## Adding Survey Workflow Questions

Survey questions are the core components of your workflow. hey determine what information you collect and how respondents interact with your survey. Each question type is designed for a specific kind of input, whether it's free text, a multiple-choice selection, or contact details. Before adding questions, it's helpful to understand the available formats and how their settings—like scoring, attributes, and response logic—affect both the user experience and the data you capture. This section explains how to select and configure the right questions for your goals.

1. In the **survey workflow builder**, click the **+** icon.
2. Select **Add Question** from the options. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-8Z4A8Y4N.png)
3. Choose a **Question Type**: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-V09MLNKE.png)
  - **Choice**: Allows for single or multiple selection answers.
  - **Input**: Free text response.
  - **Image Choice**: Allows respondents to choose from image-based answers.
  - **Contact Info**: A question type that allows you to collect contact details like name, email, and phone number in a single question.
  - **Email**: Collects the respondent’s email address.
  - **Phone Number**: Collects the respondent’s phone number.
4. Enter your **Question Headline** in the provided field.
5. Configure additional settings:
  - **Choice Questions**:![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image(541).png)
    - **Enable scoring**: Toggle this option to assign scores to answers.
    - **Allow Multiple Answers**: Enable this to allow respondents to select more than one answer.
    - **Enable ‘Other’ Choice**: Adds “Other” as the final option in the list of answers, allowing respondents to type a custom response directly in the survey.
    - **Dynamically Generate Options**: Automatically adds custom responses entered under “Other” to the list of answer options for future survey submissions. For example, if a respondent types in a unique response, it can become a selectable option for future respondents. Disable this if you do not want custom responses to appear as new answer options.
    - **Contact Attribute**: Optionally set this to save the response to a contact’s profile. You can access and add Contact Attributes from **Workspace Settings** > **Contact Attributes**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> When configuring **contact attributes** for Choice Questions, the available options depend on whether Allow Multiple Answers is toggled on:
> 
> - If **Allow Multiple Answers is off**, you can map to any contact attribute type.
> - For**Allow Multiple Answers is on**, only multi-select contact attributes will be shown in the dropdown. These attributes store multiple answers for a single question. If no multi-select contact attributes exist, the dropdown will be empty. To use one, create it in **Workspace Settings > Contact Attributes** with the **Select Field** type and **Allow Multiple** enabled. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the [How to Add and Manage Contact Attributes](/v1/docs/how-to-add-and-manage-contact-attributes) article. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-WDDEJ55I.png)

## Adding Branching Logic with Splits

Branching logic helps you create a more personalized experience by adjusting the path of your survey based on how someone responds. Instead of showing every question to every respondent, you can guide each person through only the questions that are relevant to them. This makes your surveys shorter, more engaging, and more effective.

In the survey builder, branching logic is applied using **splits**. A split is a point in the survey where the flow can change depending on a respondent’s answers, score, or profile details. You can use splits to skip questions, redirect to a different part of the survey, or even end the survey early.

This section explains how splits work and shows you how to use them to build flexible, responsive surveys.

### Creating a Split

1. Click the **+** sign where you want to add a split within your survey builder.
2. Choose **Add Split** from the options.
3. You’ll see a **yellow icon** at the end of the split branch. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-ZJSP0AEL.png)

### Setting Up Split Rules

Rules define the logic behind a split. Each rule tells the system when to apply a specific survey path, such as when a respondent selects a certain answer, reaches a score threshold, or matches contact criteria. You can combine multiple rules to build more advanced conditions.

1. Click on the yellow ⚠ icon to open the split options menu with the following options:
  - **Add Question**: Adds a new question to the split branch.
  - **Add Rules**: Allows you to set or modify the conditions for the split.
  - **Change Target**: Lets you specify where respondents should be directed if they meet the split conditions.
  - **Delete Split**: Removes the split from your survey workflow.
2. To set up the split logic, click **Add Rules**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-6H293SBX.png)
3. Click **Add Rule** to set conditions for the Split. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-A8NCUGKG.png)
4. From the **When** dropdown, you can now choose between two options: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-RW259K17.png)
  - **answer to**: This allows you to create rules based on specific answers to questions.
  - **score**: This new option lets you create rules based on the cumulative score of the survey up to this point.
  - **contact**: Use existing contact attributes to define survey paths based on prior interactions, such as tags or other profile data.
5. If you selected **answer to**:
  - Choose a specific **question** from the second dropdown.
  - Select a **Rule Type** (e.g., “is Equal to” or “does not equal”).
  - Choose the **answer** that triggers this Split target. ![answer to rule option](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/tmjcm4d7wjtllpce3zm5cotnteqgr_w7aw.png)
6. If you selected **score**:
  - Choose a **condition** (e.g., “is equal to”, “is greater than”, “is less than”).
  - Enter the score value in the **Expected Value** field. ![score rule option](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/mko9zzg-hwoons1tbtulbbia0kjsk_-waa.png)
7. If you selected **contact**:
  - Choose a **filter type** from the dropdown (e.g., Contact Tags, Email Address, First Name).
  - Select a **condition** (e.g., “is,” “contains,” “starts with”).
  - Enter or select the specific **value** for the contact attribute that will trigger this Split target.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/-TmOQ8lPDV1C0SFO7THZhiYL6Sie779JgQ.png)
8. Use **+ AND** or **+ OR** to combine multiple conditions as needed. This allows you to create complex conditions based on both answers and scores. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-D9G1UFOW.png)
9. Click **Save** to apply your rules.

The yellow icon will change to a branch icon after setting the rule. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-K993XNR7.png)

### Defining the Split Target

Once a rule is in place, the split needs a target. This is what the respondent will see or experience if the rule conditions are met. Targets can direct the respondent to another question, end the survey, or redirect them to a specific page or funnel.

1. Click the **branch** icon to open the menu.
2. Select **Change Target** from the options. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-PUN6MKB0.png)
3. In the **Edit Branch** window that appears, choose the appropriate **Target Type** from the following options:
  - **End Survey**: Finishes the survey at this point.
  - **Redirect**: Sends respondents to a different URL, page, or funnel.
  - **Go to Question**: Routes respondents to a specific question within the survey. ![Change target options](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/qt8cyymszm1yzihkgcrpwo0z4mxfirzypw.png)
4. Click **Submit** to confirm your selection, a new branch will appear in your survey workflow, displaying the selected option.

## Adding Survey Actions

Survey actions enable you to trigger specific workflow steps based on the answers respondents provide in your survey. For example, you can apply a tag when someone selects a specific option, send a follow-up email, or enroll them in a course. These actions help you engage with your audience in real-time and keep your workflows running smoothly. You can choose from various actions, including sending emails, applying tags, triggering workflows, and more, all directly from the Survey Workflow builder.

1. In the Survey Workflow builder, click the **+** icon next to a question to add an action.
2. From the dropdown, select **Add Action**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-K5GETMVL.png)
3. Configure the action details, then click **Create action**.
4. Set the **rules** for when the action should be triggered by clicking the **branch** icon and specifying the **conditions** (based on specific answers or scores).

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> If you want an action to apply to all survey respondents, you don't need to set a rule.
