How to correctly track form submissions

Depending on how forms on your website work, they must be tracked differently.

How to track forms that redirect you to a different page after submission

To track these forms, you do not need to do any special setup.

Your tracking tool will automatically track when the “success page” is displayed. Just find it in your traffic reports.

How to track “search” forms and forms that refresh the page after they are submitted

To track such forms you should use the “Track form submissions” settings in your chosen tracking tool settings page.

How to track forms that do NOT refresh the page when they are submitted

Forms that do not refresh the page after they are submitted cannot be tracked with the typical “form submission tracking” method shown above. Instead, you need to track when the “Thank you for sending an email” message shows on screen.

You can do that with the “Element visibility” settings in WP Full Picture.

Simply enter the CSS selector of the “success” message that shows after the successful submission and WP Full picture will track when it is shown on screen.

If this does not work, then it will mean that the message was added to HTML dynamically. In that case, go to the General Settings > Default tracking settings > and enable “Dom listener” option. This will fix the problem.

How to track other forms

Find in WP FP settings fields for tracking clicks and use them to track clicks in the “Send” button of your form.
