How it Works

To track the source of users in your link surveys effectively, follow these steps:

  1. Generate Survey URL: Create a Link Survey and get the sharable link. Append ?source=YourSouce to the link to reference it with your campaigns and sources.

Example Source as Google

  1. Collect Data: When users access the survey through these links, the URL parameters will capture the source information from which they were shared.

  2. View Responses: Use the collected source data to analyze where your survey respondents are coming from. You can hover over the user icon in the responses tab to see the source of the user.
