Decision Tree

Use template

PixieBrix lets you build powerful decision trees that embed in web apps as a Chrome extension

PixieBrix is the completely customizable browser extension that works where you work. We embed in your existing web apps, allowing you to modify any web interface. PixieBrix boasts a user-friendly visual interface that allows even non-technical users to easily build and edit decision trees without needing to code. This eliminates the need for specialized skills and empowers teams to collaborate and iterate on decision models directly.

PixieBrix offers seamless integration with existing platforms and workflows. Whether it's embedded within an application, accessed through a browser extension, or connected to external data sources, PixieBrix adapts to your existing infrastructure. This eliminates the need for disruptive software changes and makes decision trees readily accessible to relevant stakeholders across the organization.

This tutorial walks you through activating the PixieBrix Decision Tree mod, and adding a Google Sheet to customize with your own data.

What You'll Need

  • PixieBrix Account (It's Free)
  • Google Sheets Account
  • Your Decision Tree Data (Upload a CSV or build in Google Sheets)

Activate the Decision Tree Template

Click the button to activate!

Click Ok at the bottom of the sidebar, and then select the Decision Tree tab to try out the tree.

Notice that each step has options for stepping back or moving to other stages of the tree. You can use markdown to incorporate styles like headers, lists, images, links, and more.

Customize with your own decision tree data

To display your own data in the sidebar, you'll need a Google Sheet with a decision tree defined.

Prep your Google Sheet

It's easiest to copy our Google Sheet template to your Google Drive, and then customize the text inside there.

Each row is a step in your workflow, and you'll specify the title that appears at the top of the sidebar, the content below, and any buttons that should appear below.

For each button you'd like to include for a step, add a column with the text of the button and the step it should go to if clicked. For instance, if you want a button that says "This Solved It" and goes to step 5 in the tree, you'll want to type This Solved It[5] in the cell.

⛔ Do not edit:

  • any headers in Row 1
  • tab title (Decision Tree General)
🚨🚨🚨 Editing any of the bulleted items above will break the template and require customization inside the Page Editor to fix.

Reactivate by clicking Add your decision tree from the sidebar

Once you've prepped your spreadsheet, click the button below the decision tree to Add your decision tree using Google Sheets.

The sidebar will display configuration options. Start by choosing a Google Drive integration. Select one from the dropdown, or click Configure if you haven't created one yet.

A pop-up will appear, asking you to select a Google account. Choose the account where you copied the spreadsheet.

Click the dropdown of the Spreadsheet field and select the spreadsheet you customized above.

Click Finish Activating at the bottom of the sidebar, then Ok to go back to your decision tree and try it out with your custom data.
