Question 1

What is answer recall or answer piping?

Accepted Answer

Answer recall (also called answer piping) is a feature that lets you insert previous answers into later parts of your form. When someone enters their name in question one, you can display that name in question five using a simple placeholder. This creates personalized, conversational form experiences that reference what users have already told you.

Question 2

How do I add answer recall to my forms?

Accepted Answer

Use the @ character to open the recall menu, from there you can select the referenced value and where you want the value to appear. For example, if you have a field called 'first_name', type @first_name in a later question to display what the user entered. The form editor shows available fields you can reference, making it easy to insert the correct placeholders.

Question 3

Where can I use answer piping?

Accepted Answer

Answer piping works in question titles, question descriptions and thank you page content. Essentially, anywhere you can enter text, you can insert answer references to personalize the content based on previous responses.

Question 4

Can I reference multiple answers in the same question?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can include as many answer references as you need. A question like 'Thanks {{name}}! You mentioned you work at {{company}} and are interested in {{product}}. How can we help you get started?' references three different previous answers in a single piece of text.

Question 5

Does answer recall work with conditional logic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, answer recall and conditional logic work independently but complement each other. Conditional logic determines which questions appear, while answer recall personalizes the content of those questions. You might show a question conditionally AND use piping to personalize its text.

Question 6

Can I pipe answers into calculation formulas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, numeric values from previous answers can be used in calculation fields. If someone enters a quantity, you can reference that value in formulas to compute totals, estimates, or scores. This combines personalization with dynamic calculations.

Question 7

Do piped values appear in form submissions and exports?

Accepted Answer

Form submissions and exports show the actual data entered, not the piped display text. When you view responses, you see 'John' in the name field, not the placeholder {{name}}. The piping is for display purposes during form completion and in notifications.
