use Ending Screen in Kiwiform

Learn how to create and customize the Ending Screen in Kiwiform, a free Typeform alternative. The Ending Screen lets you thank respondents, share next steps, add buttons, enable social sharing, or redirect users after submission. The Ending Screen is the final impression of your form. It’s where you confirm submissions, build trust, guide users forward, and increase conversions.

What is the Ending Screen?

The Ending Screen appears after a respondent submits your form. It confirms the response and allows you to:

  • Display a thank-you message

  • Add a custom call-to-action button

  • Enable social sharing

  • Redirect users to another page

  • Connect to apps or send automated messages

This is not just a “thank you” page, it’s a powerful engagement and conversion tool.


How to Add an Ending Screen

There are two ways to add an Ending Screen in Kiwiform.

Method 1: Using “Add Content”

  1. Click + Add Content

  2. Select Ending Screen

  3. The Ending Screen will appear in the Endings section of your form

This is the fastest way to insert a basic ending step.


Method 2: Using the Setup Endings Panel

  1. Scroll to the Endings section in the left sidebar

  2. Click + Add Ending

  3. Choose one of the options:

    • Ending Screen

    • Redirect to Link

    • Connect to Apps

    • Automated Message

This method gives you more control over how the form ends.


Customizing the Ending Screen

Once added, select the Ending Screen from the left panel. Then configure it using the Answer Panel on the right.

  1. Edit the Thank You Message
    You can customize:

    • Headline (e.g., “Goodbye! Thank You.”)

    • Description text

    • Optional dynamic text

    This helps you confirm submission clearly and professionally.

  1. Enable Social Sharing
    Toggle Share on Social Media ON to display social icons at the end of the form.
    When enabled:

    • Users can instantly share your form

    • You increase reach and visibility

    When disabled:

    • No social icons will appear

    Use this for campaigns, surveys, community forms, or feedback collection.

  1. Add a Call-to-Action Button

    Toggle Button ON to show a customizable button on the Ending Screen.

    You can:

    • Change button label (character limit shown)

    • Create a strong CTA (e.g., “Visit Website”, “Download Guide”, “Book a Call”)

    When disabled:

    • No button appears

    This is ideal for:

    • Driving traffic

    • Converting leads

    • Sending users to onboarding pages

  1. Set Button Redirect Link

    If the button is enabled, you can turn on Set Button Redirect Link.

    When enabled:

    • Add a URL

    • Users will be redirected after clicking the button

    When disabled:

    • The button remains static (no redirect)

    Use cases:

    • Thank-you page → Product page

    • Survey → Resource download

    • Lead form → Booking calendar


Ending Screen vs Redirect to Link

Kiwiform allows two different post-submission actions:

Ending Screen
Shows a thank-you page inside the form experience.

Redirect to Link
Automatically sends users to another website without showing a thank-you screen.

Choose based on your goal:

  • Want confirmation + CTA? → Ending Screen

  • Want instant redirection? → Redirect to Link


Common Use Cases

  • Lead generation follow-up

  • Survey completion confirmation

  • Event registration next steps

  • Course sign-up onboarding

  • Download confirmation

  • Product waitlist thank you page


Best practices

  • Keep your message short and clear

  • Add one focused CTA

  • Use redirect strategically

  • Enable social sharing for viral campaigns

  • Match tone with your brand

Your Ending Screen is an opportunity to move users forward, not just close the form.


Summary

Learn how to design a thoughtful ending screen that wraps up your form experience. Show confirmation messages, share next steps, display results, or redirect respondents after submission to leave a lasting impression.
