Quick Answer
Add the destination URL to the calendar or embedded widget settings
Edit the calendar, open the Forms & Payments area, paste the destination URL into the Next Page or redirect field, save the calendar, and complete a test booking. For page-specific redirects, configure the redirect in the embedded calendar widget settings.
Guiding Users to the Next Step Without Losing Them After Booking
You may have a booking process set up, but it is not always clear how to guide users to the next step after they schedule an appointment.
The Next Page link controls where users go immediately after completing a booking, connecting the calendar to a funnel or website flow.
If the redirect is not configured, users may stop after booking instead of continuing to the next action, such as completing a form, submitting payment, or viewing a confirmation page.
This guide explains how to configure redirect links so completed bookings lead directly into the next step of your process.
Next Page Links at a Glance
Where Can the Next Page Link Send Users?
The destination should continue the customer journey and provide a clear next action after the appointment is booked.
- A booking confirmation or thank-you page.
- A customer intake or onboarding form.
- A checkout or order page.
- The next step in a sales or onboarding funnel.
- A preparation page with instructions for the appointment.
- A resource, download, or document the customer needs before the meeting.
Match the destination to the booking
Send users to the page that naturally follows the appointment. Avoid redirecting them to a general homepage when a specific confirmation, intake, payment, or onboarding page is available.
Before You Begin
Prepare and test the destination page before adding its URL to the calendar.
- Confirm that the destination page is published and accessible.
- Copy the complete page URL, including https://.
- Confirm that the destination page works on desktop and mobile.
- Make sure the next action is clearly explained on the destination page.
- Decide whether all calendar bookings should use the same redirect.
- Decide whether different embedded pages need different destinations.

Calendar-level and page-level settings may differ

Quick Testing Checklist
- Open the exact booking page customers will use.
- Select an available test time slot.
- Complete every required booking-form field.
- Submit the booking completely.
- Confirm that the appointment is created successfully.
- Confirm that the browser immediately opens the correct next page.
- Check that the destination page loads without an error.

Troubleshooting Next Page Redirects
The redirect does not happen
Confirm that the calendar or page changes were saved and published. Reopen the settings and verify that the destination URL is still present.
The destination page shows an error
Open the destination URL directly in a browser. Confirm that the page is published and that the complete URL, including https://, was entered correctly.
The redirect opens the wrong page
Review both the calendar-level redirect and the embedded widget settings. Replace any outdated destination URL and test again.
The booking page works differently when embedded
Check the calendar element settings on the funnel or website page. The embedded widget may have page-specific settings that differ from the main calendar configuration.
