You can apply custom URL (GET) parameters to your survey if you need to collect more detailed data. Examples of this can be connecting an order ID, customer ID, country, customer name, etc. with each survey response.
Each URL parameter is applied per survey (not per account), and you can use an unlimited number of URL parameters.
Navigate to Get responses and select Link variables
2. Select Start with variables
3. Set up the parameter name and its variable(s) and click on Create
4. All unique links with predefined variables are listed in the menu now
Now you can:
a) Copy the link
b) Download a unique QR code for given link
c) Secure the link (hide the parameter and its variable)
You can create more parameters or add additional variables for already existing parameters at any time.
The variables for the parameter can be also overridden manually. More than one parameter is also possible to be created.
Parameters have to be always predefined directly in Survio. Variables for given parameter(s) can be added manually outside of the survey settings.
The first parameter can be manually added to the default survey link. After the default URL link of the survey you need to add ? symbol.
E.g. https://www.survio.com/survey/d/Y3F/CSAT-AUG-2022?parametername=variable
In case you have more parameters, you separated them with & symbol
E.g. https://www.survio.com/survey/d/Y3F/CSAT-AUG-2022?parametername1=variable¶metername2=variable¶metername3=variable
When the respondent answers your survey using a personalized URL with parameters, their responses along with the parameters will be visible in the overview of individual responses, and in the downloadable Excel and Google Sheets documents.
Filtering URL Parameters
If you use RUL parameters (link variables) on your survey, you can filter your results by the parameter values that were captured with each response. This lets you isolate or compare responses tied to a specific customer, project, region, campaign, or any custom identifier you passed in the URL.
To filter by a URL parameter value:
Go to Results of your survey
Click +Create a filter
Select URL parameters from filter options
In the filter type, select your GET parameter name and enter the value you want to filter by - for example
customer=AcmeCorp or OrderID=2356489Apply the filter to view only responses that came in with that parameter value
Please note that URL parameters are only included in our paid plans.
