Custom Survey123 URL with Field Maps Callback

[erica_poisson]

Hi - 

I am migrating some workflows from Collector to Field Maps and I am running into issues with my callback URL parameters.

The workflow:

1.  Click a polygon feature in Field Maps to view pop-up. Custom pop-up displays URL to launch Survey123 form and pass certain attributes to Survey123. 
2. Survey is completed by user. When user submits survey, Field Maps re-opens via callback to specified map. 

This worked very well with Collector and was simple to configure. With Field Maps, I am getting some weird errors, even though I am following the documentation on both Survey123 and Field Maps help pages. 

If I use a URL formatted like below, I get an error when attempting to open Survey123 from the URL. The error is in Survey123 and says "Error Unpacking":

 https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=10242016ba5b4ab3883bf40bb8ae76fb&field:Ag_Guid={GlobalID }&callback=https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app /?referenceContext=open&itemID=6b34dffb1c0b41b3907c61a97d0b1e4a

This same error occurs when I modified the URL to be something like this:

https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=10242016ba5b4ab3883bf40bb8ae76fb&field:Ag_Guid={GlobalID}&callback=https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app://?referenceContext=open&itemID=6b34dffb1c0b41b3907c61a97d0b1e4a  

https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=10242016ba5b4ab3883bf40bb8ae76fb&field:Ag_Guid={GlobalID}&callback=https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app//?referenceContext=open&itemID=6b34dffb1c0b41b3907c61a97d0b1e4a

If I use the callback URL without the referenceContext parameter included, the callback seems to work, but does display an on-screen error when returning to Field Maps; this happens with either of the formats below:

https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=10242016ba5b4ab3883bf40bb8ae76fb&field:Ag_Guid={GlobalID }&callback=https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app ://?itemID=6b34dffb1c0b41b3907c61a97d0b1e4a

https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=10242016ba5b4ab3883bf40bb8ae76fb&field:Ag_Guid={GlobalID }&callback=https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app /?itemID=6b34dffb1c0b41b3907c61a97d0b1e4a

Error:

I did check and the Survey123 data submits properly. I am returned to the proper map in Field Maps, but see this error each time. 

Does anyone have advice on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you,

My guess would be the URL encoding.  See here and it may help   https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/is-it-possible-to-send-data-back-from-surv...

You were correct - I had not realized this was required now with Field Maps, as it wasn't when I'd previously configured these types of URLs for Collector. 

I was able to get some help via the Field Maps Questions and you can see the answer here - https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/custom-survey123-url-with-field-maps-callb...
