> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

## Set up an automated response

Follow the steps below to see which automatic responses you can set up in Xperience:

1. Locate your form on a page in a website channel. In our case, we'll be working in the **Personal Banking** channel on Kbank.

2. Open the page for edits with the **Edit page** button and navigate to the widget that contains your form.

3. Use the **Configure section** button () to open the form properties.

4. In the **After form submission** section, choose what should happen after someone submits the form:
   1. **Display a message** - displays this message directly on the page after the visitor has submitted a form.
   2. **Redirect to URL** - redirects the contact to a specific URL.
   3. **Redirect to page** - redirects the contact to a selected Xperience page.

5. Save and publish your changes.

6. If you also wish to set up an automated email (**Autoresponder**) the visitor receives after the form submission, switch to the **Forms** app.
   1. Go to your form and open the **Autoresponder** view on the right side of the form editor window.
   2. Select an existing autoresponder email in the dropdown menu, or add a custom email prepared by your developers.

## Configure redirect to a thank you page

By sending your users to a _Thank you page_, you can confirm their submission, share additional information, or guide them to relevant next steps.

Check out our interactive demo to configure a thank-you page that your users see after they submit a form.
