# Control a Flow’s Finish Behavior by Wrapping the Flow in a Custom Aura Component

By default, when a flow user clicks **Finish**, a new interview starts and the user sees the first screen of the flow again. By embedding a flow in a custom Aura component, you can shape what happens when the flow finishes by using the `onstatuschange` action. To redirect to another page, use one of the `force:navigateTo`\* events such as `force:navigateToObjectHome` or `force:navigateToUrl`.

:::tip
To control a flow’s finish behavior at design time, make your custom Aura component available as a flow action by using the `lightning:availableForFlowActions` interface. To control what happens when an autolaunched flow finishes, check for the `FINISHED_SCREEN` status.
:::

```nolang
<aura:component access="global">
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.init}" />
    <lightning:flow aura:id="flowData" onstatuschange="{!c.handleStatusChange}" />
</aura:component>
```

```javascript
// init function here
handleStatusChange : function (component, event) {
   if(event.getParam("status") === "FINISHED") {
        // Redirect to another page in Salesforce, or
        // Redirect to a page outside of Salesforce, or
        // Show a toast, or...
    }
}
```

In this example, the function redirects the user to a case created in the flow by using the `force:navigateToSObject` event.

```javascript
handleStatusChange : function (component, event) {
   if(event.getParam("status") === "FINISHED") {
      var outputVariables = event.getParam("outputVariables");
      var outputVar;
      for(var i = 0; i < outputVariables.length; i++) {
         outputVar = outputVariables[i];
         if(outputVar.name === "redirect") {
            var urlEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToSObject");
            urlEvent.setParams({
               "recordId": outputVar.value,
               "isredirect": "true"
            });
            urlEvent.fire();
         }
      }
   }
}
```
