Hi there. You have good clear on instructions on how to pass a variable from Mailchimp into a Videoask if you Videoask is embedded in an email.  You mention three specific variables you can pass from Mailchimp: Email, Name, and Phone.  I want to pass the email from Mailchimp as you indicate, but I also want to pass a custom variable which I will set at the time of embedding (basically a question number telling me what question they answered, which helps me number responses). I have tried all different formats in the code - adding it onto the url the usual way I have in website embeddings (#question_number=3200), adding it in the Mailchimp format after ?autoplay=true (#question_number=*|3200|*) etc.  I can’t quite seem to figure it out.  Appreciate any suggestions.

Hey @Jeanne Dimmick good to see you here! 

I’ve not tried it myself, but I believe a custom variable should work.

Are you adding it to both places in the code block in mailchimp?

Thanks.  I did get it to work, making sure it was in both places and in the following format in the url: 

?autoplay=true#question_number=300&contact_email=*|EMAIL|*"

 

Thanks!
