View Individual survey links | XM Community
Skip to main content

I have a workflow which imports contacts, with a number of embedded data fields, daily through the Qualtrics File Service. It then uses an XM Directory task to add these contacts to a mailing list, and distribute the survey via email to each contact.

This task uses individual links to send the survey. 

The survey will have some individuals who receive the email, but never complete the survey; in fact, some won’t even start the survey. In this case, for both individuals who have started but not finished the survey, and also for individuals who never even clicked the link in the email, I need a way to view the link that they received (effectively, a way to complete the survey for them). 

I was wondering if this is possible? Do I somehow have to switch over to using personal links, which isn’t even an option for XM Directory Tasks? or is there some functionality i’m missing. I thought of using Q_URL as an embedded data field, but this would only work for contacts who actually start the survey, not for those who never started it.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I don’t think there is a functionality in Qualtrics like this.


@madeline_b This API will give you the history of the Distribution, it will also include the individual link and status of it so you can know which one opened the survey, started it….etc and the link of that survey

The distribution history from you survey itself also contains the link, if you don’t want to use the API.
