The Structure of a Link Including URL Parameters

Learn about the structure of a survey link with appended URL Parameters

Now that we have learned the benefits of passing URL Parameters into your Segmanta survey, let's learn about the structure of a survey link with parameters.

Example

We will add the following parameters into the query string of a survey link:

• First name
• Last name
• Age 

Let's say the following two respondents took the survey:

                   1. Mark Zuckerberg, Age 17

                   2. Jane Doe, Age 27

Now, let's break it down:

1. https://surveys.segmanta.com/publicid  

• This is your survey link without any URL Parameters.

2. first_name and last_name are names of parameters

• You can define any parameters and any number of parameters you'd like. 
• Please note: each parameter has to be encoded using an equivalent of the encodeURIComponent.
• first_name=value1
• last_name=value2

3. mark and zuckerberg are values

• Each value has to be encoded using an equivalent of the encodeURIComponent. Unlike parameters, generally, values will change with each survey respondent.
• first_name=mark
• last_name=zuckerberg

Survey Link

Format template
segmanta.com/s/surveyId/?first_name=value1&last_name=value2&age=value

Your survey link:
segmanta.com/s/123abc/?first_name=mark&last_name=zuckerberg2&age=21

Now that you understand the structure of a link with URL Parameters, let's learn how to build a survey link with parameters .
