Step Conditional Logic
Step Conditional Logic shows or skips entire steps of a multi-step form based on the visitor's answers — so each person follows the path that fits them.
What this does
On multi‑step forms, you can make whole steps appear or be skipped depending on earlier answers. A visitor who selects “Personal” skips the “Company details” step; a “Business” visitor sees it.
Why it exists: it creates smart, branching forms without building separate forms for each path.
Typical use cases
- Skip billing steps for free options.
- Branch a survey based on the audience.
- Show a specialized step only to certain respondents.
How to use it
- Enable Step Conditional Logic on FormFlow → Features (Conditional Logics group).
- Build a multi‑step form (see Multi‑Step Overview).
- On a step, add a condition: watch a field, choose an operator and value, and set the step to show or skip.
- Choose whether all or any rules must match.
- Preview and walk through both paths.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Map the paths first. Sketch which answers lead to which steps before building.
-
Test every branch. Walk through each answer path in preview to confirm the right steps show.
-
Keep branches shallow. A few well‑chosen branches are easier to maintain than deep trees.
-
Combine with a review step (Data Summary) so users confirm the path they took.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is step conditional logic free?
No — it’s a Pro feature.
Does it require a multi‑step form?
Yes — it controls which steps show, so you need more than one step.
Can a step be skipped entirely?
Yes — set the step to skip when the condition matches.
Do skipped steps’ fields still submit?
Skipped steps aren’t shown; their fields aren’t part of the completed path.
How is this different from field logic?
Field logic shows/hides individual fields; step logic shows/skips whole steps.
Can I branch on multiple answers?
Yes — add multiple rules and choose all/any matching.
