Automatically Redirecting to a Page

Inside a button click handler, I'm creating a new web page like so:

var page = SitesApp.getPageByUrl(url).createPageFromTemplate(title, name, template);

and I want to redirect the user automatically to that page.

I wasn't able to find much information, can this be done?

Corey G's answer worked for me, but the problem is that the web page that I was redirecting was embedded into an iframe in the response of the GAS, so the real URL in the web browser was the script's one.

This is what actually worked for me:

function doGet() {
  return HtmlService.createHtmlOutput(
    "<script>window.top.location.href='https://example.com';</script>"
  );
}

This similar Q/A helped me to solve it.

Hope it helps.
