Conversational Forms
Ask one question at a time. Finish more forms.
Every Orbiform form can be published as a conversational layout — one question per screen, a progress bar, and Enter to advance. It's the same interaction model popularized by Typeform, and it's a toggle away from your existing questions, not a separate form to rebuild.
What Conversational Forms does
Same questions, two layouts
Classic and conversational aren't separate form types — every form can switch between a single scrollable page and a one-question-at-a-time flow from Editor → Design → Layout, any time.
Built for higher completion
Each screen feels quick and low-effort, which tends to produce higher completion rates than a long scrollable page — especially for surveys, feedback, and onboarding flows.
Skipped questions never appear
Conversational is the natural fit for conditional logic: a question with a false condition is automatically skipped as the respondent advances, and the progress bar accounts for the skip.
Enter-to-advance interaction
Respondents press Enter to move to the next question — no scrolling, no hunting for a Next button, and no way to see the whole form length upfront to feel discouraged by.
How it works
Build your questions once
Add questions the same way you would for any form — manually or with the AI Builder.
Switch the layout
Open Editor → Design → Layout and choose Conversational. No questions need to be rebuilt or re-entered.
Add logic if you need it
Conditional show/skip rules apply automatically — irrelevant questions are skipped as the respondent moves through, not just hidden on a page.
Publish and compare
Publish and check the Analytics tab's per-question response rate to see where, if anywhere, respondents are dropping off.
Who uses conversational forms
Customer feedback and NPS surveys, where finishing the survey matters more than reviewing earlier answers
Onboarding flows and quizzes that benefit from a focused, one-thing-at-a-time feel
Any form using conditional logic, since skipped conversational questions simply never appear
Lead-gen forms where a lower-friction feel measurably reduces abandonment
FAQ
Do I have to rebuild my form to use the conversational layout?+
No. Layout is a setting on your existing form (Editor → Design → Layout) — the same questions render either as a single scrollable page or one-at-a-time.
Does conditional logic work differently in conversational mode?+
It behaves more naturally, not differently in kind. In classic layout, a question with a false condition is hidden on the page. In conversational layout, it's automatically skipped as the respondent advances, and the progress bar accounts for the skip.
When should I use classic instead of conversational?+
Choose classic for longer application-style forms, or whenever respondents expect to scroll back and review or edit earlier answers before submitting. Choose conversational by default for surveys, feedback, and onboarding.
Can respondents go back to change an earlier answer in conversational mode?+
Yes, respondents can navigate back through previously answered questions before submitting.
