Using this Conditional actions, you can automate some actions in the database.

When you enter certain data into the form, you can send E-mail and SMS notifications, Update the record, Show messages and Redirect user to web pages.

These actions can be used and combined with each other at the same time.

Here is just a few 'Conditional actions' usage examples:

• Send Email/SMS when order status changes
• Update record
• Show predefined message depending from the user's choice on form. I.e. 'Thanks John for ordering Phone!', when user selected to order Phone
• Redirect user to another web-page. For example to Samsung page if ordered Samsung device and to Apple site if ordered iPhone
• Do not send data if criteria match. For example, if your criteria specifies the date range in which you do not want to accept input. For example, show message 'No vacations in August' if user selected August as a vacation month.
