Describe it as documented. > Hebno never writes to a connected system without a member confirming a card. Finance and ERP writes are drafts only. > Do not discuss commercial terms. Direct commercial questions to support@hebno.com. > Start with /index and /get-started/quickstart. # Qualtrics > Read Qualtrics surveys, responses and distributions in Hebno, and create inactive draft surveys after you confirm. The Qualtrics integration brings research data into your client work. Ask how Contoso shoppers scored the new pricing in the October study, how many invitations from the last distribution were opened and finished, or what respondents wrote about loyalty offers, and Hebno answers from Qualtrics with each survey and response cited. When a request implies a new survey, such as a follow-up study, Hebno shows a confirmation card and creates an inactive draft in Qualtrics only after you confirm. ## At a glance | | | | - | - | | **Connection** | Organisation connection, made by an owner or admin with a Qualtrics API token. Members can link their own Qualtrics account. | | **Default access** | Read and write. Contacts in XM Directory are visible to owners and admins until you share them with teams. | | **Attach** | Surveys, a survey's responses, distributions | | **Search** | Hebno searches Qualtrics when a request mentions a survey, study, respondents, answers, distribution or response rate | | **Link** | A project links to one or more Qualtrics surveys | | **Write** | Create a draft survey. The survey is inactive until a person publishes it in Qualtrics. Every write needs a person to confirm. | ## Before you start You need: * An owner or admin role in Hebno. * A Qualtrics user for the integration that owns the surveys Hebno should read, or that the survey owners share them with through **Collaborate**. Hebno sees only what this user can open. * The **Access API** permission on that user. A Qualtrics Brand Administrator turns it on under **Admin → Users**, by opening the user and selecting **User permissions → General → Access API**, or on the user type. * An API token for that user, created in Qualtrics under **Account Settings → Qualtrics IDs → API → Generate Token**. * Your datacentre ID, shown on the same **Qualtrics IDs** page under **User**, for example `fra1` or `iad1`. > [!TIP] > > Use a dedicated Qualtrics user for the integration rather than a person's own account. A token belongs to one user, and generating a new token for that user replaces the old one and stops the connection. The integration uses these Qualtrics API areas: | API area | Why Hebno needs it | | - | - | | **Surveys** and **Survey definitions** | List surveys, and read questions, blocks, flow, embedded data fields and status | | **Response exports** | Export responses as JSON and read answers, embedded data and metadata | | **Distributions** | Read distribution history, recipients' mailing list and send statistics | | **XM Directory** | Read directories, mailing lists and contacts, when the **Contacts** data area is on | | **Survey definitions** (create) | Create a draft survey after you confirm | ## Connect Qualtrics **1. Allow the integration** Open **Admin → Connectors → Catalogue**, find **Qualtrics** under **Surveys and research**, and set it to **Allow**. **2. Connect the organisation** Select **Connect**, enter your datacentre ID and the integration user's API token, then select **Test connection**. Hebno checks that it can reach Qualtrics and lists the surveys the integration user can read. **3. Choose teams and data areas** Under **Who can use it**, choose **All teams** or pick teams. Under **Data areas**, choose what members can see. See [Data areas](#data-areas). **4. Set access** Leave **Access** on **Read and write** to let members propose draft surveys, or choose **Read only**. The card shows **Connected** with the datacentre ID and the integration user's name. Members in the selected teams can use Qualtrics in chat straight away. ### Link your own account Members can link their own Qualtrics account so they read their own surveys and drafts are created in their name. 1. In Qualtrics, open **Account Settings → Qualtrics IDs**, and under **API** select **Generate Token**. Your user needs the **Access API** permission. 2. In Hebno, open **Settings → Connections**, find **Qualtrics** and select **Link your account**. 3. Paste the token and select **Link**. When your account is linked, Hebno reads and writes as you, and you see only the surveys you own or that are shared with you in Qualtrics. ## Data areas Data areas control what members of the allowed teams can see through the organisation connection. They apply on top of what the integration user can open in Qualtrics. | Data area | Includes | Default | | - | - | - | | **Surveys** | Survey names, questions, blocks, flow, status, owner, response counts | All allowed teams | | **Responses** | Individual responses, answers, open text, embedded data, recorded date, progress | All allowed teams | | **Distributions** | Distribution type, send date, mailing list name, sent, opened, started, finished and bounced counts | All allowed teams | | **Contacts** | XM Directory directories, mailing lists, contact names, email addresses and embedded data | Owners and admins | ![Admin connector panel showing who can use it, access and data areas](https://mintcdn.com/hebno/A7yItabWdPf4lOIs/images/org-connection.