Inline Email
Inline emails work perfectly when you want to embed a question from your survey in an email. Select a question, and you can distribute the survey over email with the help of an HTML setup that works with any email marketing software. Selecting an answer from the email takes your respondent to the live form URL. You can also add custom variables within the HTML code to identify the respondents.
Read on:
To create an inline email:
- Open a survey you have created, then click the Launch tab.
- Click Inline Email on the left pane.
- Select a question from the Question dropdown list.
- Select a service to distribute your survey over email in the Email distribution service dropdown list.
- Add a parameter name in the Parameter name field. If you haven't created any custom variables yet, click Create Custom Variables to create one. The custom variables you create will get listed here. For example, if you'd like to send the updated records to a contact module, you need to create a custom variable "zs_contacts" and add direct value as ${Contacts.Contact Id}.
- Select a parameter value appropriate to the parameter name you selected. You can select Direct value and enter more merge tags as parameter values as well.
- Click + to add more parameters.
- Click X to delete a parameter.
- Click Generate HTML.
- Click Copy in the HTML embed section to copy the code generated.
