URL Redirect UI/UX Revamp! | Clixio Changelog
We’ve launched a revamped URL Redirect interface with an improved, intuitive user experience, making it easier to set up and manage 301 redirects. This update also introduces support for full domain-level redirects to external domains not connected to your account.
1. Refreshed UI:
Users can now select a source domain and choose to redirect either a Specific Path or the Entire Domain using a clean, guided popup interface.
2. Smart Target Options:
For Entire Domain redirects, users can now:
- Choose from existing connected domains.
- Select a Custom Domain, allowing redirection to an external domain not previously connected.
- Upon selecting Custom Domain, a new field will appear to input a valid domain or subdomain (e.g., example.com or sub.example.com). Paths like /about are not accepted.
3. Target Destination Options:
Redirects can point to:
- Custom URL (for specific paths)
- Funnel Step
- Website Page
4. Live Previews:
Dynamic previews help users understand how their redirect will behave.
5. Edit Flow:
After creation, only the target values can be edited—source configuration is locked to prevent accidental changes.
6. Validation & Error Handling:
Inline validations catch invalid URLs, duplicate redirects, and unsupported formats in real-time.
Teams now have the flexibility to redirect entire domains to external destinations without needing to add them to the platform. The improved flow, live previews, and smart defaults reduce errors and confusion, while the streamlined setup saves time and removes the need for developer involvement.
All existing redirects will continue to work as they do today. This update is available to all accounts by default and does not require any manual enablement.
