Redirection - On Successful Submission | Zoho Creator FAQs

FAQs: Redirection - On Successful Submission

This page covers the ins and outs of redirection on form submission, including its purpose, configuration methods, and potential destinations for redirection.

What is redirection on form submission? 

Redirection on form submission allows you to automatically redirect users to a specified page after they submit a form. 

What is the use of redirection on form submission?

The use of redirection on form submission includes guiding users to the next step in a multi-step process, for example redirecting them to a thank you page, sending them to a feedback page, displaying a confirmation message and so on.

What can I redirect users from my form to?

You can redirect your users to a website, a form within the same app, a report, or a page in the same app.

How can I enable redirection on form submission?

To enable redirection, open the form builder and click the Properties icon in the top-right corner. In the Form Properties section, check the Direct to checkbox. More options will appear, allowing you to define the destination entity (website or component) and the behavior of the redirection. Learn more about how to enable redirection.

Can I redirect to a form from another application?

No. You can only redirect to a form, report, or page in the same application.

What is the default behavior when a user submits data through a form?

By default, when a user submits data through a form, the same form reloads. This behavior also applies when a user adds a record while accessing a report. After submitting the record, they are redirected back to the same report.

Can I redirect users to a specific website after form submission?

Yes, you can redirect users to a website of your choice after form submission. In the Direct to options, select Website URL and enter the desired URL in the input box provided.

What are the available options for opening the redirected destination?

You have three options for how the redirected destination opens:
  1. Same Window: Opens the website or component in the same tab or window of the user's web browser.
  2. New Window: Launches a new tab or window in the user's web browser and opens the destination there.
  3. Parent Window: Opens the URL within the parent window.

How do I configure redirection to a form, report or page after form submission?

To redirect users to a form, report or page, follow the same steps as before. In the Direct to options, select Form, Report, or Page, then choose the specific report or page from the dropdown.

Are there any restrictions or requirements for enabling redirection on form submission?

There are no specific restrictions mentioned in this context. However, it's important to ensure that the destination URL, form, report, or page is accessible and functional for a seamless user experience.

Does redirecting the user log the user out?

No, redirecting does not log the user out. They remain logged into Zoho Creator even when they are redirected.

What should be the format of the external website URL?

A typical URL should have the following format: http://www.example.com/index.html. This format includes three key components:
  1. Protocol: Specifies the protocol to be used (e.g., http).
  2. Hostname: Indicates the domain name of the website (e.g., www.example.com).
  3. File Name: Refers to the specific file or page being accessed (e.g., index.html).
