Hidden Fields: Track Traffic and Block Bots

In this section, you will find insights on forms' hidden fields in ActiveCampaign.

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.
