How to Use Conditional Logic in Forms

Setting up conditional logic in Motion.io is quick and easy. Here’s how to do it:

1. Navigate to the Forms page from your account sidebar, and click on the form you want to modify.
2. Select the field you want to display conditionally and click the settings wheel icon.
3. In the settings panel, click Set conditions.
4. Enable conditions by toggling the switch, then set your specific rules. For example, you can base conditions on responses to multi-select questions—if a client selects a particular option, it can trigger other fields to appear.
5. Once your conditions are set, click Update to confirm your changes, and then click Save Form to ensure everything is applied.

With this setup, you can show only the most relevant questions to users, making your forms shorter and more engaging.

Below, you can see how clients experience the form when using conditional logic:

Before selecting an option: The additional field is hidden until the user selects "Yes" from the multi-select question.

After selecting "Yes": Once the user chooses "Yes," the new field appears instantly based on your set conditions.
