Would you like to open a new link on form submissions when you have AJAX enabled? Using a small code snippet, we’re going to show you how you can display your confirmation message but also open a new link when the form is submitted.

By default, WPForms gives you the option of displaying a confirmation message, redirecting to a page on your site, or providing a custom URL when the form is submitted. But what if you wanted to do a combination of these options? For this tutorial, we’re going to create a form that will display a confirmation message when the form is submitted but also open a new tab and load a page that displays a PDF download as well.

## Creating the form

First, we’ll need to create our form. Our form is a simple newsletter sign-up form but we’re also going to allow them to provide any feedback comments as well so we’ll have the **Name**, **Email**, and **Paragraph Text** form fields in our form.

If you need help in creating your form, [please see this documentation](https://wpforms.com/docs/creating-first-form/ "Creating Your First Form").

Before exiting the form builder, be sure to select the **Enable AJAX form submission** on the **General** tab.

Since we will be defining the link inside the code snippet, you can leave the **Confirmations** tab **Confirmation** type to just display your confirmation message.

## Opening a new link on form submission

Now it’s time to add the snippet that will open a new link on form submissions.

If you need any help in adding snippets to your site, [please review this tutorial](https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-add-custom-php-or-javascript-for-wpforms/ "How to Add Custom PHP or JavaScript for WPForms").

This particular snippet will only work if AJAX is enabled on the form submission.

```

/**
 * Open new link on form submission with AJAX
 *
 * @link https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-open-a-new-link-on-form-submission
 */
  
function wpf_dev_event_after_submit() {
   ?>
