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.
