Individualized Links Embedded in a Survey

I’m not aware of a way to dynamically create personal links, but you can append URL embedded data fields using piped in data from current survey (e.g. “?email=${m://Email1}&Field1=${e://Field/Field1}), this way you will have all the identifying information you need in the second survey.

@ScottG Thanks for your reply! I am adding some more details below to help clarify. I see how my post and question was confusing.

I will be creating this study in Qualtrics, but running this study in Prolific. The links are already created and available to me, but I am trying to figure out how to include them into my survey.

The links that I want to include in my Qualtrics survey will transfer each participant to a website (let’s call the website “Z”) where they will complete another survey. The owner of “Z” is allowing me to use “Z” to administer their survey to my participants. The “Z” survey has to stay in their website because it uses complex branching logic and has approximately 300 possible questions. It would be too cumbersome to make in Qualtrics, which is why we are using individualized links to transfer my participants to “Z” to complete their questionnaire. 

Once completed, “Z” will hold the responses for each of my participants - that are only accessible/recognizable to me through individualized links that I need to put in my Qualtrics. This is because “Z” is open-access to the public and holds responses for everyone else who uses it - which is why I have to use individualized links, because I can only distinguish my participants’ data by those survey links. This helps me to preserve the privacy of my participants and not confuse it with other people who use “Z,” because I will later need to pair my participants’ responses in “Z” to their responses to other measures in my Qualtrics survey.

In sum, I need a way to include multiple individualized survey links to “Z” in my Qualtrics study, so that no participants gets the same link as someone else (because it would override their data). Is there a way to include multiple links (perhaps as different “questions” in my Qualtrics survey), but make it so that each participant only sees/can use one link, and no one link is repeated across participants?

I hope this makes more sense. Thank you!

If the owner of the Z survey can create individual survey links that are unique for each participant, you can upload those links as embedded data in your email list, then pipe it into your Qualtrics survey. The participants will see only the link associated with their contact record.
