How Formulayt Determines Attribution Channels

How Formulayt identifies traffic sources by matching referral URLs to determine which channels are driving your form submissions.

Updated over 5 months ago

Want to get insight into where your submissions are coming from? Formulayt features a built-in channel attribution report so you can see which channels convert the most leads.

The report uses a combination of browser referrer and the current page URL to determine the channel. The matching string must be contained within the referral URL as shown in the table below.

Google and Google Ads

Certain settings can affect the final referrer when a user arrives on a website via a Google ad. To handle such cases, Formulayt will look for a GCLID in the page URL and will typically set the channel to “Google Ads” when a GCLID is present and the visit hasn’t already been classified into a more specific ad channel (such as Google Ads Search). For this to function correctly, please ensure that auto-tagging is enabled in your Google Ad account.
