For Agents
Programmatically create contact in mailing list, generate distribution links. Covers 8 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to contact in mailing list, I want to generate distribution links, Search for distributions for survey, Find all distribution links
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for education only.
Work with Qualtrics surveys, distributions and response events. The API exposes 8 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Qualtrics API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Qualtrics API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Qualtrics API.
Create contact in mailing list
Generate distribution links
Get distributions for survey
Retrieve distribution links
Triggers when a response is submitted to a qualtrics survey
Remove subscription to response event
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Qualtrics API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Education Operations
Use the Qualtrics API to perform education operations programmatically. The API provides 8 endpoints covering core functionality including create contact in mailing list, generate distribution links, get distributions for survey.
Call POST /directories/{DirectoryId}/mailinglists/{MailingListId}/contacts to create contact in mailing list
Automated Directories Management
Automate directories operations by combining multiple Qualtrics API endpoints. Agents can generate distribution links and then get distributions for survey in a single workflow.
Call POST /distributions to generate distribution links, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Qualtrics API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create contact in mailing list', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Qualtrics API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create contact in mailing list') and Jentic returns the matching Qualtrics API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Qualtrics API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs
Specific to using Qualtrics API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Qualtrics API use?
The Qualtrics API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-TOKEN` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I create contact in mailing list with the Qualtrics API?
Yes. Use the POST /directories/{DirectoryId}/mailinglists/{MailingListId}/contacts endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Qualtrics API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I create contact in mailing list through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'create contact in mailing list'. Jentic returns the matching Qualtrics API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Qualtrics API have?
The Qualtrics API exposes 8 endpoints covering directories, distributions, eventsubscriptions operations.
