Redirecting Many Links to 1 Typeform and Being Able to Track at The Same Time

Hi, 

 

Would like you help on how we can direct a customer who’s scanned a packaging label from one of our 10 products to be redirected to 1 typeform but still able to track the source of the lead. 

 

We are in the supplement business and wondering if customers who scan: 

 

domain.com/capsules

domain.com/drink, etc 

 

are redirected to domain.com/typeform with a unique UTM code so that:

 

  1. we are able to track the source of the lead?
  2. are we able to customise that same TF depending on which URL they came from - for example the ones that came from the capsule link, would see a uniue youtube video and the ones that came from the drink - see another youtube video?

Many thanks.

Hi @aftab Happy little Friday! I hope you’re having a good one. 

What I would suggest for both of these questions is to use hidden fields. More specifically, 

  1. With the QR code they’re scanning, you could edit that URL after adding the hidden field to be something like: 

www.yourtypeform.typeform.com/to/ddasdiu?source=itemtype

  1. Then, using logic jumps, you could show different questions on the form according to the information entered into that logic jump. This article here can help walk you through setting this up. 

Hopefully this helps get you started! Also, this is a great idea - I need to steal this. 😂👀

Hey Aftab

For your first question, this is pretty simple to set up. Give each product's QR code its own destination URL with a unique UTM, something like domain.com/typeform?utm_source=capsules or domain.com/typeform?utm_source=drink (swap in whatever naming makes sense across your 10 products). As long as the QR code takes them straight to the page with your embedded Typeform, and they fill it out there without navigating elsewhere first, Typeform's built in UTM capture will grab utm_source and attach it to the submission. So you'd know exactly which product label drove each lead.

Your second question is really a page logic question rather than a Typeform one. Two ways to do it: build a separate landing page per product (each with its own video and its own embedded Typeform), or use one page with a bit of JavaScript that reads the UTM parameter from the URL and swaps out the video depending on which one it sees. The form itself doesn't need to change, just what's displayed around it.

The one gap in this setup is if someone scans the label, lands on the page, but then clicks around your site before actually filling out the form. Typeform only captures the UTM if it's still in the URL at the moment of submission, so if they wander off to another page first it gets lost. Given your QR codes go straight to the form page, that's probably not a real risk for you, but worth knowing if this flow ever gets more complex (and it can easily be solved with tools like Attributer which remember the UTMs and then pass them through with each form submission)
