Integrate Madlitics with NinjaForms

How to update your NinjaForms forms to dynamically capture data.

Write an Overview here for the installation guide.

💆 Heads-up: Make sure Madlitics is installed on the site where this NinjaForm form lives (ie. Wordpress). The form alone won’t capture attribution data — Madlitics needs to be running on the page to pass lead data into your submissions. Installing Madlitics on Wordpress ->

Step 1: Install and activate the NinjaForms plugin

Get started by installing the NinjaForms plugin to your Wordpress environment. Select Plugins from the sidebar menu and either click the 'Add Plugin' button from the page or select the 'Add plugin' dropdown menu item. Search for 'NinjaForms' via the Search Plugins textfield input. Once the plugin has been found, install it. Once installed the plugin must be activated by clicking the 'Activate' button.

Plugins > Add Plugin > Search 'NinjaForms' > Install > Activate

‍

Plugins > Add plugin > Search for 'NinjaForms' > Click 'Install'

‍

‍

Step 2: Create a form to capture attribution data

Navigate to NinjaForms from your sidebar menu in Wordpress. Create a new form via the Dashboard screen by click the "Add New" button (also accessible via the "Add New" submenu option under dashboard). Select the type of form you would like to us to capture attribution data.

Working with a previously created form? Select your form, then click the settings gear(⚙️) > 'Edit' to open the form editor.

Add new > Select form template

Create a new form by clicking the 'Add New' button

Step 3: Add Madlitics fields, update labels and default field values

Build your form however you like—whether that’s a simple contact form or something more advanced. To make sure attribution data comes through with every submission, you’ll need to drop in seven (7) fields powered by Madlitics. These fields work behind the scenes, automatically pulling in details like channel, campaign, and landing page without adding anything extra for your visitors to fill out.

Place a hidden field in your form to store attribution data from Madlitics. Select the field to access the field properties. Within the field properties panel define the Field Label channel and Default Value [channel].

Repeat this process for the remaining six (6) Madlitics fields. Once you’ve got all seven Madlitics fields configured, save your form — you’re ready to start capturing rich attribution data alongside your lead details. Configure additional Madlitics field value pairs for deeper customization and richer insights.

‍

‍

Step 4: Add the form to a page (or post)

Select the page (or post) you want to begin capturing marketing data on, with the newly created form. In the page editor, select 'Add Block', search for NinjaForms and click the NinjaForms block component. Select the the name of the form, that includes the hidden fields, from the Select Form dropdown to embed it on the page.

Repeat these full instructions, on any number of pages, posts and forms across your site to capture marketing attribution data — any way you need.

Add block > Search 'NinjaForms' > Select NinjaForms > Select form

Select 'Add Block' > Search for NinjaForms > Select NinjaForms block

‍

Select the the name of the form and publish

‍

Select the form and 'save draft' or publish when complete

‍

Step 5: Testing

From there, publish your page and run a quick test by submitting the form yourself. The captured attribution data will appear in your NinjaForms submission page, showing details like channel, campaign, and landing page. Once confirmed, this data will seamlessly pass into your connected tools — like your CRM or analytics platform — giving you full visibility for reporting and optimization.

1. Add UTM parameters to all inbound links

Any marketing effort that drives traffic — whether it’s a paid ad, an email campaign, or an organic post — should have properly structured URLs that clearly define the visitor’s origin. Setting it up is a straightforward process that starts with ensuring all inbound links include UTM parameters.
‍
A LinkedIn campaign, for example, might link to:
‍https://yoursite.com/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=paidsocial&utm_campaign=q1_promo

2. Add hidden fields

Once you’ve added UTM tracking to your inbound links, the next step is to install Madlitics on your site and update your Framer Forms to include hidden fields that will store attribution data when a visitor submits a form automatically. Hidden fields to include:

• Channel (e.g., Paid Search, Organic Social, Direct)
• Segment 1 (Platform name: Google, LinkedIn, Twitter)
• Segment 2 (Campaign name)
• Segment 3 (Ad group, offer name, or post type)
• Segment 4 (Creative type or ad variation)
• Landing page/group (Tracking & first-touch attribution)

3. Utilize attribution data

With the setup complete, every form submission in Framer now carries full attribution data, ensuring accurate insights into where leads originate. Pass this data to your CRM, analytics tools, or marketing automation platforms to track performance, refine campaigns, and optimize marketing efforts with precision.

With Madlitics now activated and your forms ready to accept marketing attribution data, you can start tracking valuable insights immediately, and pass attribution data into your CRM, email marketing platform, business intelligence tool or more for advanced reporting.

Outperforms basic UTM tracking
Madlitics captures, categorizes, and persists attribution data across sessions, giving you a complete, structured view of what’s working in your marketing. Say goodbye to losing attribution when users navigate your site, struggling with formatting inconsistencies, and ingored non-UTM traffic.

Capture all traffic
Madlitics categorizes all inbound leads — whether they have UTM parameters or not — so every conversion is accounted for, and you won't miss out on Organic Search, Organic Social, and Referral traffic.

Attribution across pages and sessions
A LinkedIn ad click should be attributed correctly—even if the visitor signs up on a different page later. If someone clicks an ad, browses multiple pages, then submits a form later, Madlitics persists attribution data across sessions, ensuring your reports reflect true performance.

Cleaner, more reliable data
Duplicate UTMs and inconsistent formatting break reports and mislead teams. Madlitics cleans and organizes attribution data before sending it to your CRM, giving you accurate insights.

See which content converts
Attribution isn’t just about where visitors came from—it’s about what convinced them to convert. By capturing landing page data alongside UTM parameters, Madlitics shows you which blog posts, case studies, or pricing pages drive the most revenue, helping you scale content that works.

Transform form submissions into actionable insights
Madlitics connects marketing touchpoints to lead generation, ensuring every form submission is fully attributed — optimize ad spend by identifying high-ROI channels, refine messaging based on what content drives engagement, make data-driven decisions with clean, structured reports, and more.
