# Create a Redirect Rule

1. From the top navigation bar, select ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1183576591b45997efe4dc81a25024640591d02a%2F245137dc972a7a7f6165b59538fcdbac8fd5bd8fee4ba9f20c1a2982c5b58b57.svg?alt=media) **\[User profile] → Settings**.&#x20;
2. On the right, under *Technical*, select **Blocking & Redirect**.
3. In the top-right corner, select **Configure rule**.
4. Add a **Name** for your rule.
5. In the *Condition* section, use the drop-down menus to configure your redirect rule.
   * Do not select **Mobile Fallback** unless you plan to make an [app interstitial](https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/blocking-and-redirect-rules/create-app-install-interstitials).
   * View the *Conditions reference* below to learn more about the different condition attributes.
6. In the *Action*, ensure the drop-down menu is set to **Redirect**, then select the **protocol** for the redirect link, and enter the destination URL.
   * If you want to have an [interstitial web page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_webpage), ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d0b6669ae76a7bef06a8d6940d7ad5c16bb8d018%2F7cb018d4face8d7cceb880eb5086c812e764fbcfe6f2a0377f88bc7576973070.svg?alt=media) **\[Toggle on]** and configure **Use interstitial**. Ensure the *Template* drop-down menu is set to **Custom**.
7. Optionally, **Schedule** when this redirect rule will be active.
8. **Rank** the redirect rule.
   * If multiple redirect rules have the same conditions and the same **Rank**, the one with the lower **ID** will take priority.
9. If you don't want the redirect to begin immediately and you did not schedule the rule, you can **Pause** the rule.
   * You will need to manually unpause this rule for it to become active again.
10. **Save** your redirect rule.
