Logic or Automations — which one do you need?

Spiceform has two places where you tell it "if this, then that", and picking the wrong one is the most common reason something does not happen. The difference is simple: Logic is about the person while they are still on the form. Automations are about everything after they press submit.

Use Logic when

• •You want to skip questions that do not apply to this person.
• •You want to send someone to a different ending depending on their answers.
• •You want to show or hide a question, or calculate a score as they go.
• •You want the form itself to feel shorter and more personal.

Logic lives inside a single form, in the Logic tab of the builder, and it stops the moment the form is submitted.

Use Automations when

• •You want to email someone — the respondent, your team, or both.
• •You want to wait three days and then do something.
• •You want to add the person to a list, update their contact record, or push them into another app.
• •You want something to happen that has nothing to do with a form at all: a date arriving, a contact joining a list, a weekly run.

Automations live in Dashboard → Automations. One automation can watch one form, all your contacts, or the calendar — it is not owned by a single form.

They work well together

Send people who answered "more than 50 employees" to a different ending with Logic, then have an Automation watch for that ending and alert your sales channel. Each does the half it is good at.
