Hidden field not showing up in the Share URL

Question

We are working with a large data provider to send our survey to their panel. They use psid (person session id) to give each person they send the survey to a unique id. We have to reference this in our URL and in our re-direct.

So, I have added the hidden field “psid” to the form. I have added it to also to the re-direct. (see below image).

However, I can’t figure how to get the hidden field in our URL. The help pages say it should just “show up” in the URL once published, but we don’t get any hidden field in the URL. This is what the URL now looks like (where xxxx is our domain). There is no hiddenfield.

Our survey URL - no hidden field?

https://xxxx.typeform.com/to/SJWVNMhk

We are at wits end. How do we give our URL to our data provider to send out the survey correctly?

Thank you,

Sophie

@Sophie- have you added the hidden field to the target form?you would need to add this variable to the list so that you have a bucket into which the data can flow..go here first:thenthen add in the name of the hidden variableafter i publish the form the url for the typeform contains the string :#psid=xxxxxfor a redirect at the end, when you add the hidden variable it looks like this:and in the redirect url at the end of the quiz if you want to do it, when you click the + or use the @recall feature you get the following (at least in my form) which has the hidden psid variable when you build the url..does that help??des
