Survey logic makes creating various paths for respondents easy by skipping specific questions based on previous responses. You can design the survey experience by adding a customized question flow and segmenting users based on their feedback.
In this article, you'll learn how to set up survey logic in Mobile and Intercom Messenger surveys.
If you'd like to see how survey logic can be implemented in Email or Shareable link and Website or in-product surveys, visit this section of our Help Center.
Step 1. Add your questions and arrange their order
Start with creating your survey. To properly set up the logic, you must add all questions you want to include in your survey before moving to the next steps.
Step 2. Set up the logic flow
Once you've added your questions, you can add Logic to each question which should direct respondents to different follow-up options.
The possibilities of the Logic feature described in this article are available in Mobile surveys if you're using any SDK version below 3.0.0 and in all Intercom Messenger surveys.

Troubleshooting
I can't see the Logic tab in my question

Best practices
Use the templates library to speed up the process of survey creation
You can check out our templates library and use one of the prepared surveys. It's possible to modify the design and delete/add questions.
Engage your respondents by redirecting them to external URLs or your Social Media pages
Add a CTA screen to increase engagement on your pages, or ask the Promoters to leave a review!
