Import data from one survey to another?

You can use email trigger to store information in a separate mailing list from Survey A and can use that in Survey B.

@JasonHill looks like @NK_Tripathi and @AnthonyR beat me to this. You basically need to make a Contact List Trigger in survey A to create a new mailing list with all the data you want from the survey as new embedded data. Then in surveys B and C you can use the Authenticator block in the Survey Flow to have them pull in whatever embedded data you attached in the mailing list and can include it using piped text. The Authenticator block also has the added benefit of making the surveys feel "connected" and cohesive to the survey taker. Note - Make sure that you use a unique field they need to enter in order to authenticate. If you have multiple johndoe@gmail.com in the mailing list, then the Authenticator will fail since it won't know which record to pull in.

Hi @JasonHill , One other option that may be simpler, provided one survey is always after the other, is to add information to the end of the URL in an end of survey element through query strings. If you have a survey https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cI6qsLrestOfsurveyID and you have a question you want to pass on, you pipe the answer to the end by adding a question mark a variable name and the value you would like to pass. so if you have a question on the college they are transferring to (QID2) and when they are transferring (QID34) and you would like to pass both variables as embedded data, you would use https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cI6qsLrestOfsurveyID?tran_college=${q://QID2/ChoiceTextEntryValue}&semester=${q://QID34/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices} Be sure to separate the different values with an ampersand (&).

Our workaround is creating Student IDs using a random number generator to ensure there aren't duplicates. The Contact List and Authenticator has been invaluable. I have an eight part registration, where each "survey" adds more information about the user. We've been able to follow each student from registration, training, testing and employment with four different companies filling in the information. Automatically pulling in embedded data from the Contact List ensures clean data.

Hi @JulieT and @JasonHill , You can use a single contact list if you have a survey dependent prefix for each variable in the contact list. So survey1_status is the status from survey1 and survey2_status is the status from survey 2. You need to be careful with the names, but then you don't need to have separate records for each individual in the contact list. One other issue with contact lists. If someone does not hit the last button on the survey, the contact list trigger will never be fired, as a result, the response will be moved from "response in progress" to "recorded responses" when the response is closed (either through pushing them to close or through expiration of the response set in survey options) but the data will never get to the contact list. This can be remedied by using a web resource element and pushing data to the contact list after each block or having a single page survey with all display logic set to in page. The web resource element would use the 2.5 qualtrics API to update contacts. Not all question types will allow in page display logic. Some options will cause page breaks in blocks. Good luck, Rett
