Can I Configure a Custom Redirect URL for the Approval Button in the Send and Wait for Response Email Node?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm trying to modify the behavior of the approval button in the Send and Wait for Response Email Node. Specifically, I want to redirect users to a different webpage than the default after they approve an email.

I've checked the node's settings, and while it allows customization of labels and styles, there doesn't appear to be an option to change the redirect URL. Is there any workaround or setting I may have overlooked to achieve this?

Any help or suggestions on how to proceed (or alternative approaches for custom redirection) would be appreciated.

Based on the available documentation for the Send and Wait for Approval operation in the Gmail node, there isn’t an option to customize the redirect URL for the approval button. The node’s configuration allows you to set the approval/disapproval labels and styles, but the behavior on click—namely, the redirection—is fixed and cannot be altered to point to an external webpage.

For scenarios that require custom redirection or more complex interaction flows after approval, you might consider using alternative approaches such as:

Incorporating a Form Trigger node in combination with a custom approval workflow.
Using the Wait node for more complex approvals where you can control the subsequent steps.

At this time, however, the Send and Wait for Approval operation does not offer a parameter to redirect users to a different webpage than the default.
