Overview
On-input actions are actions taken while the form is loaded (before submission). They can be useful for inputting field values based on other field values, clearing values based on other field values, blocking a submission based on a field value, and more. This article goes through all the available options.

How On-Input Actions Enable Conditional Logic Actions
Actions (On-Input) is a powerful feature that allows you to perform complex actions on form inputs.
Normally, adding multiple filters to the same field action is not allowed. However, with the use of a combination of on-input actions, field actions, and hidden fields, this can be achieved.
Example Scenario
Consider a form with fields for job titles and country. You want to perform a specific action for prospects who:
Have ‘CEO’ as a job title
AND
Have ‘USA’ as their country
Steps to Achieve This
Create a hidden field:
Add a hidden radio button field and name it ‘CEO in USA’.
Use an On-Input action to combine both filters.
Set the action to check Yes in the hidden radio button field if the job title is ‘CEO’ AND the country is ‘USA’.
If both conditions are met, the action will select the appropriate choice in the hidden radio button field.
On-input actions also allow you to use ‘AND’ and ‘OR’ arguments when adding conditions, providing greater flexibility and control over form interactions.
Add a field action to the result. For instance, in this example, the field action sends an email to every prospect who has 'Yes' in the 'CEO in USA' radio button field based on the Action On-Input.
