  • Function Reference
    You can use expressions in your flows to customize messages and make more complex splits. See our detailed guide on Expressions here and see more about expression syntax here. If you have any questions, send us a message via the support widget in the bottom right corner.Few readers

You can do this by using the @node.visitcount expression within a Split by Expression action. In the example below, we've created a very simple quiz. We want the contact to have limited opportunities to answer the question, so we will place the @node.visitcount expression on a 'Split by Expression' node to limit the number of guesses.
