How Do I create a custom webpage form?

11. Redirect is used when you need to redirect the visitor to another page on your website after they submittted the form. This is common to use for conversion tracking and a common redirect page would be /thank-you.   Using a redirect page is a best practice as it allows the visitor to know the form submitted correctly and any possible next steps. You would place the next steps on the /thank-you page.

Installing Short Code on your WordPress Page

On whatever webpage you want to install a contact form, you can do so by adding 1 snippet of short code and then adding your own CSS for styling and design.

1. Add this line of code to the webpage for your contact form [fs_form form=”form number here” privacy_url=”privacy url here”]
   1. It is very important and a best practice to have a website privacy policy. We recommend placing a link to the privacy on the contact form with the following text “No Spam, Privacy Policy”
2. On the top of the Form Page, there is a Form ID Number. You must enter that number in the short code. It should look like [fs_form form=”999″ privacy_url=”privacy url here”]
   1. You can use the same form number and contact form on any webpage or you can create new contact forms.
3. Once you install the code on the webpage, save and publish. Go to the webpage you just added the form to and test the contact form. Upon submission, you should have a message in the inbox and you should also see the form inside of Funnel Science under Interactions.

Setting up Google Analytics for Conversion Tracking

1. If you have a form that is dedicated to a specific channel such as AdWords, you can create conversion tracking specific to the form. To do that you need to have a Google Analytics account.
2. Make sure the Category, Action, Label and Value are exactly identical in Funnel Science as what you have entered into Google Analytics Goals
3. Callback url is for an External API only. You can use this field if you want to post Funnel Science form data to your database or CRM
