# Presenting a specific survey

For instances where you would like to bypass the targeting engine and control when a survey is displayed, such as when a user clicks a "give feedback" link, you can use the Present method.

## Three ways to use the present method

### By using a specific survey ID

```
pi('present', '1234'); // Where 1234 is the ID of the survey you'd like to present
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You can find the ID of a survey in Console. If you are a developer that doesn't have access to Console, you can ask your Client Success Manager to help you.
{% endhint %}

### By using a Present Alias

A Present Alias enables you to use a name instead of a Survey ID. This gives you the flexibility to change the survey that will trigger in Console, without having to update your code to swap the Survey ID. 

```javascript
pi('present', 'alias');
```

{% code title="For example" %}

```javascript
pi('present', 'feedback_form_us-en');
```

{% endcode %}

### By using a query string parameter in the URL

For cases, where you're linking to a page and want the page to trigger a specific survey on page load, you can append the following query string into the URL:

By Survey ID:

```javascript
https://url.com/?pi_present=1234 //where 1234 is the ID of the survey
```

By Present Alias:

```
https://url.com/?pi_present=feedback_form_us-en
```

## Common Use Cases For Using Present Method

| Case                                                                                          | Comment                                                                                         |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Feedback tabs or footer links                                                                 |                                                                                                 |
| Redirect links from email surveys that should display a Thank You message or follow-up survey | Use the query string parameter ?pi\_present for this use case                                   |
| Button clicks that should trigger a survey                                                    | You can also listen for button clicks without using the present method using Console targeting. |
| For events that are visible to the back-end but not to the client                             |                                                                                                 |
