Hello,
I am still a bit new working with Make so still learning some of the functions.
I am building a scenario with the following logic:
- User submits a form on Webflow website.
- The system then creates a new CMS item for the user in the system and publishes it.
Those steps I have already achived, and I have the following problem:
I want to re-direct the user to the newly created page, now this is not a problem but before doing that I want to make sure the CMS item/page was actually created. I don’t really understand how or if it’s possible for create a system where it would check if the item was created before proceeding to re-direct the user. Is there a way to do it?
Best,
Welcome to the Make community!
Usually for this you wouldn’t redirect the user until you’ve received a response from the form submission webhook, which you will return the newly-created page’s link.
To do this you simply need to not use Webflow’s form redirect upon successful form submission, but you need a piece of frontend JavaScript code to submit the form and wait for a response.
In that time waiting the script could also show a progress spinner or something so that the user knows to wait for a response.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you!
Do you have an example of how a Javascript code like that would look like? Was trying to piece it together but was running into some issues.
