When Form Answered

The When Form Answered action allows you to define module logic following the submission of a form by a user. This action is available only after a Form Filled trigger activates.

To add a When Form Answered action, select the plus icon, add_block.png, after a Form Filled trigger. A dropdown displays that provides two options: Form Answered and Add Logic. Select Form Answered. The When Form Answered action block is created.

Name the Action Block

Select the action title or the edit icon, blue_edit_pencil.png, and provide a descriptive title for the action.

Turn Action Block On or Off

By default, action blocks are enabled and turned on. Select the toggle in the top right of the action panel to disable or turn it off.

When building a module, remember you can toggle actions on and off rather than deleting them.

Action Type

Select the type of action the form submission prompts.

Your selection in the Action Type field determines the configuration of the rest of the When Form Answered action. The action panel responds to your selection and displays new fields corresponding to your selected action type.

Open form

Open a form for the user to complete, allowing the module to gather needed information from the user that will inform additional steps in the workflow. Select an existing form or create a new form for the user to complete.

The Open form Action Type offers some additional options for configuring the follow-up form:

Choose form

Choose the form to send as a follow-up when the user submits the form. Select the Select Form dropdown to choose an existing form or create a new form.

Next, select the Form Type:

  • Web Form - Send the follow-up form as a web form. If you select this option, you can choose to send the form immediately following the submission of the previous form, or when specified conditions are met.

    If you select When conditions match, a condition configuration section displays where you can define what conditions must be met to generate the follow-up form.

    Additionally, you can add a wait message that displays for users before the follow-up form is sent. Enter the message in the Wait message field or select the insert field button, insert_field.png, to choose from existing fields.

  • Slack Dialog - Send the follow-up form as a Slack message.

    If you select this option, ensure you complete the Slack response message field to configure this response.

  • Previous Platform - Send the follow-up form using the same method as the previous form. That is, if the previous form is a web form, the follow-up is sent as a web form; if the previous form is sent as a Slack message, the follow-up is sent as a Slack message.

Open interface

Open an item interface for the user to view or interact with.

Select an interface to open:
