BOT Redirect

Use BOT Redirect to create reusable redirect destinations for bot or blocked traffic.

These redirect destinations can be selected from service configuration pages such as Smart URLs and other protection features that support custom bot redirection.

Add Bot Redirect

The Add Bot Redirect form includes:

Field	Description
Name	Friendly name for the redirect destination
URL / Domain	Destination URL or domain used for the redirect

Use a clear name so the destination is easy to recognize later from service configuration pages.

Use Case	Name Example	URL / Domain Example	Notes
Redirect blocked bots to a public landing page	Blocked Traffic Page	https://example.com/blocked	Good for a simple explanation page
Redirect bots to the main website	Main Website	https://example.com/	Useful when you do not want to show a block page
Redirect bots to a neutral search page	Search Fallback	https://www.google.com/	Useful when blocked traffic should leave the protected site
Redirect to a campaign or offer page	Campaign Redirect	https://example.com/campaign	Use only when the destination is safe for blocked traffic
Redirect using a domain-style value	Example Domain	example.com	Use a full HTTPS URL when possible for clearer behavior

Service Usage Examples

Service	Example Use
Smart URLs	Select a saved BOT Redirect destination for visitors that should not reach the final shortlink destination
Blocker	Use a redirect destination when detected bot traffic should be sent away from the protected page
Blocker V2	Use a redirect destination as part of a page response configuration for blocked bot traffic

Create A Redirect Destination

1. Open Settings > BOT Redirect.

2. Enter a name.

3. Enter the redirect URL or domain.

4. Click Add.

5. Return to the relevant service page and select the saved redirect destination.

Bot Redirect List

The list shows redirect destinations already created under the account.

Column	Description
Date Time	Time when the redirect entry was created
Name	Friendly redirect name
URL / Domain	Redirect destination
Action	Edit or remove the entry

Edit Or Remove

Use Edit when the destination URL changes. Use Remove when the redirect destination is no longer used.

Before removing an entry, check whether it is still selected in Smart URLs, Blocker, or Blocker V2 configurations.

Best Practices

• Use HTTPS redirect destinations when possible.

• Avoid redirecting blocked traffic to sensitive internal pages.

• Keep names short and descriptive.

• Review redirect destinations after changing service rules.
