Route to page

Function: Route to page​

Redirect a user to another page within your application. This action allows you to control which page your users see next, and even pass specific information to that page.

Input​

  • Template The specific page you want to send the user to. This is a required input.
  • Template parameters A collection of key-value pairs that represent data you want to pass to the target page. For example, you might pass an orderId to an "Order Details" page.
  • Force route A True/False switch. If set to True, the application will always redirect to the chosen page, even if the user is already on that page or if there are language differences that would normally prevent the route. If False, the system might try to find a language-matching version of the page or avoid unnecessary redirects.
  • Target Determines how the new page should open.
    • Self: Opens the new page in the current browser window or tab.
    • New window/tab: Opens the new page in a brand new browser window or tab.

Output​

No direct output is returned by this action. The action's effect is the redirection of the user to the specified page.
