Passing a Customer ID to the Survey Link

If you need to pass an identifier, such as an email address or a customer number, directly to the survey for tracking purposes, you can append it to the survey link. This allows you to easily match responses to specific users, whether you're sending personalized emails or attributing to logged-in users without needing SDK integration.

To include a unique customer ID, simply append the following parameter to the end of your survey URL:

https://app.polling.com/forms/432444-40ba-90e3-485a9df93db8/share?customer_id=1
https://app.polling.com/forms/432444-40ba-90e3-485a9df93db8/share?customer_id=some@email.com

This method is ideal when you want to associate survey responses with specific individuals, helping you track and analyze feedback more effectively.

When you append this ID it will show up on the individual survey respondent details. This value will automatically be passed into Webhooks and Zapier integrations.
