This is how you can achieve that. Just do this in the controller method where you want to detect the previous route name from which came the request.

        $url = url()->previous();

        $route = app('router')->getRoutes($url)->match(app('request')->create($url))->getName();
        
        if($route == 'route name here') {
            return redirect()->back(); //example
        }

        return view('users.index'); //example
