Is it possible within a custom web module to show / hide info if a certain field within a form matches the contents of a custom field within the web module?

Currently when I select a form within the web module it displays set info (example below). How do I write an if condition based on the first name field which isn’t shown in the code?

```lia-code-sample
{% form
	form_to_use="{{ module.form_field.form_id }}"
	response_response_type="{{ module.form_field.response_type }}"
	response_message="{{ module.form_field.message }}"
	response_redirect_id="{{ module.form_field.redirect_id }}"
	response_redirect_url="{{module.form_field.redirect_url}}"
	gotowebinar_webinar_key="{{ module.form_field.gotowebinar_webinar_key }}"
%}

```

Hi Ben,

Depending on your account level you can natively use [dependent form fields](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/use-dependent-form-fields)  
Failing that you’d likely need to use a javascript solution targeting the specific input by name and triggering something to show on change/keyup, etc.

Hi @BarryGrennan,

You’re right, JS / bespoke API will probably be required for my use case as I would like to go beyond my original example and potentially change the email it sends the answers to based on a custom object field. I’ll take a look, but I think the dependent form field will be too basic for my needs.

For the different emails part you could probably use [workflows](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/create-workflows) with the trigger being Form Submission and filter by contact property (again, depends on account level)
