FormAssembly is one of the fastest ways to create powerful, customizable forms, and you don't need to code. Its drag-and-drop builder, rich templates, and flexible publishing options make it a favorite for teams who need to launch forms quickly.

Madlitics adds the attribution layer, recording where each visitor came from, including source, medium, campaign, and landing page. Every FormAssembly submission arrives with its marketing context, and FormAssembly can pass that data on to your CRM with the rest of the response.

In this article, you'll configure FormAssembly to capture Madlitics attribution data with every submission, to see which channels and campaigns bring in your leads and customers, and send that data to your CRM.

Create new or use an existing form

Step 1: Start with a new form and select your preferred creation method — Blank, template, etc. You can also use an existing form from your Forms List.

Configure FormAssembly to capture attribution

Step 2: 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 details without adding anything extra for your visitors to fill out.

  1. Begin by adding a 'Hidden Field' to your form.
  2. Update the 'Field Label' = Channel.
  3. Add a 'Default Value' = [channel]
  4. Repeat for all Madlitics fields.
