How can I connect response data from 2 different surveys?

Participants fill Survey1. A the end of the Survey 1 they are randomly directed to one of the 2 websites (website1 or website2). Thus, the participant leaves Survey 1 and goes to the website he was randomly assigned to. From that website, he clicks a link which directs him to Survey2. I want to connect the answers of the same participant across the 2 surveys. Is this possible? What are the steps? I have tried to put query strings and embedded data but I had to terminate Survey1 by directing them to Survey 2, but I don't want that, because participants need to be directed to the website. Thank you in advance for your help!

If you control the websites you can pass a parameter such as the Survey1 ResponseID to the websites and the websites can include it as a parameter in the Survey2 links. Obviously, your web pages can't be straight html. They would have to have a script component to get the input parameter and use it to dynamically build the Survey2 link.

Tom thanks a lot for your reply. However, can you provide me with more details? I am not familiar at all with html and scripts.

ResponseID is a reserved embedded variable name that Qualtrics populates. You would just include it as a parameter in a redirect link to your website, for example: ``` https://mywebsite.com/myscript.php?respid=${e://Field/ResponseID} ```

How can I pass along the Request ID from 1 survey to next (not through my website but Qualtrics Website). I would like if they answer a question, instead of branching logic it takes you to the separate survey, and each survey refers to the other (as recorded response).
