Hi community members!

Thank you for excellent software!!!

Can you please tell me how I can do the following.

I have list of several respondents, that agreed to participate in my survey.
I have their e-mails and we agreed to contact via e-mail:

1. Alex ; alex [at] test.ru
2. Don ; don [at] test.ru
3. John ; john [at] test.ru
4. Madlen ; madlen [at] test.ru
5. Sara ; sara [at] test.ru

They are rather busy persons and they don't have much time to register properly - only a small questionnaire with just 3-5 answers.
I want to save their time and write their names (or at least e-mails) into DB automatically

1. I send invitation e-mail to respondent Alex with hyperlink, including in URL: either e-mail or name or list number - so that I can identify respondent, for instance resp=Alex:
somesurvey.com/index.php?sid=77157&newtest=Y&lang=en &resp=Alex

2. respondent reads e-mail and clicks that hyperlink

3. survey system opens survey #77157 and writes respondents name Alex to db directly

How can I do that, please?
Thanks in advance!!!

You can enter their details in the token table and invite them through the token table. They will then receive an email with a personal link to the survey. Would that help?

What you want to do is already done by default.

When you create a token you have to enter name and email. When user access the survey and enter responses, they are associated in DB with data of user.

...they are associated in DB with data of user.

Make sure that you do NOT set the survey to "Anonymized responses".

Thank you, sirs!

I'll try your advices!
