Javascript in Formula URL Help

From other posts I was able to put together the following code for a Formula URL button.  This accomplishes the main actions of calling a 3rd party REST API and then reloading the current page.    ...

For the first one is straight forward, below is the timeout function, i use a fat arrow function with no input, and call location.reload(true) after 2 seconds or 2000 milliseconds.

setTimeout(()=> location.reload(true),2000)

    Josh- thanks for the reply.   A small change- if instead of doing a reload of a page I want to redirect the user to a different quickbase page... what would the full syntax be?  currently I have

    var text URL= "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/XXXXXXXXXXX="; 

    "javascript:" &
    "$.get('" & 
    $URL & 
    "',function(){" &
    "setTimeout(()=> location.reload(true),5000)  " &
    "});" 
    & "void(0);"
