URL alias

[WEC]

Again, I am using checkbox 4.5.3.55, and I was wondering if when sending out invitations, if there was a way to alias the URL. So that instead of the email being sent out to everyone and directing them to something like:

https://surveys.corporate.com//Check...00f2390f304a0b

it would just say:

Electric Power Survey

but obviously still link to the https address.

I see that the email uses "@@SURVEY_URL_PLACEHOLDER__DO_NOT_ERASE" as the URL placeholder so I'm not sure if this is possible or not?

Thanks for the help!

It is not entirely clear what you are asking. Do you wish to change the url that respondents are sent to or do you want to set the text of the hyper link customers click on. If it is the later are you using HTML or text formatted invitations?

If you are using an HTML formatted invitation you will see a hyper link that reads "Click here". You should be able to highlight this text and change it to whatever you would like. If you select the <> icon you will see the underlying HTML that makes up the invitations body. In this case an anchor tag is used and you will see that the href points to @@SURVEY_URL_PLACEHOLDER__DO_NOT_ERASE.

In the case of a text formatted invitation an anchor tag is not used because it will not be rendered by respondent's email clients. In this case you just see @@SURVEY_URL_PLACEHOLDER__DO_NOT_ERASE. If you would like to send text formatted invitations you can alter the url be enabling custom survey urls. Please review the "Configuring Custom Survey URLs" section of the manual for instructions on how to use this feature.

Text that beings with @@ signifies that it is a pipe token which will be replaced with dynamic text. In this case your installations url concatenated with an invitation id, which is unique to each respondent. The invitation id serves several purposes. It is used to track invitation responses, identify a survey and authenticate respondents.

Thanks again!
I was using text formatted invitations, however switching to HTML invitations shouldn't be a problem so I will just go with that method instead of fiddling around the other way.
