# Confirmation Message

You can either display a custom confirmation message or redirect the contact to another URL after submission.

If you choose to display a message, you can personalise it using merge fields from the form. For Update Forms, you can also merge in database fields, though note that merged database field values will reflect what was stored in the database before the form was submitted, not the new values just entered.

Use the Insert UbiQuity Link function to add links to other forms, surveys, or events on the confirmation page. Because the contact is now in the database, you can link to an Update Form to collect additional information, or to a survey whose responses will be linked to that contact.
