When using Advanced Forms Pro to create posts, you may need to redirect to a custom URL and pass the ID of the new post along with the redirect. You may do this by using the af/form/editing/post_created hook and overriding the redirect URL set in the form args on the submission as per the following example.

add_action( 'af/form/editing/post_created', function ( $post, $form, $args ) {
  // If we aren't handling the desired form, return early.
  if ( $form['key'] !== 'FORM_KEY_HERE' ) {
    return;
  }
  
  // Override the redirect URL for this submission using the post ID.
  AF()->submission['args']['redirect'] = 'https://example.com?post=' . $post->ID;
  
}, 10, 3 );
