የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

Do I need to create hidden fields in my Gravity Forms?

No! That’s the magic of v2.0. The COURIER system automatically injects UTM data into webhook submissions. You don’t need to create any fields.

What UTM parameters are tracked?

All 8 parameters:
* referrer – Previous page URL
* utm_source – Campaign source
* utm_medium – Marketing medium
* utm_campaign – Campaign name
* utm_term – Keywords
* gclid – Google Click ID
* gbraid – Google Brand Engagement (iOS 14+)
* wbraid – Web to App tracking (iOS 14+)

How long are UTM parameters stored?

UTM data is stored in cookies for the duration you specify in settings (1-365 days, default is 7 days).

Does this work with other form plugins besides Gravity Forms?

The COURIER system is specifically designed for Gravity Forms webhooks. The COLLECTOR (cookie tracking) works with any form plugin, but automatic webhook injection requires Gravity Forms.

Is the plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin uses functional cookies necessary for tracking campaign attribution. You should include UTM tracking in your privacy policy and cookie notice.

Can I exclude certain webhooks from UTM injection?

Yes! In the plugin settings, add webhook URLs (one per line) to the “Excluded Webhook URLs” field. This is useful for internal notifications or universal webhooks.

Does this affect site performance?

No! The plugin is optimized for performance with minimal JavaScript and efficient server-side processing.

Will this work with Elementor popups?

Yes! The COLLECTOR includes special support for Elementor popup forms with automatic field population after popup opens.

Can I see the UTM data somewhere?

UTM data is stored in cookies and automatically populates Gravity Forms fields. You can view this data in your form submissions or integrate with analytics tools.
