Can Notion forms have conditional logic?

Yes, on Business and Enterprise plans. Add a multiple-choice question, open its ••• menu and pick Add conditional logic to show a follow-up question.

Yes. Notion forms have had conditional logic since March 2025, but only on the Business and Enterprise plans, and only on multiple-choice questions. You add it from a select or multi-select question’s ••• menu with Add conditional logic, then pick which follow-up question appears for which answer. On Free or Plus, the option isn’t there.

What Notion’s conditional logic does

Notion announced it in its March 26, 2025 release notes: forms “now allow you to ask follow-up questions based on earlier answers using conditional logic.” The Notion help center gives the shape of it: “if the user selects option A, you can direct them to a specific follow-up question.”

One guide on conditional logic in Notion forms describes the conditions as exact matches: if someone selects “Yes”, you show the extra fields tied to that answer.

Which plans include it

Notion plan Price per member/month Forms Conditional logic
Free Free Basic forms No
Plus $10 Custom forms No
Business $20 Custom forms Yes
Enterprise Custom Custom forms Yes

Prices and form features are from the Notion pricing page. All members on all plans can create and use forms. Free and Plus just can’t branch.

How to add conditional logic to a Notion form

You need a Business or Enterprise workspace and the desktop or web app. Forms can’t be built or customized on mobile.

  1. Open your form and add a question with the Multiple choice question type (a select or multi-select property).
  2. Add the follow-up questions you want to show conditionally.
  3. Click the ••• menu on the multiple-choice question and choose Add conditional logic. You can also get there by hovering over the answer options, as this Templates for Notion walk-through shows.
  4. Pick an answer and the question it should reveal.
  5. Preview the form and click through each answer to check the right questions appear.

A real example

Say you run a small design studio and use a client intake form. The first question is “What do you need?” with three options: Website, Branding, Both.

  • Pick “Website” and you see questions about page count and the current site’s URL.
  • Pick “Branding” and you see questions about existing logos and brand colors.
  • “Both” shows both sets.

Without logic, every client scrolls past questions that don’t apply to them, and some answer them anyway. The Templates for Notion example is smaller: on an email signup form, ticking “Allow email marketing” makes “Newsletter preferences” appear. Anyone who opts out never sees it.

The limits of Notion’s conditional logic

Only multiple-choice questions can trigger it. The help center says to add logic “if your question is multiple choice.” You can’t show a question when a budget is over a number or a date is in the past. The fix is to turn the number into ranges as select options (“Small”, “Medium”, “Large budget”).

Matching is on exact answers. There’s no “contains” for text.

Some behavior isn’t documented. The help center doesn’t say whether you can combine conditions with AND/OR, how many conditions a question can have, or what happens to a required question that a respondent never sees. Test these in preview before you send the form out.

It costs per member, not per form. Logic is a workspace plan feature. A five-person team moving from Plus to Business pays $10 more per person every month for it, even if only one person ever builds forms.

How to fake branching without Business

On Free or Plus, three workarounds hold up:

  1. Split the form. Make one form per path and put the right link in the email or page that sends people there. Two short forms beat one long form full of skipped questions.
  2. Mark optional sections clearly. Write the question title as “Website projects only: how many pages?” and make it optional. Clumsy, but honest.
  3. Use a form tool with its own logic that writes into your Notion database.

My take: if you’re on Plus and the form is the only thing pushing you toward Business, don’t upgrade for it. A per-member price jump for one branching intake form is a bad trade. Upgrade when you need Business for other reasons and take form logic as a bonus.

The third option is what nDBForms is for. Its logic rules show or hide questions based on earlier answers. They work on any Notion plan, including Free, because the logic runs in the form instead of Notion. Each answer lands as a row in your database. Logic and multi-page forms are on Pro ($12/month founding price), with a 7-day Pro trial and no card needed. The limitation: the nDBForms Free plan doesn’t include logic, and you’re adding a second tool that keeps its own copy of each response. If you already pay for Business, Notion’s built-in logic is the simpler choice. See pricing for the plan details.

FAQ

Is conditional logic in Notion forms free?

No. Notion lists conditional logic only on the Business and Enterprise plans. Free and Plus workspaces can build and share forms but can’t add logic.

Which questions can trigger conditional logic in a Notion form?

Only multiple-choice questions, meaning select and multi-select. You can’t branch on a number, date or text answer.

Why don’t I see Add conditional logic in my Notion form?

Either your workspace isn’t on Business or Enterprise, the question isn’t multiple choice, or you’re on mobile, where forms can’t be edited.

Can I get conditional logic in a Notion-connected form without upgrading Notion?

Yes, by using an external form builder that writes responses into your Notion database and has its own logic. nDBForms, for example, includes logic on its Pro plan and it works with any Notion plan.
