When you redirect in nginX you would use one of 302, 301 code like the below code:

location = /singup {
     return 302 https://docs.google.com/forms;
 }

But there is tiny tip here that needs to be told. If you want to pass parameter to the destination link, which in here is https:// docs.google.com/forms it wont work. String parameters are being held in $args varaible in nginX so you need to pass this variable like the following code:

location = /singup {
     return 302 https://docs.google.com/forms$is_args$args;
 }

The variable $is_args value will be set to "?" if a request line has arguments, or an empty string otherwise.
