Use external data reference to pull directory data into web intercept survey response

Question

Hello! I have an XM contact directory with several embedded data fields. I am trying to pull them in as embedded into a web intercept survey response.  We have followed all the steps here: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/website-app-feedback/common-use-cases/xm-directory-integration-with-digital-intercepts/ When we look at our pages source, we can see the visitors are being identified properly with our internal customer number.  That number matches the External data reference field in the XM directory. We can’t figure out the next step. The support article says it will happen “automatically” but it isn’t. We can see our customer number as embedded data since we set it in the intercept and as an embedded data field in the survey. How do we connect the external data reference from our website to the directory? I am missing something. Thank you for your help. It seems this should be easy!

For anyone else who has this question, I figured it out!Simple oversight on my part. Within the XM Contact Directory settings, I did not make the fields available for use.Go to your Directory > Directory Settings > Dashboard Setup (on the left) > Choose your fields to make available in “View contact data in dashboards”You can then embed those fields in your intercepts with the data value type “XM Contact Directory Data” and enter the name exactly as it appears in your Directory!
