Form with Custom Redirect

By default, FormWit shows a generic confirmation page after submission. This template uses the _redirect hidden field to send users to your own thank-you page instead. This lets you control the post-submission experience: show a branded page, offer a next step, or track conversions. See the fields reference for all special fields.

Frequently asked questions

Does the redirect require a paid plan?

Custom redirects require the FormWit Starter plan or higher. On the free plan, users see FormWit's default confirmation page.

Can I redirect to an external URL?

Yes. The _redirect field accepts any valid URL — your own domain, a third-party service, or even a file download link.

What happens if the redirect URL is invalid?

The form submission is still processed and delivered. If the redirect URL is unreachable, the user's browser will show a standard navigation error.
