Salesforce Web-to-Lead Attribution Tracking
Capture marketing attribution data directly in Salesforce Lead records. AttributionHub populates hidden fields on your Web-to-Lead forms with UTM parameters, referrers, and landing pages — giving your sales team full marketing context on every lead.
Why Web-to-Lead Forms Need Attribution
Salesforce Web-to-Lead is the simplest way to create leads directly in your CRM from website form submissions. Generate an HTML form, embed it on your site, and every submission creates a Lead object in Salesforce.
But the out-of-the-box Web-to-Lead form captures what the visitor typed — their name, email, company, phone number. It doesn't capture how they found you. The marketing source, the campaign that brought them, the keyword they searched — all of that context disappears at the point of conversion.
For sales teams, this is a real problem. They're working leads without knowing whether someone came from a high-intent Google Ads keyword or stumbled across a general blog post. The follow-up should be different, but without source data, every lead gets the same approach.
AttributionHub solves this by capturing first-party attribution data and writing it into hidden fields on your Web-to-Lead form. Every lead enters Salesforce with its marketing context already attached.
What Data Gets Captured
UTM Parameters
Source, medium, campaign, term, and content — captured from URLs and mapped to Salesforce Lead custom fields.
Landing Page & Referrer
The page the visitor landed on and the referring site, showing the complete entry path before form submission.
Channel Classification
Automatic tagging as Paid Search, Organic, Social, Email, Direct, or Referral — clean, consistent data in every Lead.
First Touch & Last Touch
Both the original marketing source and the converting touchpoint, supporting Salesforce reporting and attribution models.
How It Works
Web-to-Lead forms are standard HTML, so AttributionHub detects and populates them automatically.

Use Cases
Enterprise Sales Teams — Every Web-to-Lead submission enters Salesforce with full marketing context. Sales reps see the campaign, source, and channel directly on the Lead record.
Marketing ROI Reporting — Build Salesforce reports and dashboards that connect closed-won revenue back to the original marketing campaign. Attribution fields on Leads flow through to Opportunities and beyond.
Lead Scoring — Use attribution data in your lead scoring model. A lead from a high-intent paid search keyword might score differently than one from an organic blog visit.
Territory Routing — Combine attribution data with lead routing rules. Route leads from enterprise-targeted campaigns to your enterprise sales team automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need field mapping for Salesforce?
Salesforce Web-to-Lead uses auto-generated 18-character field IDs (starting
with 00N) as HTML field names. Since these don't match AttributionHub's
default field names, you need to tell the system which ID maps to which
attribution field.
Does this work with Salesforce Lightning?
Yes. Web-to-Lead is a platform feature that works the same in Classic and Lightning. Lead records with attribution data appear correctly in both interfaces.
Can I use this data in Salesforce reports?
Absolutely. Custom Lead fields are available in all Salesforce reporting tools. Build reports, create dashboards, and set up automated report subscriptions using attribution data.
Will attribution data carry over to Opportunities?
Not automatically — you'll need a Salesforce field mapping or Flow to copy attribution data from the Lead to the Opportunity when the Lead is converted. This is a common Salesforce configuration.
