Intermittent logic issue with linked url experiment | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi there,
I have a setup where a participant does two question blocks followed by a block with a link (Orient block - parent window target link) to a jspsych experiment hosted on pavlovia. The experiment runs and records a variable called response_median which (if = 0.5) indicates whether the participant has properly attempted the experiment. At the end of the experiment, the qualtrics survey url (plus a query sting with the response_median) returns the participant to the survey.
The survey has two branches as outlined in the screenshot below:

  1. if response_median = 0.5 (not properly attempted) then shows a block (6) saying so and takes the participant back to the experiment link block.

  2. if response_median does not equal 0.5 (has properly attempted) and response_median is not empty ( indicating that participant has completed the first question blocks) - then survey ends

The issue: strangely sometimes this works and but most of the time it doesn't - specifically response_median = 0.5 but the survey does not go down that branch - but rather goes down the response_median does not equal 0.5.
My question is where have I stuffed this up?

Hi Cluster! It looks like you were able to connect with a Product Specialist in regards to this setup, and what you are trying to accomplish is not currently possible with the system functionality. For others looking for a similar setup, the recommendation was to pass through some UniqueID from the first survey session to the external site and back into Qualtrics. This would allow you to manually match responses based on Unique ID which will allow you to have access to a clean dataset. If that is not an option, then the survey needs to be redesigned (i.e. send them to the external site first before coming into Qualtrics). If anyone is trying to setup something similar, we recommend reaching out to our Support team, as they are best equipped to help!
