Hidden Field: pass on source page

[SaSchn]

I have a signup page for my users and I would like to track, which Landing pages they came from.

Example: landing page is www.domain.com/landing-page

I would like my signup form to pass the information, that the signup came through “landing-page” on to airtable so I can see which landing page performs best

Bonus: even better would be, if I could somehow track which google ads campaign the signup came from - e.g track the Click ID (gclid) from the ads campaign

Is that feasable with something like a hidden field? How would I go about that?

Well, you can access the previous url on your landing page by using javascript, something like:

<script>
// Check the link of website user came from
const previousUrl = document.referrer; 
</script>

Now, the trouble (for me at least), would be to pass this value to the form via hidden field.

A solution to this need was requested on this post:

Can we fill the value of a Form's Hidden Field with a variable defined in a custom code block?

I see that variables we can pass into a Hidden Field include: Logged in user’s Name / Email Fields on AirTable’s User table URL Parameters I’m wondering if there’s a way (or workaround) we can define a variable in a custom code block and fill this into a Hidden Field to let that handle the submission? Example: (custom code block) let dogType = “corgi” (custom form block) Hidden Field’s Value = {dogType} Submit → AirTable receives the {dogType} as “corgi” The goal here is to use a cu…

I wonder if this can actually be done @artur

Those things are all possible but typically requires small JS code snippets like getting referral and intercepting form submission and adding values in the form etc…

Same approach if we need to log the email address of the user updating a record via pencil icon?

Similar I can help on the real page with examples of utm params etc…
