Web Forms: Referal URL

RJosefs — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 19:52:11 GMT

Hi, I have an embedded form. Can I track

1) Referal URL: What website was the user on prior to my website?

2) Landing Page: What is the first webpage they visited on my site?

3) Form Page: What page did they fill out the form on?

Hi @RJosefs,

Yes, you can track all three pieces of information for an embedded form on your website.

This captures the URL of the website the user visited before landing on your site. You can capture this using JavaScript and include it as a hidden field in your form.

This captures the first page the user visits on your site. You can store this in a cookie when the user first lands on the site, and include it in the form submission.

This captures the page where the user actually fills out and submits the form. You can do this by adding the current page URL as a hidden field.

By including these hidden fields in your form, you’ll be able to track the previous page URL, the landing page, and the page on which the form was submitted.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, let's talk!

Hey @RJosefs

Technically speaking the web forms don't do any tracking. This is all handled by the HubSpot tracking code.

Once the HubSpot tracking code and HubSpot form embed code is installed on your page the HubSpot form will send the tracking code cookie to the HubSpot contact record.

Yes the analytics information will be tracked to the contact record, Have a look through HubSpot's default web analytics properties here.
