Why is this important?

Using a redirect page allows you to display a specific page after a form submission. This is useful if you are using Ad Platforms that require a conversion event or just wish to present the visitor a well-worked message after they complete your form.

A form redirect is a good tool to use if there's some additional information or another step you'd like to provide your users, such as book a tour.

Example with Facebook Ad Platform

If you are using Facebook Ad Platform to run display ads and need to be able to manage the conversions. Meta handles conversions by using a pixel or a conversion event.

Let's say that you send visitors to an event registration page. You could set up a custom conversion that tracks website visitors who have submitted the form and end up on a new page that has /thank-you in its URL. Assuming your Thank You page is the only page with /thank-you in its URL, and you've installed the Pixel on that page, anyone who views it will be tracked using that custom conversion.
