When you initialize a login flow in Ory (e.g., by calling `/self-service/login/browser?return_to=https://myapp.com/protected`), the URL you want the user to be redirected to after a successful login is passed as the

return_to

query parameter. This value is then stored in the flow object. In the flow object, the property you are looking for is

return_to

. This property tells you where the user should be redirected after a successful login. If you want to create a link or button that takes the user back to the page they visited before being redirected to the login page, you should use the value of

flow.return_to

. Here’s how it works: - When you create the login flow, include the

return_to

parameter with the URL of the page the user was originally trying to access. - The flow object returned by Ory will contain a

return_to

property with this URL. - After a successful login, Ory will redirect the user to the URL specified in

return_to

. - If you want to create a manual link (e.g., "Back to previous page"), use the value of

flow.return_to

for the link’s destination. Example:

js const returnTo = flow.return_to // Use returnTo as the href for your "Back" link or button

Important: - The

return_to

URL must be allow-listed in your Ory configuration to prevent open redirect attacks. - If the

return_to

property is not set, Ory will use the default redirect URL configured for your project.
