Use a link to access your campaign. E.g.: send via your external service or share the link with a colleague. The URL generator allows you to boost your data collection when you distribute your questionnaire via a URL. You quickly increase the quantity and quality of the data collected, all within a simple URL (apparently)! Save time while benefiting from a powerful and very easy-to-deploy tool!
Requirements
Some prerequisites are necessary before using the URL generator:
- Have created a questionnaire. Need help? Check out the article How to create my questionnaire?
- Define a segment. Need help? Check out the article How to create a Segment?
- Attach attributes to your segment. Need help? Check out the article What is an Attribute?
Prepare and generate a URL
First, from the "Campaign" tab, access the questionnaire you want to distribute via URL.
Then, in the "Segment" section of your campaign, verify that your attributes are correctly associated with your segment.
Here, our segment includes three attributes: Client ID (customer_id), Order ID (transaction_id), Country (country_code), and Client Email (email).
From the Distribution tab of your campaign, create a new distribution by clicking on the "Create distribution" button.
Then choose the URL, Email, or SMS format from an external solution.
You can now click on the "URL Generator" button.
The attributes attached to our segment appear with free fields to fill in the values.
To fill in the field on the right, you can:
- Either click on use the code, if you have integrated the code when creating the attribute:
- Or leave the field empty, in which case it will be completed with “Value” and in your emailing tool manually replace “Value” with the variable code.
The first solution is recommended.
Here we use the values from the tool responsible for sending emails, SMS (mailing tools, ticketing tools, CRM, etc.) connected to Skeepers.
Here are the values for us:
*transaction_id* in our external tool corresponds to the “Transaction ID” attribute on Skeepers
*customer_email* in our external tool corresponds to the "Client Email" attribute on Skeepers
*customer_country* in our external tool corresponds to the "Client Country" attribute on Skeepers
All that's left to do is click "Generate" and the URL is now available!
That's it. 👍
This URL now allows you to:
- Easily distribute your questionnaire using the generated URL
- Collect new data on Skeepers and automatically enrich your CRM
Do you want to obfuscate (hide) or secure the attributes in the URL, we offer two methods:
- Base64 encoding to limit the visibility of attributes in the URL;
- AEAD method (authenticated encryption with associated data) to simultaneously ensure data confidentiality and authenticity.
