Passing through UTM data from LP to TF (non-embedded)

HI, 

 

We are looking to pass traffic source / medium / campaign data from our landing page (where it tracks acurately) to our TF URL that sits on a subdomain, so that we can split out form completions etc. by traffic source - currently tracking traffic on the TF URL shows as ‘direct’

 

I realise similar questions have been asked several times here but it seems they tend to focus on situations where the tyepforms have been embedded rather than living on a separate URL. e.g. in this answer “Passing UTM across landing page and then to TF” the eventual solution was to embed the forms and in this answer “How to see the traffic source of conversions” again the typeform is embedded

 

I’m wondering if there’s a simple way that our source / medium / campaign data (nearly all of which is facebook / cpc, google / cpc, google organic, facebook / referral - can be passed into the typeform - I do have utm tracking activated for the typeforms - they currently show up as blank as I assume the utm data gets ‘lost’ when clicking from the landing page to the typeform URL. We are on a wordpress site.

 

Any ideas much appreciated

 

Thanks!

Hi @olesia You would need to have the form embedded on the page in order to pass in the hidden fields/UTM information easily. 

Otherwise, you would need to create a code that can capture that data and input it into the URL.
