I am trying to build a “question per day” survey that stretches over a long period of time. To do this, I was hoping to block a survey respondent from moving onto the next question until either A) the next calendar day has arrived, or B) a certain amount of time has passed (e.g. 12 hours). Is this possible with Typeform?

Time restriction to move onto next question

- create a hidden variable in the form called v_day
- in the url to the typeform in my daily email prompt, i add the hidden field to the url ie #v_day=one&email={{subscriber.email}} (i add the email address i know who is coming in..and and you use extract that from your ESP/CRM will change the syntax)
- in the typeform, i use the logic rules for hidden fields to determine where to start ie
- if v_day = one then go to q1
- if v_day = two then go to q2
- if v_day = three then go to q3
- then on each question i put in place an ‘always go to ending X’ statement
it’s a bit of a slog to put the logic rules in place at the start but once it is done it works a treat.
in your email sequence, set up the daily mail to go out and make sure you set up the v_day variable to point to the correct day..
(i have a 365 day writing challenge that i use this for as well.. )
cheers
