Using your own respondents to answer a survey

A guide on using the public link on Every

  1. Selecting your audience

    When creating a survey on Every, one of the first things you have to do is decide on your target audience, and part of this is deciding whether to use Every's respondents or your own. If you're planning to use your own respondents, the first thing you need to do is on the 'Configure targeting' page, where you need to click on 'I have my own', shown below:

  2. Using a general link vs using a customised link

    If you're going to be using a general link, that's very simple! Just use the shareable link provided here:

    If you need to track your respondents (to see which respondents have given what responses, to ensure that no one has answered the survey twice, etc), you should send each respondent a customised link.

    Assign each user a unique id. Unique ids can have only letters, numbers, and the symbols "-" and "_". Add ?id= followed by the unique id to the end of the link before sharing with each user.

    For example, if the general link is as follows:
    https://survey.getvase.com/p/xs-cc79beec-9ed9-4ab9-baf5-3af04f9c80d3


    And if you've given your respondent an id of "1234", then when inviting a user with a unique id of 1234, you would share the link below:
    https://survey.getvase.com/p/xs-cc79beec-9ed9-4ab9-baf5-3af04f9c80d3?id=1234

     

  3. Identifying which response belongs to which respondent ID

    Download your raw data using the steps shown here. Refer to column A to find the response ID of each respondent.


    The response IDs will all follow this format:
    xrp-${eightDigitHash}-${appendedID}


    So if you're looking for the user with the unique ID of "1234", you need to look for:
    xrp-<8 digit hash unique to your survey>-1234
