Expired Link error - but it hasn't? | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi all,



One of my users is getting the expired link error when clicking a personalised link. The link isn't due to expire until 2099, and the survey is not showing in the recorded responses list or the responses in progress list.

When looking at the distribution list again, there is no Response ID next to the link, so I would assume it hasn't even been clicked yet. However, that is definitely the link that they have.



I've tried it myself and get the same error, so I don't think it's a browser issue.



Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks @bansalpeeyush29

I've been through that, and it's not any of the three things it suggests.

* The link was created to expire in 2099

* The survey doesn't have an expiration date

* The survey won't record partial completions until this time next year, and it's not in the recorded responses list, or the responses in progress list.



I'm so puzzled....
In that case i think you need to contact support team, they may better help on this.
Hi, @LTaylor! There are various reasons for seeing the expired link error, and every use case is different! We see that you've reached out to our Support Team about your specific use case, which may be related to a change in project ownership or contact list deletion. If you have any additional questions, be sure to reach back out to the support representative you were previously working with! 😃
Same problem. I'm the creating of the project so ownership so not be a problem. I also created the contact list just for this particular survey. I have reached out to support to see what the issue is. Disappointed this turned out to be much more complicated than it needs to be.
In my case, i copied a previous survey and renamed it. But I did not change the expiration settings. If that sound similar to your situation go to "Survey Options". Scroll down the pop-up to "Survey Expiration" There you can reset the date. After I saved the new information I then had to publish the survey.

great answer - exactly what's needed

Thanks for the guidance, this helped. Turns out my Survey has a FIRM expiry date (2 months ago). So went to Survey - Options - Responses - under the heading 'Survey availability' I selected 'leave survey open'. Then when distributing I chose my preferred expiry (eg. 60 days).
