How to Set Up HubSpot Form Redirects After Submission

Managing what happens after a form submission in Hubspot is essential for a smooth user journey and accurate lead tracking. This guide walks you through how to redirect form submissions to a meeting scheduling page, a HubSpot page, or an external URL using the form editor.

The instructions below are based on the official HubSpot documentation and organized so you can quickly apply them in real projects, whether you are working on landing pages, pop-up forms, or embedded forms on external sites.

Understanding HubSpot Form Redirect Options

When a visitor submits a form, you can decide which confirmation option they see. In the HubSpot form tool, you have three main redirect types you can configure.

• Show an inline thank-you message.
• Redirect to a HubSpot hosted page.
• Redirect to an external URL, including a meeting scheduling page.

This article focuses on how to use the redirect options to take visitors to the right page at the right moment in your funnel.

Accessing the HubSpot Form Editor

Before you can configure redirects, you must open the form editor where the settings live.

1. Log in to your HubSpot account.
2. In the main navigation bar, go to Marketing > Forms.
3. Locate the form you want to edit in the forms dashboard.
4. Click the name of the form to open it in the editor.

Once the form editor is open, you can configure what happens after submission in the options panel.

HubSpot Form Options: Where Redirects Are Controlled

All confirmation and redirect settings are controlled in the options tab of the form editor.

1. In the left sidebar of the form editor, click the Options tab.
2. Find the section labeled What should happen after a visitor submits this form?

Here you decide whether to show a simple thank-you message or redirect to another page. The redirect settings apply to forms used on HubSpot pages, pop-up forms, and embedded forms on external websites.

Redirecting to a HubSpot Page

If you host your confirmation or thank-you content on a HubSpot page, you can configure the form to send visitors directly to that page after submission.

1. In the Options tab, locate the What should happen after a visitor submits this form? setting.
2. Select Redirect to another page.
3. In the dropdown menu that appears, choose HubSpot page if available in your account.
4. Browse or search for the existing HubSpot page you want to use as the confirmation or thank-you page.
5. Click the page name to select it and save your changes in the form editor.

When the form is used on any supported page or embedded externally, a successful submission will send the contact to the chosen HubSpot page.

Best Practices for HubSpot Confirmation Pages

• Include a clear thank-you message confirming the form was received.
• Provide next steps, such as links to resources or instructions for checking email.
• Add tracking codes or analytics scripts on the HubSpot confirmation page to measure conversions.

Redirecting to an External URL or Meeting Page in HubSpot

You might want to send visitors to a non-HubSpot page after submission, such as a meeting scheduling link, a product demo booking tool, or a custom thank-you page on another domain. You can do this via the external URL option.

1. In the form editor, go to the Options tab.
2. Under What should happen after a visitor submits this form?, select Redirect to another page.
3. Open the dropdown and choose External page if your account presents this choice, or select the field where you can enter a URL.
4. Paste the full external URL, including https://. This can be a standard web page or a dedicated meeting scheduling link.
5. Click Update or Save in the form editor to confirm your changes.

After saving, anyone submitting the form will automatically be redirected to the external address you specified. This works for forms embedded in non-HubSpot sites as well as those placed on HubSpot CMS pages.

Using HubSpot Forms with Meeting Scheduling Links

You can use a standard form as the first step in a booking flow, then redirect visitors to a meeting scheduling page.

• Create or locate your meeting scheduling link in your calendar or scheduling tool.
• Copy the full URL of the meeting booking page.
• In your HubSpot form options, select the external redirect option and paste this meeting URL.
• Publish or update the form so the new redirect takes effect.

This approach lets you capture contact data via a HubSpot form while handing off the scheduling step to your preferred booking system.

Choosing Between Inline Thank-You and HubSpot Redirects

HubSpot gives you a choice: show a message directly on the page or redirect visitors. The best option depends on your campaign goals.

• Inline thank-you message is best for short confirmations on single-page experiences where you do not need additional tracking or multi-step flows.
• Redirect to a HubSpot page is ideal when you want to show more detailed confirmation, deliver gated content, or present cross-sell offers.
• Redirect to an external URL works when your final step is off the HubSpot platform, such as a meeting booking app or third-party confirmation page.

You can update this setting at any time from the form editor without needing to change the embedded code on your website, as long as the form itself remains the same.

Where HubSpot Redirect Settings Apply

The redirect rules you configure in the form editor carry through to most places where the form is used, including:

• HubSpot landing pages.
• Website pages hosted on HubSpot CMS.
• Pop-up forms created inside the same form tool.
• Embedded forms placed on external sites using the embed code.

Changes to redirect behavior take effect globally wherever the specific form is embedded or used, saving you from editing each individual page.

Verifying Your HubSpot Form Redirects

After updating the redirect settings, always test your form to ensure the behavior matches your expectations.

1. Open the page where the form is published, either on a HubSpot page or your external site.
2. Fill out the form with test data.
3. Submit the form and confirm that you are redirected to the correct HubSpot page or external URL.
4. Check your browser’s address bar to verify that the final URL is accurate.

If you do not see the expected redirect, return to the form editor options and confirm that the correct setting and URL have been selected and saved.
