Piping is a feature that automatically carries a respondent’s answers from one Choice (or Matrix) block to the next. This way, you can display only the options that are relevant to the respondent — for example, the ones they’ve already selected, or alternatively, the ones they didn’t choose.
What is Piping used for
What is Piping used for
With piping, you can refine answer choices. A respondent can first indicate which brands they’ve used, and in the next question they’ll only see those selected brands — all others will be hidden. You can also build negative logic by collecting unselected options and asking something like: “Why haven’t you used these brands?”
Piping works especially well in dynamic matrices, where rows are generated based on what’s actually relevant to each respondent. This helps reduce cognitive load — people don’t see unnecessary options, and data quality improves. By the way, if someone writes in their own option using the “Other” field, that custom answer will also be piped into the next question as a separate choice.

How Piping works in Wynde
How Piping works in Wynde
You can pipe answers from a Choice block that:
Appears earlier in the survey than the block you’re piping into
Allows multiple selections
Answers can be piped as:
Options in a Choice block
Rows in a Matrix block
Additional logic
01 You can pipe either all selected answers or, conversely, all unselected ones (useful for negative logic).
02 You can use a block that already has piping applied as a source for further piping.
03 “Other” responses are also piped — the respondent’s custom input appears as a separate option in the next block.
04 “None of the above” is not piped, but if you’re using the unselected mode, all other possible options will appear in the next block.
05 A block with answer piping can be skipped if there are no answers to pipe (for example, when “None of the above” is selected).
06 A block with answer piping can become optional if only one option remains — in that case, the respondent can proceed without making a selection.
