Auto-populating Hidden IP State/Region in a Form

[moty0901]

Is there a way to auto-populate the IP State/Region in a form that only our internal team can see in the email notification? We ask for zip code. Here's the form: http://offer.virnigmfg.com/request-a-quote?hsCtaTracking=cecfbcfa-9700-4809-8944-42c09566e6f5%7C1e5c...

Q: Auto-populating Hidden IP State/Region in a Form?

Short A: The IP address information you're looking for is already added (when available) to a default HubSpot contact property named 'IP address'. (see image)

Longer A:

That being said, "in some instances, HubSpot may not find a match for the geolocation properties against its databases."

-  see Why are some of my contacts missing a value for IP Country, IP State or IP City?

This is the main reason NOT to remove the self-identified zip code and country fields from your contact forms.

UPDATE

- see image

HubSpot Anonymized IP Addresses (as of 20190529)

I'm thinking it's not possible to include IP in a form since the IP is pulled after the user submits the form. Getting the IP to show up in the email notification (along with the other submitted info) is the problem.

Hi @moty0901  The default form notification is not editable at this time, so it is not possible for you to add the IP Address. If you create a workflow however to send an additional notifcation of a form submit, you can add IP Address info via personalization token. Just be sure to build a delay of about 15 minutes between submission and send, so that all the meta info populates correctly.

Thank you,
