# Finishers: post-submission actions for forms {#concepts-finishers}

When a form has been submitted in TYPO3, finishers decide what happens
next - sending an email, redirecting to another page, or showing a
confirmation message. This page gives you a quick tour of built-in finishers.
For more details, see [Finisher Options](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-form:apireference-finisheroptions@14.3).

There is also a dedicated chapter on
[translations of finisher options](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-form:concepts-frontendrendering-translation-finishers@14.3).

## Finisher execution order {#concepts-finishers-execution-order}

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Finishers are executed in the order that is defined in your form definition. The
> [Redirect finisher](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-form:concepts-finishers-redirectfinisher@14.3)
> terminates all finishers.

If you are using the [redirect finisher](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-form:concepts-finishers-redirectfinisher@14.3), make sure it is the last finisher
that is executed. The redirect finisher stops the
execution of all subsequent finishers in order to perform a redirect. Finishers
that are defined after a redirect finisher will be ignored.
