Send Google Analytics Client ID into hidden form field

Design help Custom code

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out how to send in a hidden form field, the Google Analytics Client ID. I’m using this code, but it does not work as expected.

What would you do instead?

What if you remove “form#Form” from the script?

So this “#Google_Analytics_Client_ID__c” instead of “form#Form #Google_Analytics_Client_ID__c”

Hi @philipboomy ,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it still does not work for me. Not sure where the problem is.

Hey I’m trying to get the same thing to work. Did you find a solution?

Hi @Ruben_Van_Den_Oever ,

Yes, we ended up using the following script (Project settings custom code, before your body tag):

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {

	function waitforeverything() {
      
      // GAUID
      var gauid = ga.getAll()[0].get('clientId');
      console.log(gauid);
      $('input#Google_Analytics_Client_ID__c').attr('value', gauid);
    
    setTimeout(waitforeverything, 3000)
  });
</script>

And in your form, you add an HTML embed element where you include your hidden input:

<input type="hidden" name="Google_Analytics_Client_ID__c" id="Google_Analytics_Client_ID__c" value="" />

@Berlitz Thank you for your quick response!

Implemented it, but seems to not see my client ID. Perhaps mine is because it is blocked from analytics. Just going to wait for a response and hope it will work :slight_smile:

Hey @Berlitz @Ruben_Van_Den_Oever
Any luck making this work?
I’m trying to achieve the same thing and i followed the steps outlined in the solution but it’s still not capturing the clientId for me

Sadly not… I tried using GTM too. I could capture the client ID, but was not able to put it in an hidden field. I think I would be able to do it now, but found another solution for our needs.

We wanted to see where people have been before signing up. We capture the UTM in the cookie and then send it in an hidden field. Works for now.
