An example that redirects the next XML instruction to another call:

<CodeBlocks>
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Response>
      <Redirect>https://www.your-application.com/next-instructions</Redirect>
  </Response>
  ```

  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
  const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

  response.redirect("https://www.your-application.com/next-instructions");
  console.log(response.toString());
  ```

  ```csharp
  using Twilio.TwiML;
  using Twilio.Http;
  using System;


  class Example
  {
      static void Main()
      {
          var response = new VoiceResponse();
          response.Redirect(new Uri("https://www.your-application.com/next-instructions"));

          Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
      }
  }
  ```

  ```python
  from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Redirect

  response = VoiceResponse()
  response.redirect('https://www.your-application.com/next-instructions')

  print(response)
  ```

  ```ruby
  require 'signalwire/sdk'

  response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
    response.redirect('https://www.your-application.com/next-instructions')
  end

  puts response.to_s
  ```
</CodeBlocks>

The `<Redirect>` verb transfers control from the current call to another. It is effectively an exit statement from the current call, as there is no way to return to any instructions listed after the `<Redirect>` verb.

## Verb attributes

The following attribute is available for the verb `<Redirect>`:

<ParamField path="method" type="string" default="POST">
  Specifies whether the redirect is a `GET` or a `POST`.
</ParamField>

## Nouns

The following item is accepted as a noun for the `<Redirect>` verb:

| Noun         | Description                                     |
| :----------- | :---------------------------------------------- |
| `plain text` | The URL, in plain text, of the call to execute. |

## Nesting

No other verbs can be nested within `<Redirect>` and you cannot nest `<Redirect>` within any other verbs.

## Examples

### Redirect to absolute URL

<CodeBlocks>
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Response>
      <Dial>310-123-0000</Dial>
      <Redirect>http://www.your-application.com/next-instructions</Redirect>
  </Response>
  ```

  ```javascript title="Node.js"
  const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
  const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

  response.dial("310-123-0000");
  response.redirect("http://www.your-application.com/next-instructions");
  console.log(response.toString());
  ```

  ```csharp
  using Twilio.TwiML;
  using System;

  class Example
  {
      static void Main()
      {
          var response = new VoiceResponse();
          response.Dial("310-123-0000");
          response.Redirect(new Uri("http://www.your-application.com/next-instructions"));

          Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
      }
  }
  ```

  ```python
  from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Dial, Redirect

  response = VoiceResponse()
  response.dial('310-123-0000')
  response.redirect('http://www.your-application.com/next-instructions')

  print(response)
  ```

  ```ruby
  require 'signalwire/sdk'

  response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
    response.dial(number: '310-123-0000')
    response.redirect('https://www.your-application.com/next-instructions')
  end

  puts response.to_s
  ```
</CodeBlocks>

SignalWire makes a request after the number has been dialed and transfers the call to the XML received through the request.
