🌍 Overview
This functionality is a great way to improve your customer booking journey by tailoring your content to be more relevant to your customers. Conditional booking questions allows you to control which booking questions show depending on the answer selected for a previous question.
To set up conditional questions, you'll need to set an initial trigger question. Then, once your conditional questions are set, they will appear in the booking questions part of the booking flow below the trigger question.
You can set up unlimited conditional questions, one level deep, meaning that one answer can trigger multiple questions. But, conditional questions cannot trigger further conditional questions.
The trigger booking question is limited to checkbox and dropdown types of questions, but you can choose any type of question for the conditional question. This is because there needs to be a specific set response to trigger the conditional follow up questions.
👀 How do customers see conditional questions
When you have conditional questions set up on your account, they will pull through to your booking flow when the end-user is making a booking.
As soon as a trigger question is answered with your chosen condition (answer), they will be prompted to answer the conditional questions, too.
Once the questions are answered and the customer confirms the booking, you can then view them from within your Appointedd account.
🛠️ How to set it up?
