About Submit Actions

Submit actions control what happens after a user successfully submits a form. They enable you to create workflows by directing users to specific pages, showing confirmation messages, or triggering external redirects based on form data.

What You'll Learn

• How to create and configure submit actions
• Ways to manage multiple conditional redirects
• Methods for building form completion workflows
• Techniques for implementing confirmation messages
• Best practices for user navigation flows
• Solutions for common submit action challenges

Basic Configuration

Default Submit Action

• Every form includes one default action
• Cannot be removed or have conditions
• Serves as fallback when no other rules match

Available Actions

1. Confirmation Message

• Display custom confirmation text
• Optional form reload link
• Auto-reload functionality
• Fade transition effects

2. Page Redirects

• Existing page navigation
• Parent page return
• External URL redirect
• New child page creation

Action Management

Creating Actions

1. Access Form Settings
2. Select "Actions & Rules"
3. Choose "Submit Actions"
4. Click "Add Rule"

Editing Actions

• Modify conditions
• Change redirect targets
• Update confirmation messages
• Reorder action sequence

Action Organization

• Drag-and-drop reordering
• Copy existing actions
• Multiple conditional paths
• Priority management

Conditional Logic

When Criteria

• Field-based conditions
• Multiple condition support
• All conditions must be true
• Not available for default action

Rule Processing

• Top-to-bottom evaluation
• First matching rule executes
• Default action as fallback
• Condition verification

Implementation Examples

Common Workflows

Best Practices

Action Structure

• Keep default action simple
• Order rules from specific to general
• Use clear confirmation messages
• Maintain logical navigation flow

User Experience

• Provide clear next steps
• Confirm successful submissions
• Enable form resubmission when appropriate
• Maintain context in redirects

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Conflicting action rules
• Unexpected redirects
• Missing confirmations
• Condition evaluation errors

Solutions

• Verify rule order
• Check condition logic
• Test all submission paths
• Validate redirect targets

Technical Notes

Limitations

• One default action required
• Default action cannot have conditions
• Multiple conditions require all true
• Same-trigger rules use last match

Tip: Plan your submit action sequence before implementation to ensure a logical flow for users.

Note: The default submit action serves as a fallback and will trigger when no other conditions match.
