Response in Survey 1 determines questions in surveys 2-6

@Matter The easiest way would be to pass the information as query strings for the survey links of the follow up surveys. But whether you can use this setup depends a little bit on how your surveys are connected and how you will distribute the follow-up surveys.

If you work with mailing lists you could enrich the contacts of the mailing lists by creating contact list triggers in the first survey with the answer data assigned to additional fields. You can create the mailing lists for the follow-up surveys either with the trigger or already beforehand and you just update them with the information. If you have only 1 mailing list for all follow-up surveys, create 1 contact list trigger. If you have separate lists, create one for each. If you use the same mailing list as for the first surveys as well for all others (as your participant group does not change), just enrich this mailing list with a trigger. In all cases you can use the information from the mailing list then in the follow-ups.

Alternatively you could also save the relevant response data to the directory contact as embedded data which will also make it available for other surveys but this is no nice solution as such data should not be contact data.

If you have the time to manually export and upload response data from the first survey after the first day, you could also work with supplemental data which can then be searched within the follow-up surveys.

I would be interested how exactly you distribute your surveys. 🙂

Hi @chackbusch,

Thank you very much for your reply!

I plan on distributing my surveys through a single mailing list. Once someone completes the first survey (out of a total of 7), the workflow is set to distribute the follow-up surveys the next day. After completing the second survey, the day 3 survey will be sent the following day and ect. 

Thus, I hope for the follow-up surveys to branch based on answers from the day 1 survey.

In addition, it is important that respondents ID is kept anonymous. 

How would you recommend achieving this with these requirments?

Thank you for your time and support!

@Matter If you work with one mailing list for all surveys I would use a contact list trigger for the 1st survey and update the mailing list by adding the answers as additional attributes.

How did you set up the workflow that someone receives the 2nd survey after completing the 1st?

What do you mean by „In addition, it is important that respondents ID is kept anonymous“? You distribute personal links, right?

Best

Christian

@Matter This might also be interesting for you but it does not directly chain rather than waiting a day for the next survey.
