Redirection
The Redirection app lets you automatically redirect visitors to another page after they successfully submit a Contact Form 7 form. This feature is useful for improving the user experience, tracking conversions, delivering downloadable content, or guiding visitors through the next step of your workflow.
Before using the Redirection app, make sure CF7 Apps is installed and activated on your WordPress website.
- The Redirection app supports both Global Settings and Individual Form Settings.
- Global Settings apply default redirection rules to all Contact Form 7 forms.
- Individual Form Settings allow you to configure different redirection settings for specific forms.
When both are configured, the individual form settings override the global settings.
Global Settings
To configure redirection globally:
- Navigate to Contact → CF7 Apps → Dashboard.
- Locate the Redirection app under General.
- Click the Settings icon.
- Configure the available settings.
- Click Save Changes.
| Setting | Description |
| Enable Redirection App | Enable or disable the Redirection app globally. |
| Global Settings | Apply the configured redirection settings to all Contact Form 7 forms by default. |
| Redirection Type | Choose whether to redirect visitors to an internal WordPress page or an external website. |
| Select Post Type | Select the WordPress page or post to redirect users to when using an internal destination. |
| External URL | Enter the destination URL when using an external website. |
| Open in New Tab | Opens the destination page in a new browser tab after form submission. |
Redirection only occurs after a successful form submission. If the submission fails validation or is marked as spam, the visitor remains on the current page.
Individual Form Settings
To configure redirection for an individual Contact Form 7 form:
- Open an existing Contact Form 7 form or create a new one.
- Scroll down to the CF7 Apps settings panel.
- Open the Redirection section.
- Configure the available settings.
- Save the form.
Global settings are automatically synced with each Contact Form 7 form. If you change the settings for an individual form, those settings will override the global configuration for that specific form.
