How to redirect to a specific page after customer account activation?

[ShowcaseDeckBox]

How can i change where the customers/activate_account form redirects after submitting passwords in the form? 

Current User Flow: 

• user is sent an account invite email from Admin
• navigates to the store.account/activate/xxxxx
• fills in password and confirms password
• clicks ACTIVATE ACCOUNT button
• user is directed to their account page i.e. store.com/account   <---------  I would like to change this to redirect to another page on the store such as: store.com/pages/page-name

Hello @ShowcaseDeckBox ,

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Online Store -> Theme -> Edit code

2) Edit activate_account.liquid you can find this file under templates.
Add this code at the top of the file

{% if customer %}
  <script type="text/javascript">
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
      window.location.href = "/your-redirect-url";
    });
  </script>
{% endif %}

Note: Change /your-redirect-url with the actual page you have.

Thanks

You should find in your liquid code where the form is rendered, for example,
for Dawn -- https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/sections/main-activate-account.liquid#L32 and add a
return_to parameter (https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/form#form-return_to)

 {%- assign next_page = routes.root | append: "pages/page_handle" -%}
 {%- form 'activate_customer_password', return_to: next_page -%}

In case your theme submits this form with JS, you'd need to modify the JS code, but need to know the theme name to suggest anything.

Thank you all who replied. I found an alternative workflow, therefor I no longer need this answered. Maybe this will help someone else looking. Thanks again!
