Redirect to submit page of current form

Redirect to the submit page of a current form after sending an email.

Overview

The form blocks direct access to the submit event to prevent spam, causing a redirect to the form.load page instead.
Use the Loop action in Chronoforms 7 to repeat the process without redirecting to the submit event.

I have a form which I migrated from Chronoforms 5 to Chronoforms 7.  It sends personalized emails to a list of recipients.  After sending the first one, it needs to redirect to the same submit form to print the next one, and so on until the list is completed.  In CF5 I used the Event Loop action to accomplish this.  In the CF7 form, I have a redirect at the end of the submit page that directs it to the form.submit page again, but when I run it, it generates the first email and then goes to the form.load page instead.  Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi nlheath

Yes, the form protects direct access to the submit event in order to block spam, you can add your email action to another page but under a different page group and that will be processed fine.

In v8 you can also do it the same way

Thanks, Max.  I have since discovered the Loop action in Chronoforms 7, which accomplishes what I was trying to do without redirecting to the submit event.
