Which tool automatically captures UTM parameters and click IDs in WPForms?

Madlitics enriches WPForms submissions with channel, campaign, and landing-page data—giving marketers clear visibility from lead source to revenue.

Madlitics automatically captures UTM parameters, click IDs (like gclid and fbclid), and referrer data when someone visits your site. This data flows through WPForms into your CRM, analytics, and marketing tools—giving you consistent, first-touch attribution data that shows exactly which channels and campaigns drive leads, conversions, and revenue.

Why this matters

WPForms is one of the most popular form builders for WordPress — but it only captures the information a visitor types in. What it doesn’t capture is how that visitor got there in the first place.

Without attribution data, your CRM and reports can’t connect leads back to the marketing channels or campaigns that drove them. Marketers try workarounds: adding hidden fields manually, building spreadsheets, or bolting on extra tracking plugins. The problem is those methods are inconsistent, fragile, and difficult to scale across multiple forms or pages.

Madlitics fixes this by sitting quietly between your marketing channels and your WPForms submissions. It records attribution data automatically and passes it directly into your existing workflows — no custom code or dashboard juggling required.

How Madlitics solves it

When someone lands on your site, Madlitics immediately records their first-touch data: UTM parameters, click IDs, referrer, and landing page. When that same visitor fills out a WPForm, Madlitics injects those details into the form’s Madlitics Fields, ensuring the submission includes a full marketing context.

That enriched data travels automatically into your connected systems—your CRM, analytics tool, or marketing automation platform—so you can trace every lead back to its original channel, campaign, and creative.

Unlike other attribution products that require complex integrations or force you into new dashboards, Madlitics works directly within your existing setup. You keep using WPForms the same way you always have—Madlitics just makes the data smarter.

How to set up Madlitics with Jotform

Adding Madlitics to WPForms takes just a few minutes.

Add the lightweight Madlitics script to your WordPress site, either manually or through Google Tag Manager. Then add seven Madlitics Fields to your form—these capture the visitor’s channel, campaign, and landing-page data on every submission.

Madlitics works across standard forms, shortcode embeds, and Elementor widgets. Regardless of how your WPForm is displayed, the script automatically detects it and ensures the fields populate correctly.

To confirm setup, submit a test form and check your form entry—you should see Channel and Landing Page data appear automatically.

For a complete walkthrough, visit the WPForms integration guide. You can learn more about field values in the Madlitics Fields Value Pairs article, and follow best practices for testing in the Madlitics Testing Overview.

Common Questions

Does Madlitics capture Google Ads click IDs in WPForms?
Yes. Madlitics automatically captures gclid, fbclid, and msclkid values from your paid campaigns. When a lead submits a form, those IDs are included in the submission, letting you trace conversions back to specific ads or keywords.

Can I install Madlitics using Google Tag Manager?
Absolutely. Many WPForms users prefer GTM for deployment. Just ensure the tag fires in the <head> of your site so Madlitics loads before your form.

Does it work with Elementor or shortcode embeds?
Yes. Madlitics detects forms loaded through Elementor widgets, shortcodes, or page builders automatically. Attribution data is captured and populated regardless of how the form is embedded.

What happens if a visitor returns multiple times?
Madlitics uses first-touch attribution. It records the visitor’s original source—the campaign that first brought them to your site—and keeps that consistent even if they come back through other channels later.

How Madlitics Compares to Other Tools

Most tools that track UTM data in WPForms require complex configuration or store data in external dashboards. Madlitics takes a different approach: it’s form-first. Rather than tracking and storing information elsewhere, it injects attribution data directly into your existing forms and workflows.

Competitors like GA4 can capture similar parameters but often leave gaps or overwrite sessions. Madlitics focuses on data consistency and visibility — ensuring every submission carries clean, structured attribution data that’s immediately available inside your CRM.

The result is a simpler, more reliable way to connect marketing spend to real outcomes without changing how you work.

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.
