Testing Guest Links
Search the Help Center
If your guest link isn't behaving as expected while you're setting up or testing, try these steps in order:
- Confirm the link hasn't expired or been deactivated. Links may expire or be disabled from the Customer Platform at the conclusion of a project.
- Confirm you're using a supported browser
- Use a separate private/incognito window per link you test. This is the single biggest fix when testing studies with multiple guest links — your browser can hold onto an old session and keep showing you the same survey no matter which link you click next. Instructions for your browser:
- Know what to expect from studies with multiple guest links: by default, a single guest link may randomly serve one of several survey variants — it is not currently possible to guarantee which variant a given guest link shows without a custom setup. If your test plan requires guaranteed per-variant links (e.g., you need controlled completes per variant), contact support to have them manually configured for your study.
- Still stuck? Contact support with the study link, the guest link URL(s) you're testing, and whether private browsing is an option on your network.
