Pop Up Embeed Form not Collecting Source

Hello,

I am creating a module in Hubspot and in the module I embed a Typeform as a pop up. However, when I am going to Hubspot, it doesn’t track the utm_source. Typeform and Hubspot are new to me, but I follow the documentation and I embed this way:

<button data-tf-popup="myID" data-tf-transitive-search-params="utm_source, utm_medium" data-tf-iframe-props="title=Quiz" data-tf-medium="snippet" data-tf-hidden="utm_source=xxxxx,utm_medium=xxxxx,hubspot_utk=xxxxx,hubspot_page_name=xxxxx,hubspot_page_url=xxxxx" style="all: unset;display: inline-block;max-width: 100%;white-space: nowrap;overflow: hidden;text-overflow: ellipsis;background-color: #ff4c2d;color: #FFFFFF;border-radius: 25px;padding: 0 33px;font-weight: bold;cursor: pointer;line-height: 50px;text-align: center; margin: 0;text-decoration: none;text-transform: uppercase;margin-top: 44px;font-size: 16px;">Take your test now</button>

<script src="//embed.typeform.com/next/embed.js"></script>

 

Is it something wrong? In the utm_source=xxxxx should I write something instead of the x’s?

ps: In the data-tf-popup I have my formID.

    Hi @Francisco Teofilo! 🙋‍♂️

    Have you enabled utm_source and utm_medium in your typeform’s UTM tracking setting?

    If so, your code looks like it should work!

    If you can dream it, you can do it!

        @Francisco Teofilo Perhaps you can share some screenshots or a screen recording?

        It would be helpful to better understand your workflow.

        Hi @andrew_videoask here’s the screenshots of the steps I did. The form is working in the website however when I go to the contacts in hubspot I can’t see the source (is empty).

        Step 1

         

        Step 2 (Copied the Code)

         

        Step 3 (Paste the Code in Hubspot)

          The problem is that you're hardcoding the UTM values in the `data-tf-hidden` attribute (the `utm_source=xxxxx,utm_medium=xxxxx` part). Those "xxxxx" values need to be replaced with the actual UTM parameters from the URL, but since you're embedding this in a HubSpot module, those values are static rather than dynamic.

          The `data-tf-transitive-search-params` attribute should theoretically pass the UTMs from the current page URL into the popup form, but this only works if the UTMs are still present in the URL when the popup is triggered. If someone lands on your homepage with UTMs and then navigates to another page before clicking the popup button, the UTMs will be lost.

          You have a couple of options here:

          You could write some JavaScript to dynamically populate those hidden field values by pulling the UTMs from the URL (or from localStorage if you want to store them across page views). But this requires custom coding and ongoing maintenance.

          Alternatively, tools like Attributer.io can handle this automatically. It captures the UTM parameters when someone first lands on your site, stores them in a cookie, and then writes them into hidden fields on your Typeform when it's submitted. This works regardless of which page the popup is triggered on. Plus you get attribution data for organic traffic (Organic Search, Organic Social, Direct, etc.) that doesn't have UTM parameters.

          The key thing is that you need some way to dynamically populate those hidden field values rather than hardcoding them with "xxxxx".

          Still need help?
