# Basic Redirect Setup

> Send users to a thank-you page after submission.

Formbase uses a built-in success page for browser submissions. You can add a return URL in the dashboard so users can navigate back to your site, or you can handle redirects yourself with JavaScript.

Choose the approach that fits your UX.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Option 1: Use the built-in success page">
    In the form settings, set a return URL. After submission, Formbase displays a success page with a "Return" button pointing to that URL.

  <Step title="Option 2: Redirect manually">
    Intercept the submission with JavaScript and send users to your own thank-you page.

    ```js theme={null}
    const response = await fetch('https://formbase.dev/s/YOUR_FORM_ID', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: new FormData(formElement),
      redirect: 'manual',
    });

    if (response.status === 303 || response.ok) {
      window.location.href = '/thanks';
    }
    ```

    This gives you full control over the post-submit experience.

  Browser requests receive a `303` redirect. Treat it as success when using client-side fetch.
