Using Action Buttons on Thank You Pages

March 26, 2024

When a form is submitted, a thank you message is displayed. Most of the time, your workflow ends there. In some instances, you might want to let users fill the same form again or redirect users to another form, blank form or carry the same data. In old times, you manually create a link and add that link to the thank you page. The same when providing a way for users to edit their submission and download a PDF copy of their entry. Action Buttons in your form’s Thank You Page will make all these seamlessly possible in just a few clicks.

Action Buttons are available in both Classic and Card Forms. For Card Forms, you have to scroll down at the bottom of the form and click the Edit Thank You Page. For Classic Forms, navigate to the following:

  1. Click the Settings at the top part.
  2. Go to the Thank You Page tab.
  3. Click the Action Button.
