Use live data to populate dependent picklists

Easily connect your picklists to external data sources like Google Sheets, Salesforce, or custom APIs. This ensures your form options are always up-to-date, whether you’re managing product catalogs, client lists, or other critical data. Changes in your external sources are reflected in real-time in your forms, saving time and reducing the risk of outdated information.

Customize choice behavior

Dynamically loaded choices can be further customized for optimal user experience. Randomize the order of the choices to reduce order bias or pin specific options (e.g., “Other” or “None”) to fixed positions. Additionally, use conditional logic display or hide options based on the responder’s previous answers, creating a more personalized experience.

Improve accuracy and efficiency

By integrating external data sources into your picklists, you minimize manual errors and ensure responders always choose from the most accurate and relevant options. This boosts the quality of the data you collect while automating the process, saving your team valuable time and reducing the need for manual updates.

Personalized responder experience

Whether you’re pulling in a list of services, locations, or product options, you can create a personalized user journey with the latest information. Leverage calculated variables or external APIs to dynamically load choices based on responder inputs or external conditions, ensuring a more efficient and relevant interaction.
