The API makes it sound like survey monkey is only good if I'm making an app.
My usecase is that I have a research project and I want to just shoot participants over to fill out a form, then use a webhook to know when they complete it. Like on my end I know my UserId, so I want to send user X to survey monkey to a SPECIFIC form, then when they complete it, I would like to know so I can log a complete entry in my DB.
Is this possible?
Yes, this is possible. Sounds like you want to create a private app (https://developer.surveymonkey.com/build-a-private-app/). In regards to the UserId tracking, use survey custom variables if you are using weblink collectors, or recipient custom fields if you are using email collectors.

I am currently making an app with Parse in which users can upload photos and other users can comment on the photos. I would like to set up a method by which a user can 'tag' another user in a comment, similar to facebook/instagram by typing #username.
I would like this to then send a notification to the mentioned user, but this can be done easily with Parse push notifications. How would i go about setting up the tag feature?
Create a cloud afterSave() function that scans the comment for a user tag (#username). If found, query for the user(s). If username(s) match existing user(s), trigger notification(s).
This involves quite a lot of things to develop if you don't already support notifications. But my outline is what you need to do. How is something you need to try for yourself and then ask specific questions here on SO if you have problems.

I have Users that can create DinnerEvent that contain Food. User specify preferred Food using a join table. Would like to create an internal message system that automatically sends out a notice to other Users who "prefer" the Food in the DinnerEvent that was created. Can anyone provide some guidance as to how I can go about approaching this or if there are any good reference resources out there (haven't had much luck searching)? Thought about ActiveMailer but decided I wouldn't want people to get spammed all the time in their email inbox. Would prefer to only use Rails to achieve this.
There's a lot of options here and many use cases to think through. Maybe you can start with something very simple that:
Tracks the last date/time of login for each user
On some page (specific to the logged in user), display all DinnerEvents created since last login that match their Food preferences. Should be simple Active Record to pull this.
Continue to show this list until they dismiss it (record this date/time) or login again
A full blown messaging system will probably require more complex stuff like queues for each user that are subscribed to a master queue. And, possibly an additional backend data store like Redis. I'm purposefully leaving out the details of something like this for now; it's a much bigger topic.
I am working w/ the Event Brite API and I have a need that I am trying to figure out the best approach for. Right now, I have an event that people will be registering for. At the final step of the registration process, I need to ask them some questions that are specific to my event. Sadly, these questions are data-driven from my website, so I am unable to use the packaged surveys w/ Event Bright.
In a perfect world, I would use the basic flow detailed in the Website Workflow of the EB documentation, ending upon the "3rd Party Next Steps" step (redirect method).
http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/workflows/
Upon landing on that page, I would like to be able to access the order data that we just created in order to update my database and to send emails to each person who purchased a seat. This email would contain the information needed to kick off the survey portion of my registration process.
Is this possible in the current API? Does the redirect post any data back to the 3rd party site? I saw a few SO posts that gave a few keywords that could be included in the redirect URL (is there a comprehensive list?). If so, is there a way to use that data to look up order information for that order only?
Right now, my only other alternative is to set up a polling service that would pull EB API data, check for new values, and then kick off the process on intervals. This would be pretty noisy for all parties involved, create delay for my attendees, and I would like to avoid it if possible. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Here are the full set of parameters which we support after an attendee places an order:
http://yoursite.com/?eid=$event_id&attid=$attendee_id&oid=$order_id
It's possible that order_id and attendee_id would not be a numeric value, in which case it would return a value of "unknown." You'll always have the event_id though.
If you want to get order-specific data after redirecting an attendee to your site, you can using the event_list_attendees method, along with the modified_after parameter. You'll still have to look through the result set for the new order_id, but the result set will be much smaller and easier to navigate. You can get more information here: http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/event_list_attendees/
You can pass the order_id in your redirect URL in order to solve this.
When you define a redirect URL, Evenbrite will automatically swap in the order_id value in place of the string "$order_id".
http://your3rdpartywebsite.com/welcome_back/?order_id=$order_id
or:
http://your3rdpartywebsite.com/welcome_back/$order_id/
When the user completes their transaction, they will be redirected to your external site, as shown here: /http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/workflows/
When your post-transaction landing page is loaded, grab the order_id from the request URL, and call the event_list_attendees API method to find the order information in the response.
Is it possible to use event_list_attendees to get the list of attendees and their specific information for the event in order to place it onto my own custom designed ticket graphic/PDF?
For instance, I want to create my own stand alone website that links to my event, have users register/purchase tickets, then from my website via the API, I would send the user a custom email as well as a custom designed ticket specific to my event. On the ticket itself I would want to pull the attendee name and number of tickets ordered, as well as the barcode and the event information.
Yes, that is totally possible. See the page on the Eventbrite API - event_list_attendees
It should give you all the information you need.
Good luck!

You can use the service customize the confirmation email and pdf ticket using any variable from Eventbrite : given name, surname, ticket class, barcode, or even the user-defined checkout fields.
I'm not really sure where to start with this one, but here is what I'm looking to do.
Lets say you've registered at a website (yourwebsite.com). Your username/email is joe#shmoe.com.
If you email newrecord#yourwebsite.com, I'd like a new record created by your user (meaning you have to email it from a registered user's email - such as joe#shmoe.com).
I'd also like to add some variables in the email body, that can be set to their respective fields in the new record.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
sure is possible - have a look at http://cloudmailin.com/ too - they do all the receiving side of things for you and then just 'post' the email into your application.
It's definitely possible - that functionality is available in basecamp.
I've never done it myself, but looks like this article describes how to process incoming emails in rails. Good luck!
