How to add a custom redirect after a survey is submitted

Using Google Tag Manager, you can create a custom redirect for any time a subscriber submits a survey, in place of the confirmation page. This creates a perfect opportunity for you to keep your audience engaging with your content by redirecting them back to a page of your choice. 

• Sign in to Google Tag Manager: To create a custom redirect as outlined here, you’ll need to have a Google Tag Manager (GTM) account. 
  • Go to tagmanager.google.com and sign in. Make sure you are using a Google account.
• Connect your GTM account to beehiiv: Before proceeding, ensure your Google Tag Manager account is connected to your beehiiv account.
  • Refer to this article for instructions on how to connect the two accounts.
• Create a survey: You’ll need an existing survey to set up a custom redirect.
  • If you haven't created one yet, read this article to learn more about surveys and how to create them.
• Signup Flow redirects: If you're using a subscribe survey within a Signup Flow, you can already redirect your audience to continue through the flow and add a custom redirect at the end.
  • Refer to this article for more details on creating a Signup Flow.
