Administrators can redirect users to a specific landing page after activating an Okta user account by modifying the User Activation email template and adding the redirect URL as a Trusted Origin.

• Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
• Okta Classic Engine
• Custom Email Template
• User Activation
• Trusted Origins

How is a user redirected to a different landing page after activation?

Modify the User Activation email template with the appropriate expression format for the tenant version and configure the redirect URL as a Trusted Origin.

1. Log in to the Admin Console.
2. Navigate to the User Activation email template based on the Multibrand Customization feature status.
   • If the Multibrand Customization feature is enabled, navigate to Customizations > Brands, select the brand targeted for the change, and choose Emails > User Activation.
   • If the feature is not enabled, navigate to Customizations > Branding > Emails > User Activation.
3. Edit the default email template and add the correct expression format for the tenant version.
   • Okta Classic Engine:

href=${activationLink}?fromURI=https://<domain>.com/pathHere

• • Okta Identity Engine:

href=${activationLink}&fromURI=https://<domain>.com/pathHere

The following image displays the edited email template for Okta Identity Engine.

4. Save the changes.
5. Navigate to Security > API > Trusted Origins and select Add Origin.
6. Add the redirect URL to the Origin URL field, select the Redirect checkbox, and select Save.

The following image displays the configuration for adding a redirect URL as a Trusted Origin.

NOTE: If the "&" mark does not function correctly in Okta Identity Engine, the "?" mark functions as an alternative depending on the organization's features.
