Hello,

We have sent out unique links to survey participants. However, after doing so, we still need to re-send those links via SMS. (something like a reminder).

My question is: How do I upload all those unique links (tokens already generated) on to an SMS service and send out the links again? (SMS service provider is not a problem - can use something like msg91)

Thanks again!

This is not a Limesurvey issue. If you want to know how to create the token links, there is a description on how to create token links in a spreadsheet software in the workaround section. Or it was there (I know that, because I created it!). But I can't find it anymore. It must have been deleted when the manual was updated. What a pity, because as far as I know, you can export a token link list automatically in LS yet.

Short version: Go to the participant table, right click on the little cock wheel, copy the link you see there. It gives you the structure of your link. Once you understood how the links are built, it is easy to copy the part before the token and then join it via the concatenate function with the individual tokens. This way you can create your list with the token links.
