Conditional Logic v2 helps you create smarter, more dynamic forms and surveys. It lets you show or hide fields, redirect users, display messages, disqualify leads, or jump to different slides — all based on how someone answers.

This guide explains how to use Conditional Logic, what’s new in version 2, and which fields are supported.


What Is Conditional Logic

Conditional Logic automates actions inside a form or survey based on user input.
You can define conditions like:

  • If the answer is “No,” show a message.

  • If the score is below 5, disqualify the lead.

  • If the date is within a range, redirect to another page.

  • In surveys, jump to a specific slide instead of showing all questions.

This creates a more personal and efficient experience for respondents.

What’s New in v2

  • Simplified 3-Step Builder: Select Field → Select State → Provide Value

  • “Between” Operator: For numeric, date, score, and monetary fields

  • Survey Branching (Jump To): Create slide-to-slide jumps

  • Expanded Field Support: Checkboxes, multi-dropdowns, TnC1, TnC2, file uploads, and signatures

  • New Show/Hide Targets: Payment, text, HTML, image, and TnC elements

  • Rule List Filtering (Surveys): Filter rules by field or slide

  • Cycle Protection: Prevents loops (Slide A → Slide B → Slide A)

  • Localized & Accessible: Translated UI with keyboard navigation


Available Actions

When you open Conditional Logic, you’ll see four action types you can create:

ActionDescription
Redirect to URLSend users to a specific webpage after submission
Display Custom MessageShow a personalized message based on answers
Disqualify LeadAutomatically reject unqualified form submissions
Show/Hide FieldsDynamically control which fields appear or hide

All conditions are executed in top-down order.
Later matching rules override earlier ones when applicable.


Conditional Logic in Calendar Booking Forms

Conditional logic in forms also applies when a custom form is used inside a supported calendar booking flow. This gives you more control over qualification and the final confirmation experience.

In calendar bookings:

  • Show/Hide logic updates fields dynamically as the user answers questions
  • Disqualify lead logic is checked before the appointment is booked
  • If a lead is disqualified, the system does not create the appointment
  • If a lead is disqualified, the system does not collect payment
  • Redirects and custom messages can be used as part of the booking outcome

If the calendar confirmation page is set to Use custom form rules, the system shows the form’s redirect or custom message after submission. If the form does not include either one, the booking uses the default confirmation page instead.

Note: Calendar support described here applies to supported booking flows that use custom forms. Services (v2) and Rentals are not included in this article yet.

Survey-Specific Features

Jump To Logic

  • IF Basis: Field or Slide

  • THEN Action: Jump to a slide or question

  • Evaluation: Happens when the user clicks “Next”

  • Conflict Handling: If multiple Jump To rules match, the first one runs

  • Protection: Prevents self-loops and slide-to-slide cycles automatically

Rule Filtering

In surveys, you can filter rules by:

  • Field: Show all rules related to a field

  • Slide: Show all rules that affect or belong to that slide


Behavior & Evaluation

  • Rules execute top-down in order.

  • For Redirect, Message, Disqualify, only the first matching rule runs.

  • For Show/Hide, later matches override earlier ones.

  • For multi-selects, “is equal to {Option}” checks if the option is selected.

  • Text logic ignores case and extra spaces.

  • Dates use the account’s timezone.


Tips

  • Use Between for number or date ranges (inclusive).

  • Try date presets like Today or This Week.

  • The “Radio Other” option appears only if enabled for that field.

  • Always preview the form or survey to verify rule behavior.


FAQs

1. Can I mix AND and OR in the same rule?
No. Each rule must use one type of connector — either AND or OR.

2. Can I have multiple rules in the same form?
Yes. Each rule works independently.

3. What happens if more than one condition matches?
For submission actions, the first match wins. For Show/Hide, later rules override earlier ones.

4. Can I create loops in Jump To logic?
No. The builder prevents loops and shows an error message if detected.
