MailChimp Dynamic Redirects After Submission - html

Is it possible to use dynamic "thank you" pages upon submission of a mailchimp opt-in form? I'm currently using the API and have single opt-in enabled.
Here's my situation.
I provide web design tutorials to my viewers, at the bottom of the tutorial I have an opt-in form that says "learn how to code this design in html". When a visitor subscribes I need to redirect them to the HTML tutorial.
It seems that the redirect code below doesn't work and MailChimp only let's you set a single thank you page per list on their website.
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.somesite.com/somefile">
Is there anyway around this? My plan was to use custom fields in wordpress and manually enter the redirect url for each post but have found that this won't work.
Thanks for taking the time to help!

Is it possible to have a form/questionnaire inside a marketing html email?

I am wondering how I can place a small form/questionnaire inside a marketing email that I am sending out? With no php or javascript available I am wondering if there are ways this can be done.
Having tried this myself, allow me to share my experience.
There is nothing stopping you from actually making an HTML Form inside an e-mail, but there are many e-mail clients out there. Some of them block "interactive" HTML, in particular, buttons. And you need a submit button to send your data.
In my job, we have implemented a new feature that allowed users to sign confidential documents by clicking a button on their e-mail. The email had a simple HTML form with a few elements which identified the document to be signed. By pressing a submit button, the form did a POST submit to the server, opened the user's browser and directed him to the web site to sign. This worked for a while, until we had a customer using it via Outlook Web Mail. They claimed the system generated e-mails did not have a button they could push. After investigating, we discovered what I mentioned above. We ended up changing the button for a hyperlink. The information identifying the document now is attached to that link, and the link has been styled to look like a button. Links play well inside e-mails. Buttons don't. Hope this helps.

Redirect after submit

Can someone explain me how to make a simple redirect with the scripts used in google forms? The documentation seems very weird to me with the most things not working. I know how to set the event for when the submit is happening but how can i extend it with a redirect to a self-made "Thank you!" page?

Display custom message after submitting a Google Form

I have a Google Form that allows user to enter their information. After they submit the form, the data is inserted to a Google spreadsheet as a new row.
However I want to show a dynamic message right after the form is submitted, overriding the original "thank you" message. The new message would display the information they just filled in, with an number assigned to him.
For example, Mary filled in her data and submit the form. Since Mary is the 5th person to submit this form, the message shows her number as 5.
Is there any way to achieve this? I have been studying Google App Script and HTML service but I am not sure if this is the correct way.
Please note that we have already using email to send out this message for several years however user strongly suggest that showing their ID right after form submission would make lots of things much easier.
Thank you very much!
Update
I have been working on it and now I am able to make a web page that inserts a new row to a spreadsheet. But another question: How to publish the web page? When I open the "/dev" link it works fine; However when I open the "/exec" link it says cannot find "Index.html" and I am sure there is a file called Index.html.
There is no way to add a custom confirmation message for the current user of the currently open Form. You can run code to change the confirmation message when the Form is submitted, but changing the confirmation message when the Form is submitted won't take affect until the NEXT Form is opened, and that's too late. So the next person to open the Form would get the confirmation message of the previous user.
You would need to convert everything to a stand alone HTML App for something like that.
Google just released a new version of Google Forms. In the settings you can change the confirmation page message for respondents. You can save a link to a web page in the custom message. So if you can create a web page with the data you want displayed, you should be able to save the link in the custom message.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned goal, you need to get the Google form on your web page. No, I am not talking about embedding the form to your web page but to create a stand alone HTML page. The reason behind doing so is since Google is a third party website, editing any code in Google forms is not possible and there is no other way (at least I could not figure out Yet) to place custom thank you page URL for the Google Form. You can even remove certain codes in your HTML page to make sure it doesn't look like or says Google form. Basically, to have custom URL you need to replace

Embed HTML form in email

Can I send an email that contains an HTML form with one combobox, that upon changing the value a reply would be send back?
From the research I've made it seems that it is not possible...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_e-mail
Is that true?
Thanks,
Eden
Yes it is possible.
But there are restrictions.Different mail clients and web mails behave in different manners.
For example, Yahoo web mail, upon submitting form brings up a dialog box which warns about sending some info outside Yahoo. You have to disable Javascript if you want your submission work properly, otherwise it doesn't send submit buttons by REQUEST (POST or GET).
In outlook express I checked and it works without any problem.
Because of this problem, I think it isn't recommendable to do form embedding inside email. I suggest to make a web form and send a link to it via email. Although by this approach you may lose some lazier users, but it seems that lose will be lesser than lose arising from problems of email embedded form submission.
Yes that is true. It is not possible. What you can do is provide a link to a webpage and do the combobox action on that website.
You can create a form in google docs and share it via 'email', I have tested it and it shown inline at-least in gmail.
