How to use render and redirect together in rails?

My controller has before action event which check for some parameter based on the redirects to the method

before_action :call_method

def call_method
  redirect_to action: process_it, status: 302, params: request.query_parameters and return if params[:navigate]
end

def process_it
  render json: {success:'activity recorded'} and return
end

Getting error Render and/or redirect were called multiple times in this action. Please note that you may only call render OR redirect, and at most once per action. Also note that neither redirect nor render terminate execution of the action, so if you want to exit an action after redirecting, you need to do something like "redirect_to(...) and return"

Wanted this {success:'activity recorded'} to be printed

What wrong i am doing here

redirect_to action: process_it ... - try action name symbol :process_it instead of calling the method

Because you call before_action for every request, also for process_it. Add except section to before_action:

before_action :call_method, except: :process_it
