1. How can i add a time delay in the form code in order to be sure that Hubspot updates the property in order to create the right redirected URL
2. I tried the dynamic query string (as i saw inHS knowledge) but it didn't work neither and i've the feeling it's because of the "?" which is inside the URL.
Embedded Form submission & redirect URL based on form parameters
SOLVE
Yep I can, I actually just helped out another member of the forum with something similar.
What is the final URL format you are looking to redirect to? Also - do you have an example page with the form that I could see?
In hindsight - the serialize option works but it is admittedly a little messy. 😄
The $form argument of the onFormSubmit callback is a jQuery collection of the entire submitted HubSpot <form> element that is stored at the moment the form was submitted, and successfully validated.
That means you can dive into the collection and "cherry-pick" whatever field values you may want to use doing something like this:
var website = $form.find('input[name="website"]').val();
That would give you the isolated website field value in a separate variable you could then append to your redirect location as needed.
setTimeout( function() {
window.location = "http://www.domain.com/simulate.php?url=" + encodeURIComponent( website );
}, 500 ); // Redirects to url with query string data from form fields after 1/2 second.
You could do this infinitely - however if you need to pass/map many fields to specific query string keys - I also have a solution for that which is a bit more elegant in nature.
The var website = $form.find('input[name="website"]').val();snippet applies to the original poster's use case. The code will retrieve the form's website field value with jQuery and the rest of the code @derekcavaliero provided will append this website value to the redirect URL of http://www.domain.com/simulate.php.
If you're looking to append all the form field data to the redirect URL, go with the code in the soluton to this thread.
Be aware that you'll have to set the portalId and formId as well as change http://www.yoururl.com? to your desired redirect URL.
Many thanks for you help. Based on what you gave me and with help from a friend, I was able to get it to properly work. Here is the final working format that was successful for me.
For anyone else trying to do this, here's a quick "how-to".
Simply drop the code below into the source code (RichText/Advanced/Source Code) on a rich text block in the COS. Change out the portalId and formId to match your form. You can find both of these values by opening up your form and looking at the URL.
The short value after "forms" is your portal ID, and the longer value after "editor" is your FormID.
From there, change the input name to whatever field in your form you are refrencing. You'll change out "FieldID" to your form field. That would be "email" or "category" or whatever else you're asking in the form.
Where I have "http://websiteurl.com?email=" just change that to whatever you want in front of your passed field variable. When the redirected, it will read "http://websiteurl.com?email=FieldID" and the FieldID will be replaced with the variable from the form.
I am not sure what "emailWeb" do, but that seemed to make it work, so I am not going to change it on my end. Maybe @IsaacTakushi could speak more to that.

@JTodrick You can't implement the JavaScript inside the confirmation message box in the form settings, the code needs to be added into the actual embed code using the callbacks where the form is being used/embedded.

So I've found a work around for this, create a custom module in Hubspot and use the following code. I don't know how to link the code without screen grabbing it on here. Inset this code into the custom module, then insert the module into the page you want. This will only redirect based upon the value of one field. you can replicate the ELSE IF section of the code if there are more than 3 options.
To change the code replace where I have put in Capital letters:
NAME1 NAME2
NAME3
OPTION
These 4 above are up to you to decide and are merely for referencing for the code to work so as long as they are the same above and below then that's all that matters
WEBSITE1
WEBSITE2
WEBSITE3
These are the web addresses you want the page to re-direct to depending on selection
NAME OF DEPENDENT FIELD
Go to you form and right click on it, click inspect and find out the true name of the value you want to redirect based upon. E.g How_Much_Is_Your_Budget?
Make sure this is copied exactly how it appears in the inspector.
FIELDVALUE1 FIELDVALUE2
FIELDVALUE3
Make sure these are copied exactly how it appears in your form for the values is the field we have named above, e.g £1-£2 include the spaces if you have any in the field so it might be £1 - £2
Obviously make sure you update your portal id and form id also at the top where the XXXXX are

Hi, I'm trying this solution out now but I can't seem to pass the website URL straight into the redirect page link. Can someone assist, thank you so much!
The method outlined in this article populates HubSpot form fields from a query string before the form is submitted. You're looking to do the opposite — populate a query string with form field values after a form is submitted.
@derekcavaliero's solution in this thread allows form data to populate a redirect URL's query string (following a ?) after a predefined delay.
Per this comment in the original thread, could you clarify where you got stuck regarding "I didn't get how to use window.location ="http://www.yoururl.com?" + formData;"?
@derekcavaliero, it sounds like @Gthn also wants to pick out the website property/field specifically. Could you speak to how that might be accomplished through jQuery (as opposed to appending all form fields with var formData = $form.serialize();)? Appreciate your input!
-> Not exactly. The yoururl.com will be replaced with "http://www.domain.com/simulate.php?url= " . I'm afraid it generates a conflict because it already includes a "?". So, with the form parameter it will be a second "?".
2. could you clarify where you got stuck regarding "I didn't get how to use window.location ="http://www.yoururl.com?" + formData;"?
-> I don't know how to use the +formdata. I tried to use this kind of URL given in the article you sent me but the redirection was not working

@jkeough78 The issue you're having is that HubSpts onFormReady() local callbacks require jQuery to function (I am aware this is a bit annoying).
If you open up your JS console in chrome and submit the form you'll see the following exception being thrown:
The onFormSubmit function in hbspt.forms.create requires jQuery. It was not run.
You'd need to ensure you load jQuery - or polyfill the method HubSpot is looking for in its forms.js script to get those local callbacks to work.
There are ways to do this with the global callbacks that utilize the window.postMessage API - but it involves more custom javascript due to not having jQuery available for a better API to grab the field values easily.
Quick question for you guys. I've got no problem deploying the solution as you suggested for the email form field. The only thing problem that I'm seeing that Hubspot seems to be replacing the @ of the email address with %40

I've got your script working as intended. Thanks for this solution. That said, I am interested in cleaning up the redirect a bit. I need to pass 4-6 fields to specific query string keys. Would you mind sharing the more elegant solution that you mentioned?
You'd want to edit the queryMap variable to change what form fields map to what query string parameter. Then down in the redirect - you'd need to update the redirect location.
