Qualtrics Setup Guide

This article will show you how to configure your Qualtrics survey to pass respondent IDs using variables and properly redirect respondents upon survey completion, termination, and quota fulfillment.

Step 1: Pass respondent IDs into your survey (0:15 of video)

  • Navigate to Survey Flow in the upper left.

  • Select Add a New Element > Embedded Data.

  • Type aid (this will store respondent IDs).

  • Drag this Embedded Data field to the top of your Survey Flow to ensure IDs are captured.

  • Select Add a New Element > Embedded Data.

  • Type gc and set its value to 1 (this helps track completed responses in Qualtrics).

Step 2: Add a completion URL (0:37 of video)

Redirect respondents who complete your survey successfully.

  • In Survey Flow, select Add a New Element > End of Survey.
  • Click Customize > Override Survey Options > Redirect to a URL.
  • Paste in your Completion URL (provided on your project-specific submission page).
  • Click OK.

Step 3: Add a termination URL (1:10 of video)

Redirect respondents who are disqualified based on screening criteria.

  • Below a question block, select Add Below > Branch.
  • Set a condition for a response-based screen-out (e.g., selecting “Extremely Unlikely”).
  • Click OK to confirm the condition.
  • Add a New Element > End of Survey
  • Click Customize > Override Survey Options > Redirect to a URL.
  • Paste in https://r.centiment.co/r/client/terminate?aid=${e://Field/aid}
  • Click OK > Apply

To ensure respondents are screened out as early as possible, it’s recommended to apply screen-out logic at the question level, outside of the Survey Flow

Step 4: Add an over-quota URL (1:54 of video)

Redirect respondents when a quota has been filled.

  • Navigate to Quotas in the left panel.
  • Under your quota condition, select Quota Options > Redirect to a URL.
  • Paste in https://r.centiment.co/r/client/over-quota?aid=${e://Field/aid}
  • Click Publish to finalize your survey setup.

You're all set up! Next, you'll need to collaborate with Centiment's account.
