Form with Iframe in Wordpress

Hello,

I am using an Airtable form embedded on my website via an iframe. In the form settings, I enabled the option “Enter a URL to redirect to after the form is submitted” and added the URL of my thank-you landing page.

However, after submitting the form, the page redirects back to the form instead of redirecting to the landing page I specified.

The form is embedded on my website using an iframe, and I suspect that this might be affecting the redirect behavior.

Could you please help me understand why the redirect is not working and how I can fix it?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,

    Unfortunately we can’t redirect embedded forms currently I’m afraid

    If you’ve got a paid Fillout plan you could try testing that?  (Redirects after form submissions are a paid feature currently)

    Their docs don’t mention anything about embedded form redirects so you’d have to test it I’m afraid

    When you embed an Airtable form using an iframe, the form operates entirely within that isolated window. For security reasons, modern browsers restrict scripts inside a cross-domain iframe from forcing the top-level parent page to navigate to a new URL.

    Few options - 

    1. Build a native html form on your website that sends a POST Webhook request to Airtable
    2. Use a purpose built form tool like Fillout that is connected to Airtable
    3. Modify the Iframe Sandbox Attributes (Quick Fix, but Inconsistent)

    If you need to stick with the native Airtable embed, you can attempt to force the iframe to permit top-level navigation by adding specific sandbox attributes to your HTML embed code:

    <iframe class="airtable-embed" src="YOUR_AIRTABLE_LINK" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="533" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-forms allow-same-origin allow-popups"></iframe>

    Note: While this grants the iframe the theoretical permission to redirect the parent page, Airtable's 5-second delay timer may still trigger strict browser pop-up blockers, making this the least reliable method across different devices.
