A Page Redirect Rule allows a you to create and use shorter, more friendly URLs that redirect to pages.

For example: https://careers.corp.com/grads
Redirects to: http://careers.corp.com/some/page/deep/inside

There are two types of redirects: a Page Redirect and a URL Redirect.

A page redirect is where the user is routed to another regular page on their careers website.

A URL redirect is where the user enters a Clinch URL and is redirected to any web URL.
