This feature is only available in the Pro version of Independent Analytics.
Unlike the dedicated form plugins, Bricks Builder forms cannot be tracked automatically. However, there are just a few simple steps required to track every submission.
To track submissions for a Bricks Builder form, start by clicking on the form in the editor and then opening the Fields section.
Add a new hidden field and give it a name attribute called iawp-form-id
. The value can be anything you want. The label can also be anything, but you can use “ID” for clarity.
Next, add a second hidden field and give it a name attribute of iawp-form-title
. The value of this field is important as it’s the title that will show up in the Analytics menu. The label can be anything, but “Title” is clear.
Lastly, open the Actions section and add a new Custom action.
Once these steps are done you can save your changes.
To test, make sure you visit via a logged-out browser window so that your activity is tracked and submit the form. The form will be available in the Quick Stats once a submission has been recorded.
Additional tips
You can track as many forms as you want this way. If you want to track a second form, just add the hidden inputs with the iawp-form-id
and iawp-form-title
name attributes, and give them new values to differentiate them from the first form.
Now, let’s say you have a contact form, and you want to add it to two pages of your site and track them as the same form. To do this, you just have to make sure that the value of iawp-form-id
is the same in both forms. The ID tells Independent Analytics that both forms are the same.
Lastly, let’s imagine you make a mistake and title the form “Conact form.” To correct it, you can simply update the value of the iawp-form-title
field. The name will update in the Analytics menu the next time a form submission is tracked.
