Formtrack

Automatically inject UTM parameters into your HTML form submissions.

Sponsored by Formspark, the simple & powerful form solution for developers.

About

Marketers use UTM parameters to track the effectiveness of online campaigns across traffic sources and publishing media. The parameters identify the campaign that refers traffic to a specific website, and can be parsed by analytics tools and used to populate reports.

Copying these parameters and injecting them into your form submissions manually is tedious and error-prone, we built Formtrack to automate this integration.

Installation & usage

Add the Formtrack script.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@formspark/formtrack" async></script>

Add a data-formtrack attribute to your form element.

<form action="https://submit-form.com" data-formtrack>
  <input type="text" name="message" />
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Formtrack will now automatically inject the supported parameters into your HTML form submissions.

Supported parameters

referrer	Identifies which site sent the traffic, not an official parameter.	referrer=producthunt
