Set up Form Submission Confirmation Message #
When someone fills up a form on your website, you will need to show them a confirmation message to assure them of the form submission.
We have set a default confirmation message that says- “Thank you for your message. We will get in touch with you shortly.” But you can customize this message according to your requirements.
To set up a customized message, go to the Settings & Integrations menu at the top of the page.
Here you will find three different options to show when someone has submitted a form.
- Same Page – Same page is selected by default. It enables you to show the submission message on the same page the form is in. Edit your confirmation message in the Message to show field.
- To a Page – Enables you to redirect after a successful form submission to a different page on your website. Use the Select Page option to pick a page.
- To a Custom URL – Enables you to redirect your subscriber to a page/website that is not on your website. Put the URL you want to redirect to in the Custom URL field.
