Power Pages – Redirect users after login based on email domain

Hello everyone,

I’m working with Power Pages and I’m trying to redirect users to different pages after login, based on their email domain.
Scenario

The Home Page Partial URL is set to / (as required by Power Pages).
I have created separate pages such as:
- /Samsung
- /Test
- etc.
Users sign in using username and password, not email.
However, each user account is linked to an email address, for example:
- sam3311@samsung.com
- john123@test.com
Each domain has multiple users, and I may have around 5 different domains, each needing to redirect to a specific page.

What I tried

I added the following script at the top of the Home page, before the HTML:
<script>
window.location.href = "/Samsung";
</script>

Issues

After signing in, users are redirected correctly to /Samsung.
However, when the user later clicks on “Home”, it always redirects back to /Samsung.
This means the Home page (/) is no longer accessible.

What I want to achieve

Keep the Home page Partial URL as /.
Redirect users only after login, based on their email domain:
- @samsung.com → /Samsung
- @test.com → /Test
- etc.
Allow users to access the Home page normally when clicking “Home”.
Implement a domain-based redirect logic that works even though users log in using username/password.

Question

Detect the logged-in user’s email domain
Redirect them after login to a domain-specific page
Without breaking access to the Home page (/)?

Any guidance or best practice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

If it is stored against the contact (e.g. either inviting the contact to use the system or it is set as a mandatory field during registration/profile) getting the users email address is the easy bit - use the Liquid 'user' object (which is the users Contact record) so something like {{ users.emailaddress1 }}

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/liquid-objects#user

You can set to a JavaScript variable (and then extract the domain with JavaScript)

<script>
  var theEmail = {{ users.emailaddress1 }};

</script>

You could extract the domain from the contacts email in Liquid by using a split on the at symbol (and then putting the result into a JavaScript variable)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/liquid-filters#split

The issue is the redirect as you only want it on the first time, and there isn't any standard way of detecting this (and the only way to redirect is in JavaScript). One thing you can do is make use of javascript local storage - e.g. check for a local storage variable if not present create it & then JS redirect, if not present no redirect. Check for the local storage inside a Liquid if that checks for the 'user' object existence

{% if user %}

  <script>
    // check for local storage variable
    // if not found create it & then JS redirect
  </script>
 
{% endif %}

Depending on what you are doing you may put this type of code in the Web Page in question or the Header or Footer Web Template

Note: the local storage will exist while the browser is open, i.e. it won't clear if they manually sign out - if this is an issue - you can clear it when the 'user' object does not exist ('user' only exists when the user is logged in), basically do an Liquid if user as above but add an {% else %} for when the user is logged out. If taking this approach you may choose to put it in the header/footer web template so it happens on any page if the user is signed out.

Note2: if putting in the Header/Footer you will probably need to turn off the header/footer caching or wrap the code in a substitution block (other wise it will not re-evaluate on each page load)
