Pipe Logic
What is Pipe Logic?
Pipe Logic allows you to dynamically personalize your question text by inserting a participant’s earlier response into a later question. This makes the survey feel more relevant, conversational, and context-aware.
Purpose
- Create personalized follow-up questions
- Reuse participant input directly in the question copy
- Reinforce the participant’s previous choices or feedback
How It Works in Zykrr
Pipe Logic is applied directly from the question editing interface.
To use it:
- Click the pencil icon to edit the question where you want to add dynamic text
- Place your cursor where the piped response should appear
- Click the “PIPED TEXT” button
- A dropdown will appear with a list of all previously added questions
- Select the question you want to pull the response from
- Zykrr will automatically insert the proper reference and format in the background
✅ No manual syntax or ID entry needed — it’s fully UI-driven.
Example
Step 1: Product selection question
“Which product did you purchase?”
→ Answer: Lennox system
Step 2: Pipe Logic in next question
“How likely are you to recommend your Lennox system to a friend or colleague?”
Supported Sources
You can pipe responses from:
- Previous Multiple Choice, Dropdown, or Open-Ended questions
- Metadata fields such as
CustName,OrderID,City(if displayed) - System-defined inputs passed via integration or survey link
Best Practices
- Pipe only from required or always-answered questions
- Keep question language clear and fluid around the piped content
- Avoid inserting more than one piped field per line unless necessary
- Test in preview mode to confirm how it renders
Limitations
- Pipe logic applies to question text only, not to options
- Works only with questions positioned above in the flow
- Piping from optional or hidden questions may result in blank text if not handled carefully
