Google Surveys -- a way to pass URL parameters into survey?

Question

I have created a Google Survey and I want to be able to pass URL parameters into the survey so that I can track where responses are coming from. Ideally these URL parameters will be populated into the spreadsheet.

I have tried something like this:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/HASH/viewform?src=MY_SOURCE&ref=MY_REF

However, this doesn't seem to be working.

Any help or comments appreciated!

Answer 1

There is no way to pass hidden information, but you can pre-fill form fields using URL parameters:

1. Open a form in Google Forms
2. In the top right, click More [...]
3. Choose Get pre-filled link
4. Fill in any answer fields you want to pre-populate
5. Click Submit
6. To send the pre-populated form to respondents, copy and send the link at the top
