The steps in short, also see the attached GIF (complete information can be found here: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/standard-elements/passing-information-through-query-strings/):

  1. Create a publication/distribution link for the survey (single reusable link).
  2. Append "?ID=[NUMBER]" to this link, replacing the yellow part with the desired number.
  3. TIP: You can easily create such links in Excel. In the first column, paste the link + "?ID=" and repeat as necessary. In the second column, enter the desired numbers. If you start with a few numbers in sequence, Excel can automatically fill them in. In the third column, concatenate the two.
  4. In Qualtrics, go to the Survey Flow and create an embedded element named "ID"; leave the value field empty (it will be filled from the URL).
  5. Optional: To quickly check if it's working, you can pipe ID into one of the questions, as Amber did in her example.
  6. IMPORTANT: Republish the survey each time you make changes to it.
  7. Use one of the links and take the survey.
  8. Afterward, go to the Data & Analysis tab and download the data.
  9. In the data, there should be a column named ID. In it, you should find the number from the link you used.

Note: If you manually modify existing links with new numbers, for example, if you want to change this link https://leidenuniv.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6hxuKeErUY8C6zA&ID=1 to ID=2, it's not enough to change only the number in the text. What can happen is this: https://leidenuniv.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6hxuKeErUY8C6zA&ID=2 In this link, it seems like ID=2, but if you click on the link, you'll see in the browser that ID still remains at 1. To adjust it correctly, right-click on the link and then select "Edit Hyperlink." The number must be correct in both the "Text to display" and "Address" fields.
