How to connect workflow based on the user's response

Question

Hi,

I am stuck with a key step of my workflow. I want to ask the user one question in the workflow and the response from user can lead to the different sub-flows. For example, in the photo below, I want to ask user “Do you want to use table B?". If user input "Y", the workflow will continue with situation 1, if use input "N", the workflow will continue with situation 2. I tried with many interface functions but no luck. Could you please help me with this problem ASAP. Thank you very much!

Hi @yueueueueuy

if your user response is only binary, you can use the CheckBox interface tool which basically allows user to select one of our of mutually exclusive choices.

each Checkbox is set to disable/enable different containers which contain the “mutually exclusive” workflows that you want under different scenario.

I recommend you check out the example of check box interface tool (click on the tool, then click on the Open Example that appears beneath)

Hi @yueueueueuy ,

What you are talking about here is called "Chained Apps".

If you wish to have the user presented with questions, which will then ask a follow up question or questions based on the answer to question one, then you need to chain these apps.

You can learn more about chained apps HERE.

I hope this helps,
