Generating a url-token in order to match participants-IDs of different sources

[Robert Roßner]

Hi there,

I'm planning a study with another workgroup. They use "Unipark" to collect their data from participants. Now I have the chance to implement my social-network-questionnaire which I have build in formr.

My recent study-URL reads https://mystudy.formr.org. In order to match the ID of the participants which they primarily get by Unipark with the formr automatically generated ID, the URL has to be able to transport this primarily generated Unipark-ID. Therfore my study-link has to end with something like "/?Unipark-ID=".

Does anybody know, how I can change my already existing study-URL in that way that it contains this token?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best

Robert

Hi Robert,

please have a look at the documentation at the get item. You just add this information to the link, the link itself does not need to change within formr. In the first survey, you will then have to add the get variable. 

So in unipark you would have on the page where the participants see the formr link (#lfdn# is the participant number in (german?) unipark:

https://formr.org/mystudy?param=#lfdn#

And then in the first survey you would have:

get param

as an item. This would then take the number from the link and store it in the first survey.

Hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Kai
