Is it possible to assign unique URL to each unique typeform submission?

Hi @peterdeitz ,

We don’t currently have a way to import a list of items via CSV at the moment, so this wouldn’t be possible, but I can submit this as a feature request for you. :) The only close workaround I can think of would be to use recalled variables to recall an answer in the form and input that into the redirect URL, but I’m not sure if this would be very helpful if your URLs are already preset. 

I’m sorry that’s not super helpful, but if I do hear of another solution, I’ll post it here. :) 

Thanks @lizattypeform. I knew I was reaching for the stars in my request. To generalize the feature request further, I would describe it as:

Capability:

Assign and present a pre-defined variable (could be a URL, secret word, team name)

Options:

1. 1 to 1 OR 1 to many (i.e. each pre-defined variable could be assigned to only one submission OR the same-predefined variable could be assigned to multiple submissions)
2. Assign randomly or in a sequence
3. Assign the variable up to a certain number of times (i.e. Team Blue to 5 submissions)

To Import variables:

• Via CSV or in a text area (separated by lines)

Thanks! I could se this becoming a powerful capability that is made good use of by power users. It allows for a level of interactivity that form-filling-out usually lacks.

@lizattypeform - the import list from CSV is something that I had asked about via support going back 6-8 months ago: I have a whole series of assessments that are already in existence in Excel (from 50 to 400 question projects) and would not really want to have to type them into a question list. It would be really handy to have the ability to import the list of questions into typeform based on something like “all questions are imported as a yes/no question by default - if you want to change the question type, you will have to do so after import” 

That would turn my ‘stuff’ into useable, sellable assessments SOOOOO much faster - right now it will take me about 6 months to do the input in the off hours of the evenings.. 

happy to discuss 

thanks

This is really detailed, thanks @peterdeitz. We’ll make sure it reaches the right person @ Typeform.

@Nordin - glad you had a great holiday … and thanks for sharing the thoughts on both issues. 

Let me know if you need someone to test the ETR/CSV import ‘utility’ you mention - i will gladly try that out.. The API approach sounds like it will make sense - I will have to look into that over the weekend (not so sure on my scripting skills at the moment but … lol)

thanks for point us in a possible direction

@Nordin My unique issue involves a redirect URL and your answer is very helpful. Thank you.

In my abstraction of my needs to a more general use case, the idea of assigning pre-defined variables to submissions based on information provided or randomly, is a third thing altogether. I’d be happy to elaborate on how this capability would significantly turbo-charge Typeform as it’s a capability absent from virtually every other ‘survey’ solution. 

The closest similar product that I know of is SendOwl, which can assign codes/urls/file-attachments to unique e-commerce orders. Typeform could encompass that use case but then take it a step further to help automate the actioning on submissions in general. This may not be of interest to the product team and apologies if the idea is not helpful / too esoteric.

Are we able to import names from csv files now?

Hi @newtosurveys22 It’s not possible to upload a data file to Typeform, but you can use a CRM service to pass in the data like this.
