Zoho Forms Attribution Tracking

Know exactly which marketing channels drive your Zoho Forms submissions. AttributionHub captures UTM parameters, referrers, and landing pages — supporting both iframe embeds and native HTML form elements.

Why Your Zoho Forms Need Marketing Attribution

Zoho Forms is a solid form builder that integrates naturally with the Zoho ecosystem — CRM, Campaigns, Analytics, and more. You're probably using it to capture leads, registrations, or survey responses across your website.

But when those submissions arrive in Zoho, you see the form answers without the marketing context. You know what people told you, but not what brought them to your site in the first place.

Was it a Google search? A LinkedIn ad? A blog post on a partner's site? Without this data, you're making marketing budget decisions on gut feeling instead of actual conversion data.

AttributionHub captures visitor-level attribution and passes it into Zoho Forms hidden fields. Whether your form is embedded as an iframe or uses the HTML source code embed, every submission carries its marketing context.

What Data Gets Captured

How It Works

Zoho Forms offers two embed modes: iframe-based embeds and native HTML form elements (source code embed). AttributionHub handles both, but uses different methods for each.

Step 1: Create Hidden Fields in Zoho Forms

In the Zoho Forms builder, add single-line text fields for each attribution data point. Set each field to Hidden in the Advanced properties. Set the Field Unique Name to match AttributionHub's field names.

Step 2: Enable URL Parameter Pre-Fill

In Zoho Forms settings, go to General Settings and enable Pre-fill fields from URL parameters. Map each URL parameter to the corresponding hidden field in your form.

Step 3: Add the AttributionHub Script

Place the tracking snippet on your website:

<script src="https://cdn.attributionhub.com/attribution.js?id=YOUR_ID" async defer></script>

For iframe embeds, add the data-attrhub-iframe attribute to the iframe element so AttributionHub detects it. For HTML source code embeds, the form is detected automatically.

Step 4: Test the Integration

Visit your page with UTM parameters and submit the form:

https://yoursite.com/contact?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=lead-gen-campaign

Check the submission in Zoho Forms — the hidden fields should contain the correct attribution values.
