After-submit redirect

After-submit redirect sends finishers to an external thank-you URL - portal, receipt page, or next product step - when the form completes. Add it as an end action / block with a destination URL in the Formit builder. Prefer an End page when the thank-you should stay inside Formit; use redirect when you need an external next step. Publishing may require a higher plan.

How it works

  1. Add After-submit redirect as an end action / block in the builder.
  2. Set the destination URL for the portal, receipt, or next product step.
  3. Preview the completion path to confirm the redirect fires when the form completes.
  4. Publish on an eligible plan so finishers land on the external URL.

Benefits

  • Destination URL sends finishers to the next external step.
  • Fires when the form completes - no extra respondent action.
  • Use instead of only an End page when you need an off-Formit next step.

Use cases

  • Send finishers to a customer portal or account setup URL.
  • Receipt or confirmation pages hosted on your site.
  • Next product step after a lead or onboarding form.

Tips and best practices

  • Use End Page when thank-you copy and media should stay inside Formit.
  • Double-check the destination URL before publish.
  • Confirm plan eligibility - after-submit redirect is plan-gated.

Limitations and plan notes

  • Publishing after-submit redirect may require a higher (paid) plan.
  • Redirect is for external destinations; in-Formit thank-you experiences use End Page.
