Getting field value on form submit

gabrielnoal — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 18:54:52 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a dynamic redirect on base one of my form fields.

I already look for a lot of ways of do that and I find out it would be posible if I add a event listener when form submit to get my field value and redirect my user to one page or another.

I find this link (https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Getting-form-field-on-form-submit/m-p/316974 and many others that people sugest to use:

<script>
	hbspt.forms.create({
		portalId: "my_portal_id",
		formId: "my_form_id",
		onFormSubmit: function($form){
			if($('input[value="my_field_name"]').val() === 'No'){
				callStripe();
			}
		}
	});
</script>

But it look's like this is for add embeded code to my web site and this is not what I want.

I already tried to code something like that in the form module.js and it doesn't work.

const logSubmit = (event) => {
  console.log(event)
  event.preventDefault();
}

window.addEventListener('submit', logSubmit);

It look likes this runs before the form is rendered.

I need something that I can add at my module.html or module.js that get the form values and redirect the user to the correct page after submits.

hi there can you share the code you are trying to run? I've used the provided example and I was able to create a redirection after form submission. But make sure in your form configuration you have only a message and not a redirect. I would recommend showing a message and adding a spinner with a timeout to trigger the redirection.

Hi @prosa ,

I already tried a lot of ways and any of those worked for me.

I'm used to work with ReactJs and I tried to add a event listener on form submit and add a log to see if it works, but it never logs. Also I tried to get the element by name, id, tag but all of those returns a empty array. It looks like the code runs before the form is rendered.

This is my last try.

My module.html

{% if module.title is truthy %}
	{% set no_title = False %}
{% else %} 
	{% set no_title = True %}
{% endif %}
 
{% if module.form.form_id %}
	{% form
    form_key='{{ name }}',
    form_to_use='{{ module.form.form_id }}',
    title='{{ module.title }}',
    no_title='{{ no_title }}',
    follow_up_type_simple='{{ module.follow_up_type_simple }}',
    simple_email_for_live_id='{{ module.simple_email_for_live_id }}',
    follow_up_type_automation='{{ module.follow_up_type_automation }}',
    form_follow_ups_workflow_id='{{ module.form_follow_ups_workflow_id }}',
    response_response_type='{{ module.form.response_type }}',
    response_redirect_id='{{ module.form.redirect_id }}',
    response_redirect_url='{{ module.form.redirect_url }}',
    response_message='{{ module.form.message }}',
    notifications_are_overridden='{{ module.notifications_are_overridden }}',
    notifications_override_email_addresses='{{ module.notifications_override_email_addresses }}'
    gotowebinar_webinar_key='{{ module.form.gotowebinar_webinar_key }}'
    sfdc_campaign='{{ module.sfdc_campaign }}'
	%}
{% else %}
	{% form
    title='{{ module.title }}',
    no_title='{{ no_title }}',
  %}
{% endif %}

My mudule.js

const logSubmit = (event) => {
  console.log(event)
  console.log("REDIRECT")
}

window.addEventListener('submit', logSubmit)

Try adding a listener for 'message' and check if it is the HubSpot onFormSubmit event:

window.addEventListener('message', function (event) {
  if (event.data.type === 'hsFormCallback' && event.data.eventName === 'onFormSubmit') {
    console.log('onFormSubmit');
  }
});

Hi @BenSBM ,
Thank you for your answer and sorry for the delay to answer.

But how can I check the event using Hubspot Landing Page?
Because I could check the event of onFormSubmit if i took the embeded code and paste on my website but i'm using hubspot landing pages.

Hi @gabrielnoal

That javascript snippet should work on any site, whether it is a HubSpot website or landing page, or on a third party service. It adds a listener for when a HubSpot form is submitted and is independent of being on a landing page.

I set up a quick test in my portal, and added a form module and made sure it was set to "Display an inline thank you message". I then created a test page in HubSpot, and upon submit the eventListener previously posted printed a message to the console. The same worked in a custom module with a form field.

window.addEventListener('message', function (event) {
  if (event.data.type === 'hsFormCallback' && event.data.eventName === 'onFormSubmit') {
    /* print to the console on submit, or add in custom redirect in here */
    console.log('onFormSubmit');
  }
});
