Passing unique participant ID
You may want your respondents to have their unique participant ID presented to them at the end of th survey. This could be useful to confirm they've taken the survey.
Simply add: {{id}} anywhere in your success message. When the participant finishes the survey, their unique ID will replace the {{id}} in the success message. Then, you can ask your participants to copy their ID and send it to you as a confirmation of completion. This way your user can stay anonymous and you can confirm that they have taken the survey.
