How can I get the referring domain as a hidden field when someone submits a form in Webflow?
To get the referring domain as a hidden field when someone submits a form in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Create a hidden field: First, you need to add a hidden field to your form. To do this, go to the form settings, click on the "Add Field" button, and select "Hidden" from the field type options. Give the field a name, for example, "Referring Domain".
Add custom code: After adding the hidden field, you'll need to add some custom code to populate the value of the referring domain. Click on the "Custom Code" button on the left-hand panel of the Webflow Designer.
Insert the JavaScript code: In the custom code panel, insert the following JavaScript code:
<script> var referrer = document.referrer; document.getElementsByName("Referring Domain")[0].value = referrer;</script>
This code will retrieve the referring domain and insert it as the value of the hidden field named "Referring Domain".
- Save and publish: Once you have added the custom code, save your changes and publish your Webflow site for the changes to take effect.
Now, whenever someone submits a form on your Webflow site, the referring domain will be captured and sent along with the form submission as a hidden field value.
Incorporating the referring domain as a hidden field in your form submissions can provide valuable insights into where your leads or customers are coming from, allowing you to analyze the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.
