Depending on your subscription level this may or may not work for you.

If you go to the Analytics Tools under the Reports tab then hit traffic analytics you'll see a graph/chart. You can change the metric (I think sessions is what you'd want) and then if you click on the referral label in the table underneath it will breakdown where they came from. You can also go directly to a contact/customer from each site listed.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hey @Abhihegde

I think I can help you out here. I use this method on several forms of my own and for my clients. This post talks about adding the various utm fields as hidden to the forms you'd need and they should prepopulate correctly with the source information.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Brayntworks for your suggestion. We are in the process of adding hidden fields in the form to capture UTM parameters. The link that you shared will definetly help us implement that. thanks again for sharing the information and your help.

Regards,

Abhishek

HubSpot Original Source data is also stored in each Contact record whether or not the referrer uses UTM parameters.
