Creating a custom "Thank You" page

You can set the submit button to redirect visitors to any link or site page. To encourage visitors to keep exploring, you can have the button lead to a custom "Thank You" page with more information.

When creating a custom page for this purpose, make sure to hide it from the site menu and from search results. This ensures that the page is only visible to those submitting your form.
