# Redirect

The Redirect logic block allows you to redirect users to external URLs either in the current tab or
a new tab, enabling seamless integration with external services and websites.

<Warning>
  Safari and iOS devices will block a redirect in a new tab by default so a popup will be displayed
  to the user. Make sure to test your redirect logic block on these devices.
