I'm fairly new to Zapier, and I'm trying to use Zapier to filter answers in a form on a website so that I can send emails to people who have selected the right answers. I'm stuck on the "if continue" action. I have tried many ways to fix this, but I can't figure out how to extract the user's response from a radio button or checkbox. I have created three different forms with different types of responses (radio button or checkbox) and none of them seem to work.

Hi @NicolaJordan 

Good question.

Which Form app are you using?

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured in order to have true context.

 

I tried creating a form within the Wix website builder and in the Tally.

Briefly explaining my Zap: When any user fills out the form, their contact details transfer to Zoho CRM. And all users receive a PDF file via email containing the training plan.

 

One of the questions in the form is:

What is your primary goal for seeking fitness coaching?

Under $50 per month

$50-$100 per month

$100-$200 per month

Over $200 per month

And only to users who selected the third or fourth answer, an email is sent with a link to register for sessions

Can you post screenshots with how your Zap FILTER steps are configured?

 

This is for multiple choice selections

Can you show a screenshot of the DATA OUT from the Zap trigger step for the field shown in the Filter?

 

You can add multiple Filter conditions using the AND/OR button. (You’ll want to use the OR.)

 

This data I can extract with checkbox

As an example, in the filter for the top/left option you would want to select this variable from Step 1 and set teh bottom/right parameter to be: true

 

 

Sorry, I'm still a beginner. I don't quite understand what you mean. I don't understand where to set the bottom/right parameter to be: true. In contiue if, there is no opption to set parameter true.

Change the bottom input field to: true

 

The value of the checkboxes will be either:

  • false
  • true

The warning indicates the example record you are testing with from Step 1 would not have passed the Filter step conditions.
