Add logic
Send people to different screens by their answers, and compute values such as a score.
Two tools make a Journey respond to its answers. Routing rules choose the next screen. Calculated values turn answers into new numbers and words.
Send people to different screens
By default a screen leads to the next one in order. A rule changes that.
- Select the screen that asks the question.
- In the Inspector, open Navigation and find Next screen.
- Press Add rule.
- Fill in the rule: If the answer to which question, the Condition, the Value, and the screen to Go to.
- Set Otherwise go to for everyone no rule matches. It starts as Next in order.
A rule reads like this: if team_size is solo, go to the solo plan
screen.
Conditions
| Condition | True when |
|---|---|
| Is | The answer equals the value |
| Is not | The answer is anything else |
| Includes | A multi-select answer contains the value |
| Has an answer | The person answered |
| Has no answer | The person skipped it |
Several rules
The first rule that is true decides the next screen. Drag the rules to set their order, and put the most specific one first.
A rule can use any earlier answer, not only the one on its own screen.
See every path
Switch the preview to Flow canvas. It draws each screen and the paths between them. Click a path to see the rule behind it.
Show a block only for some people
A block on an info page has the same conditions. Open the block, find Show when, and choose On a condition. Use this to show one result to one group and another to the rest.
Compute a value
A calculated value is a formula over the answers: a score, a price, a recommendation.
- Open the Variables tab.
- Press Add calculated value.
- Give it a Name, such as
score. - Write the Formula. The names you can use are listed below the box.
A formula is a JavaScript expression:
(daily_users > 100 ? 2 : 1) + (has_team === "yes" ? 1 : 0)Result now shows what the formula gives for the answers in the preview. A formula can use answers and the calculated values above it.
Use a calculated value like an answer: in a rule, in a Show when
condition, or in text as ${score}.
Verify
Answer the questions in the preview in different ways. Check that each set of answers reaches the right screen, and that Result now changes as you expect.
