How to I implement skip logic in the prompting so that certain questions are skipped if certain answers are given?

@jordanstubb. To implement skip logic in your voice application using VAPI, you would typically structure your conversation flow to include conditional statements based on the user's responses. Here's a general approach to achieve this: 1. Define the points in your conversation where skip logic is needed. 2. Identify the conditions that determine whether to skip certain questions. 3. Implement conditional logic in your code to branch the conversation flow accordingly. For example, if you're using a scripting language or a visual flow builder, you might have something like this:
Copy code
pseudo
if user_response == "certain_answer" then
    skip to question_x
else
    continue with question_y
end if
In a more concrete example, if you're using a JSON-based dialog management system, it might look like this:
Copy code
json
{
  "type": "question",
  "name": "initial_question",
  "message": "Do you have any experience with voice APIs? (yes/no)",
  "next": {
    "yes": "advanced_question",
    "no": "basic_question"
  }
}
In this JSON structure, if the user answers "yes" to the initial question, they are directed to "advanced_question", otherwise, they go to "basic_question". If you need assistance with the specific implementation details within VAPI or have any other questions, please let me know, and I'd be happy to help further!
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

it depends upon your conversation logic. you can use branching or sectioning to jump b/w different parts of the prompt.
if you can share the prompt then i may can help you.
