Embeded forms - How to extract URL from main page

Hi @User22 Thanks for stopping by the community. I’m afraid I don’t quite understand the question - are you trying to find the URL of your form? The above post looks to be copied from one of our articles, so any further information you can provide would be great!

This is not a question. This is a solution to a challenge I had that was not covered in the help section. 

It shows you can get hidden fields values from website URL when you embed the form. The help section shows you have you can get hidden fields values if your going to the form directly, not if embedded . 

Got it - thanks for clarifying, @User22 !

Thanks User22!
Does anyone know how to do such in Webflow(.com)?

Regards,

Hi @VP_Bob Are you looking to grab the URL on a typeform embedded there? Any further info you can tell us would be helpful!

I have a similar problem. I have embedded my Typeform form into Framer template. The form has a hidden field called “url.” I’d like to extract the url where the form submission occurred and place it into this hidden field. Is this possible? I’m having one heck of a time figuring it out. 

Hi @mtoering7 If you don’t want to write a code for this, you would need to do this manually by entering something into a hidden field in the embed code. One thing to note - it’s not possible to pass a URL in a URL, so you could instead have a keyword suggesting which page the form was embedded on. 

This is a helpful walkthrough for passing URL parameters to embedded Typeforms using the `data-transferable-url-parameters` attribute.

One thing to keep in mind is that this approach only captures parameters that are currently in the URL when the form is submitted. So if someone clicks your ad with UTM parameters, lands on your homepage, then navigates to a different page before completing the embedded form, those UTM parameters will be lost since they're no longer in the URL.

To solve this, you'd need to store the parameters when the visitor first arrives and then pass them through regardless of which page they eventually submit the form on. You can write custom JavaScript to handle this, or there are tools like Attributer.io that automatically store UTM parameters (plus other attribution data like GCLID, organic channel info, etc.) in a cookie and write them into hidden fields when forms are submitted.

The benefit is that someone can browse around your site or even leave and come back later, and the original attribution data will still be captured when they eventually convert.
