Hi everyone, I wanted to check if there is an out-of-the-box way in Qualtrics to capture/store the survey expiration date that is configured when setting up an email distribution.

For example, if an expiration date is set while scheduling a distribution, is that date/time available anywhere as a field or value that can be accessed within the survey, workflows?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi ​@gPandey_715 ,

I don't believe Qualtrics exposes the email distribution link expiration date as an out-of-the-box field that can be referenced within Survey Flow, Embedded Data, response data, or Workflows. While the expiration is associated with the distributed links and can be viewed in distribution management/history, it is not natively surfaced for survey logic or workflow use. If this date needs to be referenced, a workaround would be to store the planned expiration value as Embedded Data or a contact attribute and use that value throughout the survey/workflows.

Hi Gaurav- while it is not available as an OOB metadata field, you can get the value by using the Get Distribution API in the survey flow (or workflow).

 

api.qualtrics.com/f5b1d8775d803-get-distribution

 

You would need to call the Get Distribution API using the Distribution ID where the respondent received their invite from. This Distribution ID can be called in your survey flow using the OOB metadata field “Q_EMD” documented below.
