Support Forums : Passing variables with email address

You can add query string variables to the survey link and then capture that information within hidden value fields in the survey (We are hoping to pull together a full blown tutorial on using query string variables soon).

For example, here is a made up basic survey link:

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/12345/my-survey

You could have your website build the link and add a variable named 'name':

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/12345/my-survey?name=Bob

These are automatically captured by the survey, but to be able to use the value within the survey for skip logic, it would be best to save it in a hidden value field (ADD ACTION > HIDDEN VALUE).

The 'value' of the hidden value field would be the merge code: [%%GET_name]

All query string merge codes take the form of [%%GET_xxx] where xxx represents the variable name. This stores the value of 'Bob' because that was what name= was in the query string. You would have one hidden value field for each variable in the query string, such as name and type … ?name=Bob&type=survey
