How do I redirect guests to a specific website or URL?

The goal of direct marketing is to get a potential (or current) customer to take a specific action related to your business. It could be anything, like signing up for your email list, watching an opt-in video, filling out a customer survey or visiting your website.

Redirect after registration or after login

On domain settings, you can choose if you want to redirect guests to an external website or URL.

There are two types of redirection:
1) Redirection after guests register
2) Redirection after guests log in

With the first one, guests will be redirected after the registration process and so only when they register to the system for the first time.
While with the second one, guests will be redirected after every login, so every time they fill in the username and password and then click the “Login” button.

Procedure

Redirection after the guests register

  1. Go to the Data tab and select the domain where you want to configure redirection
  2. Click the dropdown menu of your domain, scroll down to Edit and click it.
  3. Expand the Redirections section, and on the After Registration URL field, edit the URL where to redirect guests after registration.

NOTE: In the URL, you can use the following variables: %UserName%, %Password% and %EMailAddress%.
For example http://www.FQDN.com/ShowCredentials.php?Username=%UserName%&Password=%Password%

Redirection after the guests log in

  1. Go to the Data tab and select the domain where you want to configure redirection
  2. Click the dropdown menu of your domain, scroll down to Edit and click it.
  3. Expand the Redirections section, and on the After Login URLs (comma-separated) field, edit the URL where to redirect guests every time they log in.

It is possible to specify multiple URLs separated by commas

To avoid losing the Welcome Portal (Login page), once you enable the redirect after the login, we’d recommend selecting YES, in a new tab in the Auto-Surf at Login dropdown in the Data to Customize Users Registration session.
