Customize the confirmation page for a Google Forms submission

I’m working on a Google Forms project and I want to make it more personalized. Is there a way to show my own custom ‘thank you’ page after someone submits the form? Right now it just goes to the default Google confirmation screen.

Here’s a simple example of what my form looks like:

<form id='custom-form'>
  <div>
    <label for='first-name'>First name:</label>
    <input type='text' id='first-name' required>
  </div>
  <div>
    <label for='last-name'>Last name:</label>
    <input type='text' id='last-name' required>
  </div>
  <button type='submit'>Send</button>
</form>

The form data gets sent to a Google Sheets document. I’d love to know if there’s a way to redirect users to my own page after they submit. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Yes, it’s possible to customize the confirmation page, but it requires a bit of workaround. I’ve done this before by embedding the Google Form in a custom HTML page on my own website. This way, you can use JavaScript to detect when the form is submitted and then redirect to your own thank-you page. It’s not a direct Google Forms feature, but it gives you full control over the user experience post-submission. You’ll need to use the Google Forms API to handle the form data submission in the background. It takes some setup, but it’s worth it for a more professional and branded experience for your users.

I once faced a similar challenge and found that while Google Forms does not offer a built-in way to customize the confirmation page, you can achieve a similar effect by embedding the form in a custom HTML page. This allows you to control the user experience after submission. In my project, I used JavaScript to detect when the form was submitted, and then redirected users to my custom thank-you page on my website. It required some additional work, but it provided the personalized touch I was looking for.

hey, u might wanna try using google apps script. it’s not super straightforward, but it lets u customize what happens after form submission. u gotta embed ur form in a custom page, then use javascript to catch the submission and redirect to ur own thank-you page. bit of a hassle, but worth it for that personal touch!
