Conditional logic
Conditional logic is a feature that allows you to create dynamic, personalized forms that respond to a visitor’s choices in real time. Instead of showing every question up front, you can reveal specific follow-up fields only when they’re relevant — making your form shorter, smarter, and easier to complete.
Think of conditional logic like a branching tree: Each answer a user selects sends them down a different “branch” of the form, unlocking new questions or hiding ones that don’t apply.
Currently, you can create conditional rules based on multiple-choice elements such as Dropdown, Multiple choices, Checkbox.
Common Questions:
- How do I set up conditional logic? - How can I control emails or redirects with conditional logic?
