Nodes and components
Forms lets you add nodes and components, such as fields, blocks, and widgets for your users to interact with the form. You can then reference the data input, from components, in your forms and flows.
Form nodes
There are five types of form nodes: Start, Step, Flow, Router and Ending screen. These nodes have a very specific purpose for the structure of the form.
Step node
Step nodes are the visual representation of the form. They can contain any number of components, such as fields, blocks, and widgets where the user can fill in their data.
Field components
Fields are UI components where users input their information in Forms.

Router node
Router nodes let you add rules to create conditional logic jumps between nodes.
By default, a router node has a single pass-through rule named Default Case that connects to other nodes. You can add additional rules based on a set of conditions that a variable must meet to then connect to other nodes. To learn more, read Router.
Flow node
Flow nodes let you add and create custom logic and integration flows to your forms. To learn more, read Flows.
Start node
Start nodes are not visible to the user. It is where you can configure hidden field variables, such as user attributes when rendering a form with an Action.
Ending screen node
Every form has an Ending screen node. By default this node resumes the authentication flow and this is where you can configure an After submission flow.
