Does anyone know how I change the ID parameter on an invitation link? Every time I go to change it, it just adds the new parameter on to the old parameter at the end of the link. ---

So the link it gives you contains an example id using the default id parameter (extid) e.g. [https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?extid=example\_id](https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?extid=example_id) Just change the id parameter to what you want e.g. pid and press save. now the example link is [https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?pid=example\_id](https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?pid=example_id) But note - this is just an example - when you give this to your panel provider (or use some sort of email merge) you should replace example\_id with the tracking id (or email) for each outbound link. so it becomes [https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?pid=fred](https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?pid=fred) [https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?pid=jimbob](https://v4-4-3.saas-us1.surveyengine.com/123456?pid=jimbob) etc, Then you will be able to track each outbound email with survey completion/abandonment/non start etc.
