If you are launching a survey to your own list of respondents, aytm's List Survey, you can assign a unique identifier to help with your data analysis. You can include a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) at the end of the link to a List Survey in order to track the responses by source or individual. The UUID can be anything you need, as long as that specific link goes to the right person.
1. Building Unique Identifiers
To track respondents clicking on your survey from Facebook or Instagram, create two unique UUIDs—one for each platform—and append them to your survey links.
Alternatively, append the respondent's email address as a reliable identifier to enable precise source attribution and analysis.
Example Structure
-
Base link:
aytm.com/yoursurveylink -
Parameter:
?uuid=
| Platform/Method | Tracking Link |
|---|---|
aytm.com/yoursurveylink?uuid=facebook |
|
aytm.com/yoursurveylink?uuid=instagram |
|
| Email (john.doe@example.com) | aytm.com/yoursurveylink?uuid=john.doe@example.com |
Post the corresponding link on each platform to accurately track clicks.
2. How it works
When a respondent clicks a link with a UUID, aytm will:
- Capture the information so that you will see it in your results.
- The UUID will be available in the Excel/CSV data exports from your survey and will be available as a filter in the reports page.
- You can append other specific variables to your survey links as well; however, each link may only have a single UUID associated with it.
Note: This feature is only available for paid accounts.
