Heat map piped text | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all,
I was wondering whether any of you knew of how to pipe forward a REGION number from a heat map click to another question? When I try to pipe forward an "answer" to a heat map question it only allows me to do so using the x and y coordinates of the click which is pretty meaningless. I want to pipe forward the region number so I can say something like "in the previous question, you selected X cell in the matrix.

Many thanks!

Hi A_Liefgreen8, this is possible but is not as straightforward as you might have anticipated. Basically, you would need to employ Branch Logic in Survey Flow (see the example screenshot below).
Essentially, you can branch based on the Hot Spot region that has been clicked/selected, then set a value in an Embedded Data field. You can then pipe the embedded data field value into your next question. Obviously this would mean that your Hot Spot question would need to exist in a separate Block to your follow-up question containing the piped region number.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Cameron
