Redirect users to a page before a checklist starts a flow

Prev Next

You can set up a checklist task so that clicking it first sends the user to a specific page, then starts a flow on that page. Use this when the flow points at elements that only exist on one page of your app.

How do I send users to a page before a checklist task starts a flow?

For each checklist task that should do this:

  1. In the Checklist builder, select the task and open its settings.
  2. Add a Navigate action and enter the URL to send users to, for example your homepage or a specific product page.
  3. Add a second action, Start flow, and select the flow to start.

When a user clicks the task, Userflow takes them to that page first, then starts the flow once the page has loaded.

Tip: Make sure the flow's auto-start conditions fit the page you send users to. If the flow has a Current page condition, the Navigate URL should match it. See URL pattern matching.

Can I do this from somewhere other than a checklist?

Yes. You can send users to the right page from inside the flow, guide them there step by step, or set it up from the Resource Center. See How to navigate to a page when a flow starts.
