  • Customer satisfaction surveys (rate multiple aspects)
  • Employee performance reviews
  • Product comparison (rate multiple features)
  • Course/event feedback (rate multiple sessions)
  • Vendor evaluation
Tip

Keep matrices to 5-7 rows maximum. Larger matrices become tedious on mobile. For more items, split into multiple matrix fields with clear section headers.

Note

On mobile, matrix fields may stack vertically (one row at a time) instead of showing the full grid. Test on mobile to ensure readability.

Configuration tabs

Every field has 5 configuration tabs when clicked on the form canvas:

TabWhat you configure
DesignQuestion text, description, placeholder, help text
DataDefault value, variable name, prefill from URL parameters
SettingsRequired/optional, read-only, hidden
ValidationsFormat rules, min/max, custom error messages
ImageAttach an image alongside the question

Using in workflows

When this field is part of a form connected to a workflow via the Form Submission trigger, its value is available as a variable:

{{trigger.fieldName}}

Use it in any downstream node: send it in an email, store it in a database, pass it to an AI node for analysis, or use it in an If-Else condition for routing.
