For example, I was thinking of using Google Analytics to create tags at the end of 2,000 urls, so each of them will be unique. Like so: <a href="http://3pl-survey.supplychainheros.com/?utm_source=supplychainheros&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=2" rel="nofollow">http://3pl-survey.supplychainheros.com/?utm_source=supplychainheros&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=2</a></p> <p>I add a unique number at the end of each URL. </p> <p>So how can I pass this unique id "2" into Gravity forms? I will have 2,000 unique ids. </p> <p>I would really appreciate hearing from you today! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-tracking-id#post-30153 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:48:41 +0000 Carl Hancock 30153@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I assumed you were going to use the same link and instead pass a unique ID via the query string. If you want to do unique URL's I have no clue how you are going to do that. Gravity Forms are embedded on a single page or post. So how would you have 1000's of unique URL's?</p> <p>The easiest thing to do would be to have a unique ID. Use the same URL. Pass the unique ID. Then capture that unique ID as a field value as I outlined above. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-tracking-id#post-30136 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:18:16 +0000 dustinmattison 30136@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am still not clear whether I have to go through those steps above for every unique URL, or is there a way to set it up once, can capture the query string from each of the 2,000 unique URLs I plan to create.

So now you would have that ID with the form entry. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-tracking-id#post-30032 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 16:31:15 +0000 dustinmattison 30032@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a client who wants me to send an email survey to their customer list of 2000 people. They will send me the list. I don't want to send each email individually as it will take too long. I plan to use EmailBot from Incansoft for this (if it will work, I am not sure how to create a unique URL for each of the 2000 people)</p> <p>The email will contain a hyperlink. I want to be able to track which respondents went to the link and filled out the anonymous online survey form. I don't want to ask for their email address in the form. </p> <p>I need to know who clicked on the links AND who filled out the surveys. </p> <p>My problem is how do I track which people fill out the survey form?</p> <p>I need to find a way to add a unique variable to each URL, so that each of the 2,000 people in the email list get assigned a unique URL, then I think I can track which ones fill out the form. </p> <p>Any advice on how to approach this problem using Gravity forms? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/user-tracking-id#post-26850 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:44:31 +0000 David Smith 26850@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There are multiple ways to dynamically populate a field with Gravity Forms; however, if the variable is not present in the URL, that method will not work. Using a bit of custom code you could capture the query variable when the user first arrives at the site, store it in a $SESSION variable and then use the gform_field_value hook to retrieve the value from the $SESSION variable and populate the field.</p> <p>More info on dynamic population and the gform_field_value hook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_Dynamic_Population</a><br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_value_$parameter_name</a> </p>
