Hi @polsola

You should be able to do it by using the wp_redirect() function with the acf/save_post hook. But, you need to pass the ID to redirect URL like this:

function my_acf_redirect_after_save( $post_id ) {
    
    // Only do it for "custom_post" post type
    if( get_post_type($post_id) != 'custom_post' ){
		return;
	}
	
	// Only do it on the front end
	if( is_admin() ){
		return;
	}
    
    wp_redirect( 'https://example.com/thank/you/page/?postid=' . $post_id );

}

// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_redirect_after_save', 99);

Then you can get the ID on the thank you page like this:

$post_id = $GET['postid'];

I hope this helps 🙂
