Qualtrics - Survey Authentication

Context

Sometimes you need all the benefits of a unique survey link without actually creating or sending out a unique link. Authenticators allow you to do just this, letting you collect responses that are connected to contact list information without generating unique links. Authenticators make this possible by having respondents “log in” to take a survey. This means that you can copy the Anonymous Link to a website or into an email and still track who has responded. Only people who are listed in your contact list can take the survey, so you won’t collect unwanted responses even when using the Anonymous Link.

Set Up

Read this article for detailed steps on how to set up an authentication in your survey flow.

Please note that if you need to update the authentication in your survey flow, but have already "published" your survey and started to collect responses, you must:

1. pause your survey response collection
2. make your change to the authentication in the survey flow
3. resume your survey response collection
