With the Form Rules, you can choose to trigger different actions upon form submission if the defined conditions are satisfied. You can automatically trigger emails, assign tasks, decide on the Thank You page to be displayed or redirect the respondents to another form or a website.
For example, if you want potential leads to ask questions regarding your product, you can use a Multi Line field to allow them to do so. Configure a Form Rule to send an email as well as assign task to the relevant person in your organization to respond to the enquiry.
If you want to send a copy of your product catalogue only to the interested customers, you can use a Radio field to know their response and configure a Form Rule to send the catalogue via email.
You can apply a form rule when:
- A new record is added to a form
- An existing record is updated in a form
