Add hidden fields to Web Forms to collect campaign UTM tracking source parameters
So we can accurately assess what campaign / source the lead came from.

@Matt Ellis that's a cool idea 🚀 I'll pass it on to the team working on web forms. I don't think we're working on something like this currently, but who knows in the future!

This. I'm trialing the web visitors feature right now, but it's really not that useful because it doesn't read UTM values. We send out emails, the recipient clicks a link in the email which has their e-mail address in it as a parameter, so our website can use that to identify who the visitor is. Anonymous company data about who is visiting your site is a lot less useful than know exactly which person at the company you emailed is viewing your site. I think you guys are halfway there. You get to where I can see the UTM parameters for any visitor that has them matched with any data enrichment you do, then please take my money.

Thanks for the feedback @Jon Matthews passing it on to the team, hopefully we can work on that in the future!

What also would be nice if you can somehow access these arguments when you're presenting a user with a redirect url or thanks-message. That would DRY up my forms a lot.

Are there any developments in adding custom forms or automatic GCLID UTM capture on webforms?

Hi @Matt Zakaras this is currently not in the plans unfortunately. I'll pass on the suggestion to our team though!

Unfortunately, this is not a "cool idea" but a requirement. Sorry, just the way it is. Product management failure here.

The forms are via iFrame. This will be hard to implement without a bit of nasty javascript code.

So you can't identify anything about where the submitted form came from at all? As someone above mentioned, messing around with nasty JS code to modify the content of an iframe is most definitely not the way to go.

I will have to second Robert that this is crucial. For serious use cases you can't just have a web form and not be able to identify anything about it on your end, nor tell where it came from, nor send any info over.

Yes not being able to read into Pipedrive where you leads came from is a serious drawback.

As a temp solution, would it be possible to add fields that can be hidden in the webform, that way we can pre-populate the fields and map the utm parameters to custom pipedrive fields on submit. Then create multiple webforms based on each campaign, for example a 3 part email series, would have a different url for each for the CTA.
I know it's not ideal, but even having the hidden field option is pretty standard.0 -
This thread is year old. Is there any reliable solution for tracking campaign source (UTMs) already?

+1 to this. Hopefully this gets implemented soon.

I believe you can do this if you use forms (on non-pipedrive) external platforms which then link to pipedrive through webhooks.

Web Forms is absolutely useless feature without UTM capturing

It is 2 years and this key feature is still missing. There is no value in having web-to-lead forms, when you cannot track the utm parameters.
I found out with salesforce it is easily possible to atm custom fields to the form so that you can have utm tracking so we have to switch to that.

Please please add this! It's 2023 and people have been asking for this for years. We use an external form tool (there are tons of them that all have this feature), and then connect with Zapier to Pipedrive, but the Zap breaks every so often and we have to fix it and lose valuable data in between. It would be so much easier if there was just some way to track UTM data in a Pipedrive form. Short of that - is there any recommended external form tool that has a good integration with Pipedrive? We have tried Gravity forms and Jot forms and , as I mentioned, have had issues with the integration via Zapier breaking.
