Using Referer Data to Post to Salesforce from a web form. (1 reply)

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been answered in some way or if I have missed something, I have taken an hour or so to look around and work out if I can use Piwik for the purpose I need.

We have a lead generation form that directly posts to Salesforce. I need to automatically include "Lead Source" which would be equal to the original referer information of the visitor in the form so that it includes that when the lead is created in Salesforce. Essentially identifying if a lead is from Adwords, Bing Ads, Organic, Email or from social media.

I'm using Joomla as my web based CMS platform that has a web2lead form posting into Salesforce.

Is there any way to access the variables that hold this information to include them in a hidden field on the form before it posts?

I hope I've made this as clear as I can but if there are any questions or anyone has the answer then I'll be checking back often, I just want to make sure I can accomplish this before I go through the installation and configuration phases and then find I'm at another dead end.

Cheers and thanks for your time in reading this!

Stuart.
