How to use 'Transaction Date' in survey

ManfredBM
To access the transactional data you do need to create that as embedded data. But in order to access the timestamp I am wondering are you sending the timestamp via the Import automation. As that's the data we are pulling in the survey.

What do you mean by "sending the timestamp via the Import automation"?
I'm importing the time stamp in the following way:
I can access the other three fields in my survey flow (e.g. Call_ID). But how would I access the "Transaction Date"?

ManfredBM
The same way you set up others you can include this field in the survey flow as embedded data if you are generating links for that particular transaction via linked distribution. Also, to change it from ISO to yyyy-mm-dd format you can use javascript.
Something like this on load and add the actual date in a different embedded data as below used is Date.
var strDate = "2013-03-10T02:00:00Z";
strDate.substring(0, 10);
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'Date', strDate );
Hope it helps!

Deepak
Is the field name then 'Transaction Date'?

ManfredBM
Yes, include that in survey flow. If that is not filled try this "transactionDate".
Hope it helps!

Hi, I tried both Transaction Date and transactionDate, but neither of those seems to provide me with the transaction date value… (other transaction-related fields work fine, so my survey response is correctly linked to the transaction)

I have the same issue where all transactional data fields embed except transaction date. I have tried every spelling under the sun; has anyone found a fix for this?

Hello,

Any luck on this? Facing the same issue...

I did came up with a kind of work-around method, but I can’t believe it’s impossible to retrieve the transaction date in the survey by easier means. I tried many spellings as well with no luck.

Here’s how I managed to retrieve it :

• Add RecipientID at the beginning of the survey flow
• Web service call on https://api.qualtrics.com/3f5cc206e853e-get-contact-transaction (pipe in RecipientID as {transactionId} in the call)
• Store result.transactionDate in another date format ED

Hi, I had this problem too and asked help to the support. The solution is to add this default variable in the survey flow of the questionnaire : Q_TransactionDateTime.
