==================

I'd like to validate the submission of a survey only when the submitter opens the confirmation email.

And limit the submission to one per email confirmed.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks,

What do you understand by "validate the submission"?
You seem to have an open survey, where people enter their email-address during the survey.
After they hit the submit button, an email with an confirmation link should be sent to the email-address.
Via this confirmation link you want to ensure that the email-address entered is valid and the response set with that email-address is valid for your purpose.

The simplest approach without any third party software or modification would be to setup a second survey. That survey link is used as the confirmation link in the submission confirmation email.
You place SAVEID of the survey and other variables in confirmation link. You would then need to match data from the two surveys to get the valid ones.




 

Thank you.

Yes, you have understood my requirement.

I will investigate your proposed solution!

Of course, if there's a plugin that does the trick, I'd certainly consider it.

There are no way where you can validate a survey just reading an email.

You need an extra action here.
gitlab.com/SondagesPro/SurveyAccess/surveyChaining

Can really be used for this : create a token on a second survey and send an email to any address.

Yes, I meant opening and clicking a url from the confirmation email to validate the survey.

I will look at the solution you have provided.

Thank you.

We 've created a plugin which sends an email with a link like that:
index.php/plugins/direct/plugin/OptIn/function/confirm/key/{sid}-{rid}-{key}
onClick, the response will be marked as confirmed

I visit your page at:

survey-consulting.com/product-category/limesurvey-plugins/

But I don't see the plugin to purchase & download?

Which one is it?

Thank you.
