Hidden fields are useful to track contact sources when they fill out a form and prevent spambot form submissions.
Hidden fields are text-only custom fields not visible to contacts submitting the form that can be used to pass info about contacts into your account when they submit your form
They can only be used with Inline forms in ActiveCampaign and cannot be added to the floating box, floating bar, or modal forms.
How to set them up:
Click the "Website" button in the left-hand menu to access the Forms overview page.
Select the form you want to edit and click the "Edit" button.
In the right panel, click "Fields," then select “My Fields” and click "Add a custom field."
Enter the field name, choose the appropriate group from the "Group" dropdown, select "hidden field" as the field type, and click "Add" to save it.
Locate the hidden field you created in the list and drag it onto the form in the builder.
