Building Forms
Thank-you page & redirect
Replace the default 'thanks for your response' screen with whatever you want — branded copy, next-step links, even answers piped from the response.
Add a thank-you page
Without one, respondents see the built-in screen: Thanks for your response! and “Your submission has been received.” To replace it, click an empty line on the canvas, type / and pick Thank You Page. The editor adds a green Thank You Page divider — badged Success only — at the bottom of the form and puts the cursor beneath it. Everything after that divider is the thank-you screen. To go back to the default, click the trash icon on the divider.
A form has at most one thank-you page, and the editor keeps it last: you cannot drag it, and adding a second one demotes the first to an ordinary page.
What you can put on it
- Headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables
- Images, YouTube videos, Google Maps, and iframe embeds
- Links, including link buttons to your site, store, or calendar
- Columns, to lay any of the above out side by side
- Answers from earlier questions — type @ to mention a field (“Thanks @name, we’ll review your application…”)
Questions, logic blocks, and page breaks are not allowed after the divider; the editor removes them if you move them there. Logic cannot jump to the thank-you page either — a Set next page action pointed at it is cleared.
Examples
Job application — “Thanks, @Name! We’ll review your application and get back to you within 5 business days.” with a link button to “View open roles”
Event registration — show the event date, a Google Maps embed for the venue, and an “Add to calendar” link
Order confirmation — pipe @Order total from a calculated field and add a “Track your order” button
Quiz result — “You scored @Score out of 10!” piped from a calculated field
Redirect instead
To send respondents to a page you own, set a redirect URL in
Form settings → Submissions. See Redirect after submit for query parameters and the rules that come with it.
What happens when you have both
A thank-you page and a redirect URL work together: formbase renders your thank-you content, then redirects after a three-second countdown. During the countdown the Submit again and Edit your response buttons are replaced by “Redirecting in 3 seconds…”, so nobody interrupts the jump.
Don't waste the moment
The thank-you screen is the highest-attention moment after a respondent commits. Use it for the next ask: book a call, share the form, view a confirmation.
Translations
Thank-you page text translates alongside the rest of your form. Open the Translate tab and the thank-you blocks show up under each language — headings, paragraphs, and link labels can all be localized. Piped answers (@ mentions) carry through automatically. See Translating form content for the full workflow.
