Month Token

E

Hello everyone,

 

I’m trying to create a form with questions that ask for information from the past 3 months, regardless of today’s date. Is it possible to insert a token that automatically inserts last month in one question, the previous one in another question and the previous in another?

 

e.g. Question 1: Did you go to the movies in <Last Month Token>?

       Question 2: Did you go to the movies in <Previous Month Token>?

       Question 3: Did you go to the movies in <Previous Month Token>?       

 

Thanks in advance. :)

Elias

Hey @elias.heyaime 

If you are willing to explore, you can probably build a worfklow using Zapier or Integromat that will execute at the beginning of each month to modify the text of your form.

Here is a blog post on how to do this via code

    Hi @elias.heyaime We don’t have an option to add a token into the form with the previous few months. While you could use a variable to input information, I think it might almost be easier to manually edit the questions each month to reflect the last three months instead. 

    Will the months be the same for everyone who receives the form? Or if you don’t mind sharing more about what the form is, I can try to think of another solution!

    Hello Liz,

     

    Thank you for your response, that was the alternative I also thought about.

    The months will be the same for everyone that receives the form because it will only depend on what the current month is. I need to know some analytical given in numbers and also in currency from the past 3 months regardless of the current month we’re in.

     

    If by any chance you have another option do let me know. :)
