User1675715288202759510 (Customer) asked a question.
Our users are authorized to only one application on Okta. So, under all circumstances, we would like the users to be redirected directly to the application instead of showing them the landing page with only one app to choose.
To activate new users, our application (not Okta) sends the activation email to users, and so we are able to avoid the Okta landing page and get the user redirected directly back to our application after successful activation.
However, in the "Forgot Password" scenario, Okta sends the email with instructions to reset the password. So, after a successful password reset, the user gets redirected to the Okta landing page and not to our application!
As there are multiple applications registered on our Okta tenant, we cannot customize the Forgot Password email template to include fromURI targeting just one of the applications as suggested in the article here: https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/How-To-Redirect-Users-To-a-Different-Page-After-a-Successful-Password-Reset
Is there a way to avoid sending a user to the Okta Landing Page under any circumstance?

Hi Laura,
Thank you for the response. The article you've linked is helpful.
Have a follow-up question. For scenarios like "Forgot Password", where we do not have control to send custom emails through application, where we won't be able to specific the fromURI, is there a way to avoid the landing page after a successful password reset?
Thank you.
Look at the Default App for Signin Widget

It's a standard use case. I've used this alot.
