API Link Redirect Not Working

Hello: I'm working on an approval management app that will send a link out via email, that a non-QuickBase user can click on to change the status of a status field, then redirect to a thank you page. I've done this at a former company, but couldn't locate anything with the same use case.

I got the link working where the status will update, however, it won't redirect to a thank you page I have setup. Here's the link that would display in the email:

https://company.quickbase.com/db/btj2wrtev?a=API_EditRecord&rid=1&_fid_8=Approved&apptoken=xxx&rdr=https://company.quickbase.com/db/btj2wq5eb?a=Showpage&pageID=5

The link will open the XML page with a success, but it doesn't redirect to my thank you page. I've tried dozens of variations, but unfortunately, did not get it to work correctly.

try this

var text Approve = "https://company.quickbase.com/db/btj2wrtev?a=API_EditRecord&rid=1&_fid_8=Approved&apptoken=xxx";

var text ShowDashboard = "https://company.quickbase.com/db/btj2wq5eb?a=Showpage&pageID=5";

$Approve

& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($ShowDashboard)
