To track Umbraco Forms submissions, you need to install with a valid license from Umbraco HQ. You also need to install the Umbraco Engage .

Summary

Umbraco Engage measures interactions with Umbraco Forms on your website automatically if you include the Umbraco Engage . No additional configuration is needed. The data is visualized in the backoffice in Engage > Analytics > Forms.

The following is measured:

  • The time a visitor started filling in the form.

  • The time a visitor finished filling in the form (like when it was submitted).

  • If the visitor has seen the form, and whether it was in their viewport.

  • If the form was submitted successfully.

    • This is based on client-side validation only. If client-side validation passes it is seen as a successful submit.

  • If the form raised any client-side errors, and how many was raised.

  • Focus/unfocus events of each field and whether the field was empty or contained data at that time.

Tracking a visitor Form submissions

It is possible to track a specific visitor to your website and see if they have made any form submissions. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Edit the Umbraco Form you wish to track visitors for and go to the Design view.

  2. Add a new field to your form called 'Analytics - VisitorId`.

  3. Give the new form field a name such as Visitor ID.

  4. Specify a URL in the settings of the field type called Template:

https://**yoursite.com**/umbraco/#Engage/profiles/profiles/insights?id=**[[visitor.id]]**`

The URL above is a link to your website, including a visitor ID. By using a URL like this you can click directly through to view the visitor profile from Forms workflows. This includes emails, Slack messages as well as exported Excel data.

Disable Umbraco Forms tracking

By adding the engage-no-tracking attribute you can disable Umbraco Forms tracking on the form or field level. The attribute needs to be added to either the form tag or to a field tag (like input, select, or textarea).
