hello,

i am trying to implement a smart action that has a form and takes some data from the user and then redirects to a different page on submission but the redirection does not work properly.

i get redirected to a page like the one below

Hey @huss,

Could you please try with an `https` url ?  
Plus does it open a new tab or is it opening in the current tab ?

- and the page opens up in a new window completely.

Could you share a video reproducing this error ?

i apologize, i just realized i had the “download” property for the smart action set to true  
i removed that flag and now it works fine.

Than you!
