The Source Field in forms and surveys is an essential component for collecting details about how respondents found or accessed your form. Knowing the origin of your responses offers important insights into the success of your marketing initiatives, advertising campaigns, or overall outreach strategies.
Adding the source element
You can find the element under Quick Add. You can drag and drop the field in the form. On the right side, you can enter the value in the source field. We have entered the value as "sample lead source". This field will be hidden and won't be shown to the users.
Use Case of this field
After the form submission, you can see the value under source as shown below.
This will also be shown under contacts as Contact Source.
Other use case of this field
You can also pass this field as a query parameter.
For Example:
https://link.platform.form.com/widget/form/WKEnUOXEz9J3cpcQyc1M?source=alternative_source
You can pass any source by adding ?source=alternative_source in the form/survey link.
This will override the value provided inside the form builder and the submission will include the source as an alternative source instead of a sample lead source.