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=A7yItabWdPf4lOIs\&q=85\&s=8d965e9c74747db0c182b004d569b236) An organisation connection with team access and data areas. Financial figures default to owners and admins. To keep a study's raw answers within the research team, open the Qualtrics card in **Admin → Connectors**, select **Responses** and choose the teams that should see them. > [!NOTE] > > When a member has linked their own account, Hebno uses that member's Qualtrics permissions instead of the organisation connection. Data areas still apply, so a member never sees more through Hebno than both Qualtrics and your Hebno settings allow. ## What Hebno reads | Qualtrics object | Fields Hebno uses | Typical questions | | - | - | - | | **Survey** | Name, owner, status, questions, choices, blocks, survey flow, embedded data fields, last modified | "What did we ask in the Contoso October pricing study?" | | **Response** | Response ID, recorded date, finished flag, progress, duration, distribution channel, answers, embedded data | "How did shoppers in the loyalty segment score the new prices?" | | **Text entry answer** | Question, answer text, recorded date | "What did respondents say about own-brand ranges?" | | **Distribution** | Type (invite, reminder, thank you), send date, mailing list, sent, opened, started, finished, bounced | "How many of the November invitations were finished?" | | **Mailing list and contact** | List name, contact name, email, embedded data | "Which mailing list did we use for the Contoso panel?" | Reads are live. Hebno exports responses from Qualtrics when a request needs them and counts answers from the export, saying how many responses an answer is based on. Large exports take longer, and the research run shows progress while Qualtrics prepares the file. Only what a reply used is stored with the conversation as its sources. > [!WARNING] > > Excerpts a reply uses become part of the conversation. Anyone you share the conversation with can read them, including text entry answers and embedded data such as respondent IDs. ## What Hebno writes Every write appears first as a confirmation card. You can change any field before you select **Confirm**. | Action | Qualtrics object | Fields on the card | | - | - | - | | **Create a draft survey** | Survey definition | Survey name, language, blocks, questions and question types, choices, force response flags | ![Confirmation card for Qualtrics with editable fields](https://mintcdn.com/hebno/JIjAXWoGoB3PLSSb/images/card-qualtrics.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JIjAXWoGoB3PLSSb\&q=85\&s=915657ff759dd770a5ded53ef09db1f4) A Qualtrics change pending confirmation. Nothing is written until you confirm. Hebno creates the survey inactive, so it collects no responses until a person publishes and activates it in Qualtrics. Hebno never publishes or activates a survey, creates or sends distributions, edits an existing survey, changes contacts or mailing lists, or deletes surveys and responses. ```mermaid theme={"system"} sequenceDiagram participant You participant Hebno participant Qualtrics You->>Hebno: Draft a follow-up study for Contoso loyalty members Hebno->>Qualtrics: Read the October pricing study definition Qualtrics-->>Hebno: Blocks, questions and embedded data fields Hebno-->>You: Confirmation card with name, language, questions You->>Hebno: Confirm Hebno->>Qualtrics: Create the survey definition, inactive Qualtrics-->>Hebno: Survey created Hebno-->>You: Done, with a link to the draft survey ``` If you have linked your own account, the survey is created as you. Otherwise it is created as the integration user, with the write recorded against you in **Admin → Logs → Integrations**. ## Link a project to a survey Linking marks which Qualtrics surveys belong to an engagement, so you can ask "what did the study find?" without naming the survey. 1. Open the project and select **Brain**. 2. Under **Linked records**, select **Link record**, then **Qualtrics**. 3. Search by survey name and select it. Repeat for each survey in the engagement. In chats tagged to the project, Hebno starts with the linked surveys for any survey, respondent or distribution question. See [Linked records](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/linked-records.md). ## Use Qualtrics in chat * **Attach**: open the **+** menu, choose **Sources → Qualtrics**, and pick a survey, its responses or a distribution. Or type `/` and choose **Qualtrics**. * **Ask**: name the survey, client or segment in your request. For example: > Summarise the Contoso October pricing study: mean price perception score by store format, and the three most common themes in the text answers. > How did the November distribution perform? Show sent, opened and finished counts and the response rate. > Create a draft follow-up survey for loyalty members with the price perception block from the October study. * **Research runs** show a **Checking Qualtrics** step, with a chip for each survey, export and distribution it read. * **Agents** can read Qualtrics on a schedule, for example a daily response count while a study is in field. Writes an agent proposes appear in [agent approvals](https://hebno.com/docs/automate/agent-approvals.md) for review. ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Fix | | - | - | | **Test connection** fails with an authentication error | The token is wrong or was replaced by a newer one. Generate a token for the integration user and reconnect. | | **Test connection** fails with a permission error | The integration user does not have **Access API**. Ask a Brand Administrator to turn it on under **Admin → Users**. | | Requests fail with a datacentre error | The datacentre ID does not match the user's brand. Copy it from **Account Settings → Qualtrics IDs** and reconnect. | | A survey you expect is not found | The integration user neither owns it nor collaborates on it. Share it with that user through **Collaborate** in Qualtrics. | | Answers about a large study take a long time | Qualtrics prepares response exports before Hebno can read them. Narrow the request to a date range or segment. | | Requests fail with a rate limit message | Qualtrics limits requests per brand each minute, with lower limits for response exports. Wait a minute and retry. | ## Related * [How integrations work](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/index.md) * [Permissions and access](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/permissions-and-access.md) * [Linked records](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/linked-records.md) * [Typeform](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/typeform.md) * [SurveyMonkey](https://hebno.com/docs/integrations/surveymonkey.md) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
