Buttons can be used to submit the form or to redirect people to another page or website. If you want to collect the user information (like leads, or the data they enter in the calculator) you will need to add a button (usually at the end of the calculator)
You can also have multiple buttons in the same calculator each with it's separate settings and conditional visibility.
The text on the button. You can show the value of other questions by writing {{QA}}, {{QB}}, etc
A description text that goes after the question.
After the user clicks the button they will be redirected to the URL address you type in (leave empty to not redirect)
You can use the value of questions in the URL, for example:
https://google.com/?QA={{QA}}
will go to https://google.com/?QA=100 when the value of question QA is 100
You can even chain calculators like this, by linking to a URL where another calculator is loaded. For example, if you would have a calculator at this URL: https://google.com/?QA=100 The QA question of the calculator would be prefilled with the value 100.
The calculator data will not be saved. You can use the button to redirect users when they click it (fill the "Go to this URL after you click the button:" field), or to show a formula result after they click the button (tick "Show only after the form is submitted" in the Formula settings)
After the calculator is submitted take the user to the next step (applies in a multi-step calculator)
You will not receive an email when the calculator is submitted. The submission will still be saved and visibile in your Calculator Dashboard.
After the form is submitted a thank you message will be shown. It can also include values from other questions, just type "@" to type the question name.
When the calculator is submitted you will receive an email report with the information the user has put in the calculator. The email report goes to the email in your account by default.
You can update the subject for that email here.
Type "{{recipient_name}}" in the subject to show the name of the recipient (that you set in the "Recipient Name Question" field described below)
Each calculator submission gets a reference number (incremented starting from 1). Type "{{reference_number}}" in the subject field to show the reference number
If you want to send the email with the submitted information to the person submitting the form you will need to collect their email in the calculator, using a "Short Text Answer" question. Then select that question here to set it as the Recipient Email Address.
You can also use a "Short Text Answer" question to collect the user's name, which you can later use in the subject line by typing "{{recipient_name}}"
The email report goes to the email in your account by default. If you need to send the email report to more email addresses type them out here.
Tick this if you want the email to go to the person submitting the form (make sure you have set the "Recipient Email Address Question" above)
Change the Sender Name in the email that goes out to the person submitting the form
Set a custom subject for the person submitting the calculator
Customize the email that goes out to the person submitting the calculator. "{{summary}}" will show a list of all the calculator questions and answers. You can type @ to show a question value in the email report.
Set a custom email address that your users will reply to when they hit "Reply" on the emails they get from the calculator. (Default is the email in your InteractiveCalculator account)
If you need to also send a PDF attachment in the email.
The PDF has a "To" section where you usually write the information of the person submitting the form. Type "@" to open the question menu and pick the question(s) in the calculator that are relevant to the user (like name, email, phone, etc)
You typically write the information about your company in this section
Customize the PDF content in this section
Set a custom name for the PDF file, you can use "{{reference_number}}" in the file name.
Set the visibility based on a formula called the Visibility Formula. If the Visibility Formula result is true, the question will be shown in the calculator, otherwise it will be hidden. This allows you to show the question only in certain conditions, for example when another question has a certain value.
The whole field will be hidden until the calculator is submitted (by clicking a button)
Most of the style settings are self-explanatory, but here are a few tips and tricks:
You can set the Question Text Color, Background Color, Help Text color, by using the color picker.
The colors use the Hexadecimal code.
If you want to reset a color just delete the value.
Tip: you can set a color to transparent by typing "transparent" in the color box.
You can set a width for the field (Full width, One half, One third or One fourth). This allows for multiple Questions to sit side by side. Note that on small screen sizes the questions will be reset to full width for usability purposes.
The prefix or suffix may be moved to another line on smaller screens. Force it to stay on the same line with the formula value.
The result of this formula will be added as an attribute to the ".ic-question" parent element of the field/question.
The attribute is called "formula-attribute", and you can then use it in CSS code to change the way the question looks based on the formula. For example, you could change the background color of the field/question based on a formula.
For example you could have the "CSS Attribute Formula" be:
Useful for custom CSS/Javascript code. This allows you to change how this particular question looks or works using custom coding.
