Adding source string to Email Sign up Code

Sarah Kershaw

Hi Everyone,


I need to track people who sign up to receive our emails on a specific content page, not a donate page. 

Is there anyway to add source information to the convio snippets? So I can track that way?

Hey Sarah - is this signup form live on your site now? Can you send a link to it?

Hi Sarah - in some cases the system will try to implicitly source the interaction. For example, if you fill out that survey with a new constituent, what does it say for the origin source and subsource of the newly-created record?


Is that same survey (#1162) being used in more than one place? If it's only being used on the World Toilet Day site, then one thing that might do the trick is editing Survey #1162 in the admin side, and adding a default source or subsource to it.


Additionally, if you feel comfortable editing the code itself, you should be able to add in some hidden source inputs. So something like this within the <form> of the snippet.

<input name="s_src" type="hidden" value="SOURCEVALUEGOESHERE">


And finally, you could also clone the registration surveys being used for each particular campaign page and simply updating the code block with the new form ID. Does that make sense?


Also, how exactly are you looking to report on this? That could have implications as well.


Hopefully that helps.
