Using CiviCRM to send mailouts with unique IDs
November 19, 2009, 07:11:02 pm
Hey all,

I've been using CiviCRM for a while now, fairly well-versed in it, but I haven't actually done any development for it before.

What I'm thinking about using it for is sending out unique links to each of my users to complete surveys (I have a spreadsheet full of unique links).  Now, I know each Civi contact has a history of activities, like emails sent, notes, events attended, etc.

What I'm wondering is whether there's a way for Civi to store a history of each unique link I send to my respondents (as a separate object, not embedded in the whole activity of an "email sent").  Is there a way to define a new type like that from the interface, or will I have to do so programatically? 

Ideally what I'd like to have is the ability for each user who logs in to Drupal to see all the survey links he has been sent, and re-take the survey if he wishes. 

Any input on the best way to accomplish this is much appreciated!

thanks,

Mark

Donald Lobo

you can potentially store the unique links in a custom group table with the multiple records feature. You will have to write custom code to write to that table
