Post-submission action

Set up the action of the app for the user to automatically navigate after the user creates a successful submission.

  • Return to App Home - After a successful submission, the user will be redirected to the app home page.
  • Redirect to App Submissions - After a successful submission, the user will be redirected to the app home page.
  • Redirect to another URL - After successful submission, the user will be redirected to a custom URL.
    Enter URL - enter the URL where you want the user to be redirected to after creating a successful submission.

  • Print Submission: After a successful submission, the user will be redirected to the print preview of their submission instead of manually navigating to the "Submissions" tab and clicking on the PDF icon.

    Select Print Template - A dropdown will appear, allowing the admin to choose the print template that users will be redirected to for print preview. If multiple print templates are configured, all available templates will be listed in the dropdown for selection.

    Pop-up Blocker Notification - When a user makes a submission and is redirected to the print preview, their browser may block the pop-up window if it is the first time they are submitting after this configuration. A notification will appear, as shown in the image, indicating that a pop-up has been blocked.

To allow the redirection to the print preview:

  • Click on "Manage" in the pop-up notification.
  • Select "Always allow pop-ups and redirects from [your Clappia workspace URL]".
  • Click "Done" to save the settings.

Once this is done, future submissions will automatically open the print preview without interruption.

Enter redirection time (in seconds)

Enter redirection time (in seconds)

For all the above options (except none), an additional setting called "Enter redirection time (in seconds)" is available. Admins can set a delay between 1 to 30 seconds before the redirection occurs, giving users time to review the submission confirmation message before being taken to the selected destination.
