I haven't found a way to send reminders to my users with links that will take them to specific questions.

In more details: I know some users stopped answering my survey on question 5. I can easily extract this list of users via API. Then I'd like to mail them a reminder saying "You stopped on question 5, come on, there are only 2 more questions. Click here to be taken to the last two questions.". I have coded something here to integrate LimeSurvey to our internal systems and I'm able to extract lists of users that match specific conditions (like in which question they stopped), get their e-mail addresses and tokens, and create/send them the custom reminders using our EMM software. The problem is: How do I create links that direct the user to the first question he hasn't answered yet?

As a secondary problem: If this is somehow possible, would it also load the previous answers and respect the survey logic? In other words, would the user be able to press back and see his answers to previous questions? If the last questions logic depend on his answers to the first questions, would the logic still work with these direct links?

Example: Suppose we have a 3 questions survey. A user stopped on question 1 some days ago. Question 2 should only show if the user answered "Yes" on question 1. He did not, he answered "No". We find out a way to create direct links on reminders and mail the user a direct link to continue the survey from where he stopped (which would be Question 2). Would Question 2 show (which would be wrong) or would the survey immediately jump to question 3 (respecting the survey logic based on previous answers)?

Thanks

Have a look at "token-based response persistence" - manual.limesurvey.org/Survey_settings#Tokens . Respondents should be returned to the survey where they left off.

Cheers,
