Redirect after completion sends a respondent to another web page right after they submit a survey: your site, a booking page, a coupon or the next step of a funnel. The end of the survey then leads to an action.
The redirect link can carry data from the survey, such as an answer or a source code from the original link, so the next page knows who arrived. Other platforms call it a redirect URL or an exit link.
How it works in SurveyNinja
- From a Thank You Screen (Basic and higher). Auto switch opens your link after the number of seconds you set. An Action button with Follow the link lets the respondent click when ready.
- Without a Thank You Screen. In the submit button settings (Standard and higher), choose Follow the link, or Text and redirect by link to show a message first.
- Different pages for different people. Add several Thank You Screens and route respondents with logic, for example promoters to your review page.
- Data in the link. Answer from question inserts an answer or a hidden variable into the address.
Help: Welcome, thank you and other survey screens, Hidden variables, Reusing answers in survey questions, Logic jumps.
Tips
- Give people a few seconds on the thank-you screen before an automatic redirect, so they see the response was sent.
- Test the whole path in a private window, including the values in the link.
- Don't rely on a redirect to pass responses to another system: people can close the tab first. Use a webhook.
