This video might be the best tutorial of how to track forms with Google Tag Manager. The example using the CSS Selector was very useful. Thank you for this content!
Thank You, Julian. that Visibility Trigger helps me a lot 🙏 👇 For GA4 STEP 1: Create a tag "GA4 | SEND MESSAGE" or anything you like. STEP 2: Set the configuration tag - GA4 ID. STEP 3: Set event name "form_send_message" or anything you like. STEP 4: Use the same process for "VISIBILITY Trigger" as shown in video.
Hi Julian, thank you so much for all this information. You detail step by step how to properly set up our tracking and conversion, I really enjoy your content and I would like to thank you once more for all this amazing knowledge you offer !!!
AWESOME VIDEO!! If anyone is pulling hairs for not seeing Conversions on Real Time @ GA assign a same value for your event at GTM and at Conversion set up at GA instead of leaving it blank
Great! As a follow-up video, you can show how a person can import the goal from GoogleAnalytics to GoogleAds (atleast for technique 1) so that they can track their conversions through their ads.
Great video - helped me so much with my GTM issues. Advanced version: Is there a way to connect events and formsubmits? --> The basic idea is, I only want an event to fire when a form is successfully submitted - so I don't have any events tracking that did not end up in a submitted form. Any ideas? Anyone?
You can use form classes, assuming the field is indicative of that specific form (IE, no other form uses the specific name or numbers associated with that form). Just use whatever variable that won't change and stays the same. Form ID for my case changed every time so I used form classes and it worked.
Thanks Julian, I watched this whole video... and it helped. I had a form where the elements weren't labelled in HTML so it was the 3rd option I needed. I have to watch it twice, as I hadn't got it set up right, but your video was super helpful. Quick question, Do you do a text version step by step. I think that would be a great way to support the videos you make. Thanks again
Great tutorial! Question: At 7:05 mark, you mentioned a technique of opening up a new window without sending the form out. How do you do it exactly? I tried it with Command + Send, but that doesn't work.
Thanks for your content Julian! I follow you since a while ago and it has helped me a lot. I wanted to ask you if the Method 2 is still working in 2020, because before i created the form trigger, i did a submission which is tracked by GTM in the Form variables (where you find 'Form ID', 'Form target', 'Form text', etc), but when i created the trigger you show in the video and made another submission, GTM doesn't recognizes it as a "gtm.formSubmit" hit, but only as another regular click (again, showing the Form's variables). What do you think is going wrong? i missed something? Thanks a lot again 😀
I have a similar problem... My GTM just doesnt recognize the form submission - in any of the 3 methods - when the submission is done with AJAX! So I set the form submission to "reload page" and now it works! Maybe this could be the same for you.
Wow, that was outstanding. I have a question...... I am creating audiences now and I am using: If visited Page and I want to exclude people who filled out the form. I have form 3 type of form, where I had to use CSS code so I can not exclude people who visited the form completion. Any ideas? Thank you.
Hi, that Vid is awesome. The second way is the best for me. Problem is: if the user filled out wrong and he gets an error, the conversion fires to analytics anyway. That is a problem for my client. Form isn't on a specific page. thanks for the input guys
Hi! Great video thank very. much, it helped me a lot. There is one thing that is missing. I had to use the third version of the tag and the visibility values and I wanted to set up the goal in Analytics but I couldnt because you don't explain how to set up the third version. Please can you advise? When I am in Goal I have options as destination or event but neither one of them is giving me the option of the visibility action. Thanks a lot!!!!!!
Hey Julian, this is a great video and it got me up and running on Tag Manager. I used the third method for establishing a trigger. I'm not sure why the 2nd method did not work for me, nonetheless I am good now. But I do have a problem. I followed your video and for some reason I can not find the CSS node that established the connection to Tag Manager. It is "div.elementor-message-success". But now when I do a search in my Console....it's nowhere to be found. My concern is that if I need to modify...I can't. I'm just stumped. Anyway, just some feedback just in case the matter comes up in the future.
Dear Julian, Thanks for your super helpful video! I've searched all day but your video was the only real help. Thank you so much! :) And I have a question too... :) In the 3. method can I separate my contact forms? If I guess well, all of them use wpcf7-mail-sent-ok css. Thank you in advance! :)
Hi there, what if I wanted to add tracking to the submit button of a form that I have on the main nav header of a website? I would like to be able to see the page where the user came from once they actually submit a form. How would I go about tracking in GTM and GA?
great tutorials! thank you! is there a tutorial around where you show how to track ajax loaded pages? Can´t find anything helpful. example is the wix/ecwid store. all pages and urls are loaded with ajax. tracking the urls is not working.
Hey Julian Thanks for this video. How can we setup tracking for forms which use the same page as the thank you page? So that the forms submissions are shown separately as conversions.
This was an excellent tutorial for tracking form conversions. How would you track the conversion rate of a form? Maybe page view versus submit success?
MeasureSchool Thanks for the reply. So tracking if someone starts to fill out the form would give a better conversion indication over just a page view? That makes sense.
What do you do if your website wont open up a new tab? Anyway to see the form data layer before the new page loads? Or prevent the new page from loading? I tried command on my mac, there are just several CTA buttons that wont open a new tab with that pressed on our website.
Hi Julian, great video. However, I see that you set up the trigger to fire every time the "thank you" element appears in the viewport. After firing it, you scrolled to the top of the page, so the element was no longer in the viewport. Don't you think that it will fire once again when you scroll back to it? And if yes, how would you handle the option to submit the same form multiple times on the same page? Best regards and thank you in advance.
Great tutorial, Julian! Many, many thanks! I have one question: what if the Thank-you message doesn't have a new class when the form was successfully submitted? I still have the same class ("form") and a new html visible element on the page, which is a H5 = "Thank you" text. Is there a way to track this visible element? because the page is not reloading or something... Thanks in advance!
@@loutruong not yet, but promise to come back when I'll have it. Or, I'm still asking the dev to implement a Thank-you page, which would be so much easier for everything :))
I have a similar problem... My GTM just doesnt recognize the form submission - in any of the 3 methods - when the submission is done with AJAX! So I set the form submission to "reload page" and now it works! Maybe this could be the same for you.

