I’m currently working on a project in Webflow and I’m trying to prevent users from directly accessing a success page (like example.com/success-page ) by simply entering its URL in the browser. This page should only be accessible after a specific action is completed (e.g., form submission).
Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:
Users fill out a form (in this case created with Tally.so) and submit it.
Upon submission, they are redirected to a success page.
I want to prevent users from accessing this success page unless they have gone through the form submission process.
If anyone has experience with similar scenarios or knows any tricks and tips within Webflow to manage this, your input would be greatly appreciated.
Hi LorenzoS, I have the same question now. I reckon you must have found a solution for this since 2023 . If so, I’d appreciate If you can please share it
Generally speaking you don’t need to block access to the page, you simply remove it from the sitemap and search indexing. For static pages you can just tick the setting “remove from sitemap”, which also adds a robots noindex meta to keep it out of Google SERPs.
If you’re trying to protect your conversion tracking data, then that’s enough. though you can also create a unique transaction ID to inform service like Google Ads of valid transactions.
If you’re trying to gate content, as in “fill in the form, get your free PDF”, you can do the same. It would be tricky to “block” the page, as you’d need a reverse proxy, or I’ve done password-page hacks where on form submit, you build some script to fill in the password field and submit it. A lot of work though.
Most people just send the reward file / video / link by email after the form is submitted.
