How Form Tracking Works

Learn how the Cometly Pixel automatically captures form field data from forms.

Updated this week

The Cometly Pixel simplifies form tracking by seamlessly capturing key form field data in real time as users engage with your forms. Using the email address as a unique identifier, Cometly maps events back to the correct buyer journey, ensuring that every event sent with an email address is accurately attributed to its source.


What Form Field Data Does Cometly Track?

The Cometly Pixel automatically captures the following fields from your forms:

  • Full Name

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email Address

  • Phone Number


How It Works

  • Live Data Capture: The Cometly Pixel automatically captures form data in real time as users type—even before submission.

  • Event Mapping: The email address is used to link events to the correct buyer journey.

  • Clear Attribution: Each lead or conversion is accurately tied to its source, providing you with actionable insights into your campaign performance.


What This Means for You

  • Real-Time Lead Capture
    Gain access to valuable lead data as users engage with your forms—no submission required.

  • Enhanced Visibility
    Instantly track customer journeys and see how your ads are performing in driving meaningful interactions.

Third-Party Embedded Forms

If you are using third-party embedded forms, (e.g., you placed a code snippet on your web page from a third-party app), then you may need to take additional steps to ensure the Cometly Pixel is automatically capturing form field data. We have help articles for each of our supported third-party forms. If you do not see your third-party form listed, please reach out to support.


(Advanced) Form Field Identifiers

The Cometly Pixel will automatically capture the first name, last name, full name, email address, and phone number on almost all native website forms. There are rare cases with custom forms where the Cometly Pixel does not automatically capture the form field data. If you are not using a third-party embedded form, and the form is native on your website, you may need to edit the form field id's so the Cometly Pixel can capture data.
