certificate contingent on survey
Is is possible to make receiving a certificate for a completed course contingent on completing a survey that is linked to a contact form on the website or must I create a survey in 360? THANK YOU!

Thanks so much SamHill . These can be investigated and see if anything works :)!
Can you tell me please what the link is that you have included. At first glance it looks like a completely unrelated website?
The link included wasn't any particular link, but just to demonstrate adding a url parameter ?surveycomplete=true.
Hi SylviaWright the only thing you would be able to track with regards to an externally hosted survey, is selecting a link to access the survey, provided the link was within Storyline.
It would be possible to have an external survey communicate with your Storyline file, but it would not be possible without using a developer familiar with JavaScript. It may also depend on the survey service you are using and how your Storyline course is hosted.
One theoretical way that this could be communicated to a Storyline file, is on completion of the Survey, the user is returned to the storyline course, but a special URL parameter is appended to the link, for example surveycomplete=true. This URL parameter is then searched for, using JavaScript, in Storyline, and if the parameter is found, this could then be used to trigger a specific action in Storyline.
https://abc.org/story.html?surveycomplete=true;
This theoretical way would not work in every circumstance. It would depend on the survey allowing you to define a "redirect" when the survey is completed.
It may not be possible to deeplink to a Storyline course that is published on an LMS.
There will be other theoretical solutions such as providing the survey in an iframe, and the survey being able to communicate completion to the parent (Storyline file) frame.
They all depend on circumstance and the services you are using.
