Save and publish your project: Once you have entered your tracking ID, save your changes and publish your Webflow project.
Set up a goal in Google Analytics: In your Google Analytics account, go to the Admin section. Under View, click on Goals. Set up a new goal by clicking on the "+ New Goal" button.
Define the goal type: In the goal setup, choose the "Custom" option and click the "Continue" button.
Enter a goal description: Give your goal a name and select the "Destination" goal type. Click the "Continue" button.
Define the goal details: In the destination details, select the "Begins with" option and enter the URL path of your form's success page. This is usually the page that users are redirected to after submitting the form. Click the "Save" button.
Test your goal: Submit a test form on your website and check if the goal is triggered in Google Analytics. You can view the goal conversion data under the Conversions > Goals section in Google Analytics.
