<p>If you're using the Pixel &amp; Tonic Contact Form plugin then there is a way to set your redirect using <code>{{ redirectInput('contact/thanks') }}</code> as seen here: <a href="https://github.com/craftcms/contact-form" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/craftcms/contact-form</a></p>

<p>However, I've just noticed you've tagged this question with <code>plugin-sproutseo</code>, but I'm not aware of that plugin interacting with contact forms in any way.</p>

<p>To more specifically try to answer your question, firstly to redirect and pass some information, I have used query params before so I've set my redirect link to be <code>/thankyou?name={{ formstuff.name }}</code> so I can access the user's name with:</p>

<pre><code>{% set name = craft.app.request.getParam('name') %}
</code></pre>

<p>Now when it comes to redirecting back to the user's previous page, have a read of this answer below.

Hello Dave. You've tagged this question with `sprout-seo` but your questions sounds like a more general form question. Sprout SEO can help you manage general redirects for pages that change URLs on your site, but redirecting on success or errors in forms should be handled within the form workflow itself. Can you update your question to be more specific about how you have built and are submitting your form? Is this a Craft Front End Form? Is the controller you mention a custom controller that you wrote? Any code examples about how you are currently trying to handle redirects?
