Embedded data based on URL parameter | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all,
I am struggling to set embedded data field value based on whether a URL contains a certain parameter.
I am using a Referer and Q_URL fields and want to set up embedded data based on, e.g. if the URL contains word "product" in it. The link is recorded correctly, but the Embedded data field is not populated. I use the following logic in the Survey flow:

You need to set the embedded data prior to the branch logic

Radam i did that in different ways, and as i mentioned, it is populated correctly, but the ED field i need is not :(

Oh well... I just started setting up the ED field after the End of Survey message in the Survey flow 🤪
Moved it up and it is working fine

To help actually see what is in the ED field you can add a text question and pipe the value of the ED into the text. I use this to troubleshoot variables to ensure what I'm looking for is actually what I'm getting.

Thanks, I was actually piping the URL part, not the ED Apparently by the end of this year my mental capabilities have drained :D
