Redirect to Cloudpage using Page ID on a Lookup script

Question

Hi All,

I would like to request assistance on how I can redirect to a page using the CloudPagesURL value on a Lookup script?

I'm not sure if my code here is correct?
%%=Redirect('%%=CloudPagesURL(400)=%%')=%%

    Var @STATUS, @EMAIL, @AGENT_NAME
    Set @EMAIL= RequestParameter ('EMAIL')
    Set @AGENT_NAME= RequestParameter ('AGENT_NAME')
    
    SET @STATUS = Lookup('MYDATA', 'FLAG', 'EMAIL', @EMAIL)
    IF @Status == "Yes" THEN
    %%=Redirect('%%=CloudPagesURL(400)=%%')=%%
    ENDIF
    ]%%

Result is this:

My expected result should redirect to this page and also populating the fields:

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

you are inside an AMPScript definition block (opened by %%[ and closed by ]%%) so you do not need to (in fact, shouldn't) add the inline ampscript markings (%%= and =%%) for functions inside it.

This should be more like it (when used on a cloudpage):

%%[
IF @Status == "Yes" THEN
    Redirect(CloudPagesURL(400))
ENDIF
]%%

CloudpagesURL() is a function which evaluates to a string automatically, so I also removed the '' marking around it.

Note that in Emails, you have to use redirectTo(), not redirect() and here you have to place it inline or you will not be tracking the link.

Which would look like this:

%%[ IF @Status == "Yes" THEN
]%%%%=RedirectTo(CloudPagesURL(400))=%%%%[ENDIF]%%
