            Test External Redirections

            After you update your Trusted URLs for Redirects allowlist, verify that the corresponding redirections are allowed.

            Tip
            Tip If a redirection fails after you add the base URL to the Trusted URLs for Redirects allowlist, check the blocked URL string for malformation or other issues, such as a typo in the string.
            1. If you know the action or link that redirects users to an allowed URL, initiate the redirection from within Salesforce.
            2. To test multiple URLs in succession, you can test the redirection from your browser.
              1. Log in to Salesforce.
              2. In the browser address bar, delete the URL path: the characters after the first forward slash (/).
              3. Replace the path by entering this string: ?startURL=targetUrl.

              If the redirection is allowed, you’re redirected to targetUrl. If the redirection is blocked, you get an Invalid Page Redirection error.

              Here’s an example of an Invalid Page Redirection error.

              Invalid page redirection error
            Testing Example
            Testing Example

            To allow redirections from production to sites in your sandbox, you added https://mycompany--uat.sandbox.my.site.com to your Trusted URLs for Redirects allowlist in production. You also decided not to allow redirections from your production org to files in that sandbox, which are hosted on this URL: https://mycompany--uat.sandbox.file.force.com

            After you log in to your production org, the browser address bar contains this URL: https://mycompany.lightning.force.com/lightning/page/home.

            To test redirections to the allowed sandbox site URL, you delete lightning/page/home from the URL in the browser bar and replace it with ?startURL=https://mycompany--uat.sandbox.my.site.com. The new URL is https://mycompany.lightning.force.com/?startURL=https://mycompany--uat.sandbox.my.site.com. Because the target URL is on the allowlist, when you press Enter, you’re redirected to the sandbox site.

            To test redirections to the blocked sandbox content URL, you modify the URL in the browser address bar to https://mycompany.lightning.force.com/?startURL=https://mycompany--uat.sandbox.file.force.com. Because the target URL isn’t on the allowlist, when you hit Enter, you get an Invalid Page Redirection error.
