Start At Specific Question

You can start a survey at a specific question from the survey using the URL to skip the initial questions. This is useful when you want to link to a specific question from an external source or want to use the same survey in different parts of the user journey.


How to Use it?


1. In the Survey Editor, open the Questions Tab and ensure the survey is set as a Link Survey.


2. Find the question you want to start at, click on Show Advanced Settings, and copy the Question ID.


Each question has a unique Question ID, which is used to identify it in the survey. You can use different Question IDs for multiple startAt points in the URL.


3. Append ?startAt=question_id to your survey's URL, replacing question_id with the copied Question ID.


4. Share this modified URL with your users to start the survey at the specified question.
