What’s the Return URL of a Form?
When creating a new form with FormSmarts Form Builder, you’re asked to provide a return URL for that form. The return URL is where visitors will be invited to go to, after a successful form submission.
In practice, the return URL is only used when the form is accessed by URL, not when it’s embedded into your website. When visitors fill out the form directly on your site, they won’t leave the page hosting that form, and there is no need to send them anywhere else. The only thing that makes sense, is to display a “thank you” message right there.
We also use return URLs to compute the list of websites in Settings > Websites.
Return URL & Form Ownership
To prevent possible abuse, we will soon only display a link to the return URL on the confirmation page if the form owner is verified. Visit the Settings tab to verify your sites.
Want a Customized “Thank You” Message on Your Forms?
We’re thinking of letting form publishers add a personalized “thank you” message on the confirmation page. Please let us know if that’s something you would want to use on your forms.
