Customize the confirmation page for Google Forms submissions

Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out how to set up a custom thank you page after someone submits a Google Form. I’ve got a form set up that collects first and last names, and it’s linked to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. But I want to show my own page after they hit submit instead of the default Google confirmation.

Here’s a simplified version of what my form looks like:

<form id="custom-form">
  <div>
    <label for="firstName">First name:</label>
    <input type="text" id="firstName" required>
  </div>
  <div>
    <label for="lastName">Last name:</label>
    <input type="text" id="lastName" required>
  </div>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Any ideas on how to make this work? I’d really like to add my own branding and message to the confirmation page. Thanks for your help!

I’ve tackled this issue before, and while Google Forms doesn’t offer native customization for the confirmation page, there’s a clever workaround.

I created a simple web app using Google Apps Script to handle the form submission, record the data in the spreadsheet, and then display a custom HTML page. Essentially, you design your own thank you page with your branding and message. Then, modify your form so that it submits to the web app instead of the default Google Forms action. Although it involves some scripting, this method gives you full control over the post-submission experience and even allows you to personalize the message based on the submitted data.

Unfortunately, Google Forms doesn’t offer built-in options for fully customizing the confirmation page. However, there’s a workaround you can implement. Create a separate HTML page with your desired branding and message, then host it on a platform like GitHub Pages or your own server. Use Google Apps Script to set up a custom redirect after form submission. In the script editor, you can add code to trigger the redirect to your custom page. This method allows you to maintain form data in Google Sheets while providing a tailored post-submission experience for your users. Keep in mind this approach requires some coding knowledge and additional setup beyond the standard Google Forms interface.

hey there! i’ve dealt with this before. sadly, google forms doesn’t let u fully customize the confirmation page. but here’s a workaround: after form submission, redirect users to ur own page using JavaScript. you’ll need to host it separately tho. hope this helps!
