Tracking Registrations with Google Ads

Hi Guys,

Quick question (hopefully). I just got off the phone with Google Adwords and I’m trying to track the registration submit button clicks back to the Ads. We were having trouble figuring out the variable needed for tracking the message that appears once you click the submit button. She said that I need to ask you to “define the variable of the Sign Up button”. Or the class elements / class name for the button. Hope that sounds right!

    Hi George,

    It’s the registration page: https://fundraising.happyvalleysoupcompany.com/fundraiser-registration/

    I’m using the default itthinx Affiliate Pro form.

    Thanks,
    -Erica

      Hi Erica,

      I trust you are feeling awesome today!

      Thank you for sharing the link to the form.

      The button can be identified with the name attribute for the element. affiliates-registration-submit.

      I wish you a very fun and productive day ahead.
      Kindest regards,
      Eugen.

        Hi Eugen,

        I checked with Google, and that isn’t the info we need. We need to define the variable of the Sign Up button. Or the class elements / class name for the button. Something like what you gave me earlier in this thread or what you get when you inspect the “View Demo Store” at the top of the Registration screen (et_pb_button):

        View demo store

        Or the class associated with the paragraph that appears once the submit button is clicked. Could the class for that be affiliates_thanks_sign_up_text? I found that in my php file from when I changed the paragraph message.

        Sorry to keep bugging you, but my client needs to be able to track this to justify Google Ad spending. Originally, I wanted the registration submit button to go to a Thank You page so I could track that page view. You indicated that wasn’t possible. If that happens to still be an option, let me know. Or if you can think of some other way that google analytics can track this, I’m open to ideas.

        Thanks,
        -Erica

          Hi Erica,

          Thank you for the update!

          I trust you are well and safe today!

          Okay use this class then: sign-up.

          Also here’s a link to a screenshot for the fundraiser registration button.

          STAY SAFE and I wish you a very fine and amazing rest of your week!

          Eugen.

            We tried “sign-up” and it did not work.

              Hi,

              I’m checking to see if you’ve had a chance to review my response. The first thing we tried before reaching out was using ‘sign-up’ and that didn’t work.

              Can you help me redirect the submit button to a new thank you page? That would solve the issue.

              As a feature request, I would ask that you add the ability to indicate a thank you page for the form. I’d really like to use your form vs adding another plugin for the registration. I’m guessing this functionality may be available with one of the form plugins you include in your documentation and if I must, I’ll swap out the form.

                Hi Erica,

                I trust you are feeling awesome and that the new week has started with great promise!

                Yes, I did have a look at the issue, and considering your new request, here’s what I can recommend:

                Instead of using just the [affiliates_registration] shortcode, you can add two of our attributes to the shortcode to redirect the user upon sign up to the desired page:

                Here are the two attributes to use:
                * redirect: Whether to redirect after registration, default to “false”. and should be set to “true” if a redirect using the redirect_to=”…” attribute is desired.
                * redirect_to: Redirection URL used to redirect to a page after registration. Used when redirect=”true”.

                Hence the final shortcode on this page, https://fundraising.happyvalleysoupcompany.com/fundraiser-registration/ should be:

                [affiliates_registration redirect="true" redirect_to="your_desired_page_to_redirect_to" ].

                Here’s a link to the shortcodes:
                * http://docs.itthinx.com/document/affiliates-pro/shortcodes/

                I remain available to help if you have any further inquiries.

                In the meantime, I wish you a very fine and productive day ahead!

                STAY SAFE!
                Kindest regards,
                Eugen.

                  Hi Eugen!

                  Thank you so much! That worked brilliantly! I’m going to apply the same short-code to another site I have your plugin installed on, as well.

                  I really appreciate all of your time finding me a solution for this.

                  Thanks again and have a good week!
                  -Erica

    Hi Erica,

    I trust you are feeling great!

    Thank you so much for patronizing our plugins all these years. It brings us great joy to have you as our valued customer.

    Please could you specify the link to the page you with the submit button? I quickly took a tour of the site and noticed the contact us page. If that is the one, then here’s the button:

    class-name:et_pb_contact_submit
    name: et_builder_submit_button

    I remain available to help if you have any further inquiries.

    Once again, I must thank you for using our plugins, I wish you a very fun and productive week ahead.

    STAY SAFE!
    Warm regards,
    Eugen.
