    Info

    For PureSpectrum to properly record respondent actions, we append a [transaction_id] in the Redirect URL. When returning the respondent back to PureSpectrum, we need both the [transaction_id] & appropriate status [st].

    Definitions:

    [transaction_id] is the unique, Per Session Transaction ID.

    [st] is the status code for Complete, Term, Overquota, or other redirects

     

    We will take your entry URL, and append “&transaction_id=[transaction_id]”.

    For example http://yoursurvey.com/survey1 will become

    http://yoursurvey.com/survey1?transaction_id=123456 .

    If you need to receive transaction_id in a different form, review the  Manage Buyer Settings instructions. 

    The Test URL is used to create the “Test Link” that is available to both you & the suppliers that you have chosen. If you have a variation of your live URL that is used for testing, enter it in the "Test URL" field.

    Info

    If no “Test URL” is present, the “Live URL” will be used to create the “Test Link”. Additionally, the “Test Link” adds security bypass variables to allow for testing.


    Before testing and launching your survey, please be sure our redirect links are implemented.

    After the respondent is finished taking the survey, you must redirect them back to us, including the [transaction_id] & appropriate redirect status [st] code.

    Redirect Codes are as follows:

    Status Status Code
    Complete  21
    Termination  18
    Over Quota 17
    Quality  20
    Dedupe  30

    Returned URLs should follow:

    Status Redirect
    Completes https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=21&transaction_id=[transaction_id]
    Over Quota https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=17&transaction_id=[transaction_id]
    Termination https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=18&transaction_id=[transaction_id]
    Dedupe https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=30&transaction_id=[transaction_id]
    Quality https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=20&transaction_id=[transaction_id]

    If using the Qualtrics platform, Returned URLS should be implemented as follows:

    Status Qualtrics Redirect
    Completes https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=21&transaction_id=${e://Field/transaction_id}
    Over Quota https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=17&transaction_id=${e://Field/transaction_id}
    Termination https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=18&transaction_id=${e://Field/transaction_id}
    Dedupe https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=30&transaction_id=${e://Field/transaction_id}
    Quality https://spectrumsurveys.com/surveydone?st=20&transaction_id=${e://Field/transaction_id}

    To add a soft launch to your survey, toggle to switch to "on".

    Warning

    The soft launch feature will pause the survey after the estimated number of Buyer Survey Starts has been reached. This number is based on the stated Incidence Rate. If the number of completes is met before this goal is reached, the survey will be paused. The survey may pause due to performance before the soft launch is met.