Hi,
I am struggling to learn how to make a event tag from visibility trigger in GA4.
After 5 Years still my NO. 1 Video to check if forms from my Clients doesn't work! Thank you so much!
gosh!!! how can you teach so smoothly? you are an amazing teacher, no one can teach tag manager like u
This video might be the best tutorial of how to track forms with Google Tag Manager. The example using the CSS Selector was very useful. Thank you for this content!
Thank You, Julian. that Visibility Trigger helps me a lot 🙏
👇
For GA4
STEP 1: Create a tag "GA4 | SEND MESSAGE" or anything you like.
STEP 2: Set the configuration tag - GA4 ID.
STEP 3: Set event name "form_send_message" or anything you like.
STEP 4: Use the same process for "VISIBILITY Trigger" as shown in video.
There is no class "wpc7-mail-sent-ok" because Contact Form 7 update
@@Team-yp6ch Drop here your website URL containing the form page, will check.
almost 2 years after release still 100% helpful! Thanks
Excellent! We used method 3 to track a multi-step form within a pop-up! Thanks

I am using the Thank You page conversion tracking method just to avoid the error. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Cheers Mate!
ha... just uploaded the new icons for channel members. Thanks for your continuous support! You are awesome
Great! As a follow-up video, you can show how a person can import the goal from GoogleAnalytics to GoogleAds (atleast for technique 1) so that they can track their conversions through their ads.
Good idea, I'll try and make a video on this topic.
Outstanding tutorial, as always! Thank you, Julian!
Great video. As always, thank you Julian!
Thank You so much! I did not understand how to track the element visibility after submitting the form! You are the best teacher!
Best content i've seen so far about Google Ads! Thanks a lot :)
Best educational video ever. Thank you for sharing these valuable info with us
Super thankful! Thanks for making this video
That 3rd option really saved my ass. Your the man!!
Thank-you Julian for this and all of the other tips
Great video, it just saved me hours of exploration, the third one worked out perfectly and this can work in 99% of cases. Thank you!
Great video - helped me so much with my GTM issues.
Advanced version: Is there a way to connect events and formsubmits?
--> The basic idea is, I only want an event to fire when a form is successfully submitted - so I don't have any events tracking that did not end up in a submitted form.

Very helpful! In particular the part on how to enable form variables so I could figure out what GTM has access to for triggering. Thank you!
Thank you, the third option really helped a lot for a particular website.
Covering all aspects, It's fantastic
amazing once again! great thanks!!!
The element visibility was the only one which worked perfectly! Thanks Julian :) You are the best !
You are excellent tutor ;-)
thanks
Hi Julian, what if the Form ID and Form Target fields are blank, what variable can I use to trigger the tag?
You can use form classes, assuming the field is indicative of that specific form (IE, no other form uses the specific name or numbers associated with that form). Just use whatever variable that won't change and stays the same. Form ID for my case changed every time so I used form classes and it worked.

Hi, that Vid is awesome.
The second way is the best for me.
Problem is: if the user filled out wrong and he gets an error, the conversion fires to analytics anyway. That is a problem for my client. Form isn't on a specific page.

yea. that's when you can customize even further and make your tracking more accurate. One method might work better other don't

Love watching your videos.
If I am trying to track a multiple choice tracking and want data on each choice - any suggestions how I can do that in GA?

Hey Julian! This is really good! Could you please make a video that explains how to track a normal dropdown menu? Thanks!
Hey Julian Thanks for this video. How can we setup tracking for forms which use the same page as the thank you page? So that the forms submissions are shown separately as conversions.
This was an excellent tutorial for tracking form conversions. How would you track the conversion rate of a form? Maybe page view versus submit success?
yes, thats a start. but you can always optimize and get closer to real numbers (eg. interaction of first form field / submissions)
MeasureSchool Thanks for the reply. So tracking if someone starts to fill out the form would give a better conversion indication over just a page view? That makes sense.

Hey Julian, can you go over how the element visibility works with GA4 properties? Thanks
nothing different there. The trigger is in GTM, not in GA4. You just send the data to GA4
thanks!!!
Great video. Can we use GTM for method 1 also or we need to use GA only? Thanks.
Hi Julian, great video.
