Redirect Only if Out of Stock

I’m not sure I understand. You have some page (not a product) and want to redirect it only if the target page (the product) doesn’t exist?

Yes
Product goes out of stock
We set the product url to draft status.
We set a redirect from the product url to the brand page url
When product comes back in stock the product page changes back from draft status to Published so we dont require the redirect.
But the redirect is still in place and the republished product is never visible.
So we want the page to redirect only if the target page (the product) doesn’t exist

Ok, but you originally said you want the redirect to happen if the target doesn’t exist. What you have just described is a redirect where the source doesn’t exist?

The source of the redirect is the product page. The target is the brand page.

If that is the case you can probably use the ‘URL and WP page type’ to redirect if it’s a 404.

Apologies for the confusion ??
Using the ‘URL and WP page type’ to redirect if it’s a 404 worked exactly as I require. Didn’t know this was possible. I had a few issues with Cloudflare but once I purged the cache all worked fine! Thank you very much for your help!
