Shortcut For redirect Variables rather than dropdown?


Genius Academy

Wondering if anyone could help with some simple copy and paste code for a redirect using variables so we don’t need to pick from the drop down list every time. Is there a way to hardcode this?

 

ie: Videoaskurl##contact_name={{contactname}}

 

would that work?

Hey @Genius Academy, I just want to check that I understand your question.

Are you setting up multiple URL redirects, and you’re looking for a quick way paste the URL (which includes variables) into the field in the logic area, so you don’t have to manually add the variables into the URL using the ‘@’ symbol each time?

If so, then yes, this is possible. An example of the format for contact name would be:

{{contact_name}}

We have this article which talks about recalling variable values in overlay text and the format would be the same in this URL redirect field. 

I would always recommend sending in a test response after setting something like this up to ensure the redirect is working as expected.

Let me know if this helps, or if I’ve misunderstood what you’re trying to achieve. 🙂
