Tracking web sign-ups

Stacie Murphy

Is there a way to know who/how many people have signed up for our email action center through our website?  Can I set it up so that those people will be tracked in the future?

Hey Stacy,

There are various ways to do this:

One is to see what you could do with report writer -- you should be able to look at interactions (say survey signups) that come from your website... Generally convio tracks the URL where the person started from in the s_src field, and the sub page in the s_subsrc field. Some users will not be tracked like this however.

One slightly more sure way is to define your own s_src and s_subsrc attributes in the link from your website (or as form parameters).

Another way would be to set up a form that only gets linked to from your main website (as opposed to what you might send third parties to use, or link to from email).
