### Step 3: Set Past Deadline Redirect URL

This feature redirects customers to a different page if they attempt to access an event or content after the specified deadline has passed. This ensures that users who miss the deadline are guided to a relevant page, such as an information page or an alternative event registration. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/image-5I6X8217.png)
