. Anything beyond that is going to be more complicated.If you have access to API (and you don't mind a bit of coding/trial and error), you can use this endpoint to list the history of a particular distribution (this works similar to downloading the history within the Distributions screen in Qualtrics). Note that you might need to use this endpoint to figure out the ID of the distribution you want.You could set up a workflow to run after a week (or daily, if you need) containing a Web Service task that fetches the distribution history. Then you could use a Javascript task to gather all of the respondents that have not started the survey, put them in a list and send them with an Email task.Good luck!

Export Survery Stuck at 0% Complete

Hi gopherdata,Not entirely sure what is going on here but it does sound like that process is stuck somewhere serverside. My guess is that it won't "free up" until it times out or is killed off as a result of something else (eg: server maintenance).What happens if you try and set a different parameter in the body but keep the JSON format? eg: setting startDate to something different.Good luck!

JavaScript/embedded data calculation sometimes works, sometimes is zero

Hi hilaryk,Are you able to reproduce the conditions when you get the result of 0? Ideally given the same input, it should produce the same output.Also, if you don't want to use Qualtrics math, you might get the behaviour you want from the following:l1_overall.toFixed(2); //rounds to two decimals

Using the API for random assignment of a survey

Hi David_UB,If you're sending 20 different surveys, you will need 20 different distributions. Rather than randomly selecting a survey to send to a participant, you'll have an easier time randomly assigning participants to a distribution list, and then sending out each one.This endpoint allows you to create a mailing list.This endpoint creates a contact in a mailing list.And this endpoint allows you to distribute a given survey for a specified mailing list.So if I were you, I'd try to write a script that performs the following:Create 20 mailing lists (first endpoint), store the IDs of eachPair each mailing list with a survey IDRandomly iterate through each mailing list ID, creating a contact for one participant (second endpoint). Repeat until no more participants remain.Iterate through each mailing list ID, sending out a distribution (third endpoint) for the paired survey ID in step 2.As far as random selection goes, Python has a built in sampling function which performs selection witho

Confidentiality Breach with current 360°

Hi MaellePernelle,Your probably better of raising this with the Qualtrics support team to see if there's some special controls in the product you can use.My own two cents - assuming the report is accessible to all, couldn't anyone do this with an anonymous survey by asking a single person to take it? This seems like a social vulnerability rather than a technical one.The only solution I can think of would be to withhold access to reporting until a set date, or only update it after a certain number of responses etc.

Is there a way to modify the output to show the order of a JS randomization within a question?

Hi Eme,You could store the order in a single embedded field. Rather than copy+paste your entire function I've just put some notes below on where to try adding in some extra lines.//--- put this outside of your function ---//create an empty variable to store the ordervar order;//--- ---//--- add this to your function in the appropriate place ---//...pos = shuffle(pos);//add the shuffled position to the order arrayorder.push(pos,",");//set the order embedded field to the current order arrayQualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('order', order);for (let i = 0; i < pos.length; i++) {    document.querySelector(elem).appendChild(el[pos[i]]);}//... continue function as normalThis should store each shuffled position in an embedded field, separated by a comma.Good luck!

Java code timestamp each click on a grid

Hi Xixi,Not sure if this will fit your use case, but you could append all timestamps into the embedded field and then separate them later. This probably won't be ideal if you're running analysis within Qualtrics, but if you're exporting the results and have the freedom to parse them it might work.var AllTimeStamps = [];this.questionclick = function(event,element){   var timeStampOfAnswer = new Date(); AllTimeStamps.push(timeStampOfAnswer,","); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('timeStampOfAnswer_QID1', AllTimeStamps); }Not sure how well this will handle users going back and forth on your survey, or leaving and returning, but hopefully it's enough to get started.Good luck!EDIT: added a separator to the code block for easier parsing

How can I stop (early exit) randomized block (or loop and merge) under certain condition?

Hi SJeong,You should be able to solve this using display logic and a loop and merge. If all of the questions within a loop and merge set to be hidden, it will advance out of the loop. So all we need to do is set up your "Yes" choice to tell the display logic to hide the questions once it has been selected.In Survey Flow:Set an embedded field which we will call "Skip" and set it to 0:In your survey block:Set up a loop and merge to randomly repeat however many times.Set display logic to only display questions when Skip equals 0Add the following Javascript to your multiple choice question:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function(){    var SelectedChoices = this.getSelectedChoices();    if(SelectedChoices == 1) { Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("Skip", 1); }});If all works correctly, selecting "Yes" should set the Skip variable to 1 after submitting the multiple choice question. When the loop begins its next iteration, it will check the Skip variable and hide all questions,

Hi genkikun,You can do custom validation but it requires a little bit of programming. This thread here is actually a really good example you should be able to follow along.The tricky bit for you will be validating the date format. Dealing with dates and times in programming is generally notorious, and JavaScript has its own set of quirks on top of that. This StackOverflow answer addresses a problem similar to yours, otherwise some Googling should help you find your way.Good luck!

Hide next button until Youtube Video (inserted via HTML) is finished playing

Hi MadelineB,I am not familiar with the Youtube API but I imagine the syntax is different to the Vimeo one in your links (which I think some of your code is borrowed from). The documentation suggests to me that you could maybe do something similar:      // 2. This code loads the IFrame Player API code asynchronously.      var tag = document.createElement('script');      tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";      var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];      firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);      // 3. This function creates an (and YouTube player)      //    after the API code downloads.      var player;      function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {        player = new YT.Player('myvid', {          videoId: '//// WHATEVER ID YOU NEED ////',          playerVars: {            'playsinline': 1          },          events: {            // 'onReady': onPlayerReady, --- may not be necessary            'onStateChange': onPlayerStateCha
