Troubleshooting Guide: Custom URL Redirection after Signing a Contract
Set up global and document-level redirects that fire after a contract is signed—and fix conflicts, invalid URLs, or override rules when redirects don’t behave as expected.
Guiding Customers Correctly After Signing Instead of Leaving Them Stuck
Contract signing flows can feel incomplete when customers finish signing but are not redirected to onboarding pages, scheduling links, thank-you pages, or the next step in the process.
BizStackPro document redirects rely on properly configured global redirect settings, document-level redirect rules, valid URLs, and correct priority handling to send signers to the intended destination automatically.
Without proper redirect configuration, businesses may confuse new clients, interrupt onboarding flows, miss upsell opportunities, or leave customers uncertain about what happens after signing a contract.
This guide explains how to configure global and document-level redirects, troubleshoot redirect conflicts, fix invalid URL problems, and stabilize post-sign customer routing inside BizStackPro documents and contracts.
Before troubleshooting redirect failures, it helps to understand how global redirects, document-level redirects, URL validation, and redirect priority rules work together inside BizStackPro contracts and documents.
Overview
BizStackPro can automatically send signers to a specific page after they complete a contract or document. You can set a global redirect (applies to all documents) or a document-level redirect (applies only to one contract).
This guide shows how to configure both options, explains how priority typically works, and provides the most common checks when redirects fail.
Rule of thumb: Use a global redirect for one universal “next step” page. Use a document-level redirect when each contract needs a different destination (onboarding, upsell, scheduling, etc.).
1) Enable a Global Redirect (After Any Document Is Signed)
A global redirect sends all signers to the same destination after completing any contract. This is perfect for a universal thank-you page, onboarding hub, or client portal.
Steps
- Go to Settings → Labs (or your account’s document feature settings area).
- Find an option like Redirect to custom URL after document is signed.
- Toggle the feature On.
- Paste your global redirect URL (use the full URL starting with
https://). - Choose whether the link opens in the same tab or a new tab.
- Click Save.
Heads up: If a specific document has its own redirect set, that document-level URL may override the global URL for that contract.
2) Set a Document-Level Redirect (For One Contract)
Use a document-level redirect when different contracts need different follow-up pages—for example: service-specific onboarding, upsell pages, or scheduling instructions.
Steps
- Open Documents & Contracts.
- Create a new document or open the contract you want to edit.
- Click Settings → Document Settings.
- Enable Redirection to custom URL (or similar wording).
- Paste the destination URL (use
https://and remove extra spaces). - Choose same tab or new tab.
- Save the document (or save + send).
Best practice: Keep a simple naming convention for your redirect destinations
(e.g., /thank-you, /onboarding, /schedule) so it’s easy to confirm which
page should open after signing.
3) Global vs. Document Redirect Priority (What Wins?)
If both a global redirect and a document-level redirect exist, most configurations prioritize the document-level redirect for that specific contract.
- Global redirect: One destination for all signed documents.
- Document redirect: A custom destination for one contract.
- Typical behavior: Document redirect overrides global for that contract.
Example: You set a global redirect to your client portal, but one specific contract redirects to an upsell page. That contract will usually send signers to the upsell page instead of the portal.
4) Troubleshoot: Global Redirect Not Working
If your global redirect doesn’t fire, it’s usually a toggle, URL formatting, or override issue.
Checklist
- Feature toggle: Confirm the global redirect option is enabled under Settings → Labs.
- Valid URL: Ensure it starts with
https://and contains no trailing spaces. - Override check: Confirm the contract you tested does not have a document-level redirect configured.
- Fresh test: Send a brand-new test contract and sign it to confirm behavior.
- Browser test: Use an incognito/private window to rule out caching or session quirks.
Quick isolation test: Temporarily disable document-level redirects on the contract you’re testing. If the global redirect starts working, you’ve confirmed an override conflict.
5) Troubleshoot: Document-Level Redirect Not Working
If a document-specific URL isn’t firing, focus on URL validity, toggle status, and saving the document after changes.
Checklist
- Toggle enabled: In Document Settings, confirm redirection is turned on.
- URL format: Use a complete URL starting with
https://and remove extra spaces. - Save the document: After updates, click Save before testing.
- Test a fresh copy: Send a new version of the document and sign it again.
- Try a different destination: Temporarily redirect to a simple page you control to rule out destination issues.
Pro tip: If your redirect destination has strict security rules (logins, tokenized URLs, blocked referrers), try redirecting to a basic public thank-you page first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enable a global redirect after any document is signed?
Go to Settings → Labs (or your account’s document feature settings), enable the redirect option, paste your global URL (https://), choose same-tab or new-tab behavior, and save.
How do I set a custom URL for just one document?
Open the document in Documents & Contracts, go to Document Settings, enable redirection, paste the URL, choose tab behavior, and save.
Which redirect takes priority: global or document-level?
In most configurations, the document-level redirect overrides the global redirect for that specific contract.
Why am I not being redirected after signing?
Confirm the redirect setting is enabled, the URL is valid (https://), and check whether a document-level redirect is overriding the global URL. Test again using a new document and an incognito/private browser window.
Can I send signers into onboarding or upsell funnels?
Yes. Redirect destinations can be onboarding pages, scheduling links, client portals, or upsell/thank-you funnels—global for one flow or document-level for unique flows.
