Can I track my subscriber source?

Yes, there are ways to track your subscriber's source so you know how and where they subscribed to your newsletter.

1- If you go to Lists => Consent list you can see the source of a contact:

• List import: Contact was uploaded through a CSV file.

• Subscription: Contact subscribed himself through a sign-up form

• Manually added: Contact was added manually through eFlyerMaker

2- These next methods requires a little bit of HTML manipulation:

Track the current page

document.location

• Add a subscriber_source field to your list (Or any other name you see fit, there is no restriction)

• In the HTML source code of your sign-up form, make the field hidden
   <input type="hidden" name="Subscriber_source" id="Subscriber_source"> 
  The name attribute is the name of your field in your contact list. In this example, it's Subscriber_source.

• In the HTML after the form, add this script:

<script type="text/javascript">
                document.getElementById("Subscriber_source").value = document.location||'location undef'; 
        </script>

In a case where the browser was unable to to track the referrer, it will be marked as location undef.

Track the Referrer

document.referrer;

• Add a REF field to your list (Or any other name you see fit, there is no restriction)

• In the HTML source code of your sign-up form, make the field hidden
   <input type="hidden" name="REF" id="REF"> 
  The name attribute is the name of your field in your contact list. In this example, it's REF.

• In the HTML after the form, add this script:

<script type="text/javascript">
                document.getElementById("REF").value = document.referrer||'No Referrer'; 
        </script>

In a case where the browser was unable to to track the referrer, it will be marked as No referrer.

Track URL parameters

What goes after the ? .

Example: http://www.mybusinesswebsite.com/signupform.html?source=google We want to return the google value to the form

• Add a subscriber_source field to your list (Or any other name you see fit, there is no restriction)

• In the HTML source code of your sign-up form, make the field hidden
   <input type="hidden" name="Subscriber_source" id="Subscriber_source"> 
  The name attribute is the name of your field in your contact list. In this example, it's Subscriber_source.

• In the HTML after the form, add this script:

        <script type="text/javascript">
                var getQueryString = function ( field, url ) {
                        var href = url ? url : window.location.href;
                        var reg = new RegExp( '[?&]' + field + '=([^&#]*)', 'i' );
                        var string = reg.exec(href);
                        return string ? string[1] : null;
                };
                function setValue(){
                        document.getElementById("Subscriber_source").value = getQueryString('this')||'No query'; 
                }
                setValue();
        </script>

In a case where the browser was unable to to track the referrer, it will be marked as No Query.
