Pre-filling a survey for users linking from an email campaign | XM Community
Skip to main content

Firstly, I’m brand new to Qualtrics.

I’ve been testing passing a parameter through the URL using both field name and QID and neither work to help me pre-fill a survey for registrants. I have a survey that will both be completed by random people who find it, as well as being targeted to known users. So, for the users that complete it via a targeted email, I’d like the variable data fields in the email help customize their link so that their survey can be partially filled based on the data I know about that person. 

The issue is: when I test passing a parameter, ie URL?Name=Joe or URL?QID=Joe, neither work. I’ve also tried to do this as embedded data. That works, but doesn’t do it within the survey field, which is what I’m looking for.

Have you tried Q_PopulateResponse, this should help you fill in correctly based on QID.

Support page should be helpful.

Thanks. I just tried that. The behavior of that is odd, it only inserts a single character into the QID from what I pass into it, starting with the second character, ie 

?Q_PopulateResponse={"QID1":"Joe"} only puts the “o” into QID1

If you are using Qualtrics email distribution, the we also use question default choice to pipe the contact first name in the question.
