Generate participant's survey responses and correct answers

I have a post-survey after a training with 10 questions. I would like for survey participants to automatically get their responses after completing the survey. We have a workflow that generates their responses and sends them to the participant after submitting. However, it does not show what the correct responses are, just the responses that the participant selected.

 

Is there a way to generate their responses and the correct responses to send to them? Or would we have to attach a PDF of the correct responses? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

How about considering using piped text to insert the question, respondents’ answer and type in the correct answer within the email?

Hi, you can use the same workflow and update the email task to also include the correct answers.

Thanks Tushar. So you suggest to just type out the correct responses in the email?

@stephenperez6 ,

In Qualtrics, the standard response report sent via workflow or email task will only show the participant’s answers, not the correct answers. To include both the participant’s responses and the correct answers in the summary sent to them, you have a few options:

1. Custom Summary Page in Survey Flow

  • You can use embedded data and scoring in the Survey Flow to calculate scores and display a custom summary page (e.g., an HTML table) immediately after the survey.
  • On this summary page, you can show:
    • The participant’s answers
    • The correct answers
    • The score for each question and overall score
  • This summary can be piped into the email task or included in the PDF response report if you use custom HTML and embedded data.

2. Custom PDF Attachment

  • If you want to send a PDF with both participant responses and correct answers, you’ll need to generate this summary in the survey (using embedded data and custom HTML), then use the email task to attach the PDF response report.
  • Note: The default response report does not include correct answers, so you must build this custom summary in the survey itself.

How to Set Up:

  • Use embedded data fields to store scores and correct answers.
  • Use scoring options in Qualtrics to calculate scores (see Scoring - Qualtrics).
  • After the last question, add a summary block in the Survey Flow that pipes in both the participant’s answers and the correct answers.
  • Use custom HTML or JavaScript if you want a more advanced table or layout.
  • When setting up your email task, include the summary in the body or attach the PDF response report.
