Hi!

Just wondering if this is possible in LimeSurvey. The goal is to send one small survey to who can enter email addresses of the people he/she needs to contact and another or part 2 of the first survey is then sent to those people.

Survey 1: We send out a small survey to one person, asking to input email addresses in the survey. He/she can add (multiple) rows accordingly. These email addresses (contacts) will then be used to send an invite to Survey 2 or part 2.

Survey 2: Full survey/2nd part which will then be filled out by these individuals.

Any help/tips/solutions are appreciated. Thanks :)

The answer to your question is "yes". You can create two surveys and take the emailaddresses from the first survey for sending invitations for the second survey. I wonder what tips you're asking for? I recommend to test LimeSurvey over a few weeks for a few hours. If you already have used other survey tools, you might have expectations LimeSurvey cannot fullfill.

Hi Jelo, thanks for your prompt reply. And yes, agreed, that's why I have been testing it thoroughly (perhaps not enough still...) and before I start reinventing the wheel again, I thought I'd open a topic on it here.

Hi Gabrieljenik, thanks for the reply. Great to know you have a solution. It would be useful to share your findings with the community here on the forum perhaps?

Your description might not contain the amount of automatization you expect.
That is often the gap, which sometimes get filled via plugins or workarounds.

I realise this and therefore asking for the community's input here. I have 2 talented developers to my exposal, so any tips/leads or solutions would be great.

The 360 solution is a paid package. Still, you could use this plugin from Sondages gitlab.com/SondagesPro/surveyRegister

(Hope is fine to recommend stuff from others)

I didn't know this was a paid feature but I will have a look and forward the gitlab link to my developers. Thanks so far :)

Your threadstarting post isn't explicit stating that you want to automate the whole process.

Your developers would ask for an exacter description of what the workflow should be.
After the workflow is well defined, your developer will find more infos here.
manual.limesurvey.org/Development_overview

From a developer point of view you would then look for plugins (commercial and free ones) first.
E.g. when you want to automatically send emails, you will need an external tool for just that.

Included solution

Update basic admin notifications email with something like this

Something invited you to do this survey
example.org/1234

Please do it


Put the email in a multiple short text question type with title "EMAILINVITE"

Put {list(EMAILINVITE)} in the admin notification email …

It's done

For a better system : use manual.limesurvey.org/AfterSurveyComplete event to create tokens and send email from another survey.
Sample plugin : gitlab.com/SondagesPro/SurveyAccess/surveyChaining
