Transform dropdown text answer into matched URL for use in Zapier

Thanks for the welcome @john.desborough, that does make perfect sense. Unfortunately there is actually 5 questions, all with the same 450 answers and so that would create the need for 2250 logic rules, i.e. with 5 text variables (one for each question). It is a solution I hadn’t thought of though and if there isn’t other forthcoming ideas that make it simpler, I will look at giving that a try

@JosephS - at least you could create the logic for the first question then duplicate the question to short cut the creation of the logic rules for each, though you will have to edit the ‘replace with’ text with the different url strings (assuming that they are different for each of the 5 questions 

might save a little time.. but..  feel your pain!

 @john.desborough, good to know duplicating the question will duplicate the logic behind it. That is super helpful to know. All the URLs will be the same, so just be a matter of updating the text variable on each. Thanks again!

Trying to think about a way to make this generic so you don’t have to create a rule for each option.
Are you the owner of the images and do you control where they are hosted?
Because you could probably rename those so it fits the same format to be:

http://server.com/{answer to question}.png

It takes a bit of time of rewriting the file names, but at least it simplifies the logic.

Otherwise in Zapier you use a code flow that could look like this (I have not tested it)

let images = {
 'answer to question 1': "https://server.com/image1.png",
 'answer to question 2': "https://server.com/image2.png"
...
}

let finalImgURL = images[typeform_response]

And it’s in this code block that you link things together.
