How to have a question refer back to answers from previous answers (or another form)?

V

Hello,

We are doing a post-program survey after 12 weeks and would like the questions for each participants to refer back to the answers they gave 12 weeks ago in the pre-program form.

It would be displayed like this:

i.e. 12 weeks ago, you said “[previous answer]”

 

Ideally, there would be an integration that can use hidden fields to track who is filling the form The description would show the custom answers.

Maybe it’s linked with the previous form, or maybe it’s linked through the excel spreadsheet? I also don’t mind including the info manually maybe through hidden fields or variables?

Thanks for any insights on this,

Hi @VanessaA369 Happy Wednesday! While we don’t natively have this feature available, are you using a CRM system to send the responses to by chance? If so, then you could use a hidden field solution like this. 

Life is a series of awkward moments separated by snacks.

We use Mailchimp, but I’m not sure if that specific need would work with this setup. How would we capture the answers into their Mailchimp contacts?

The solution would depend on two things:

  • where are the original responses stored
  • how do you send the second survey

You need to combine both to prefill links using hidden fields.

Maybe there is a step where you need to extract CRM information to store them on Mailchimp at the contact level, and then use Mailchimp merge tags to pass this information to the form.
