[#653] Pass hidden parameter viaurl

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to pass a variable in the URL to be stored with the customer booking. Like a hidden form field.

Ex: I would create a custom field “traffic_source” that wouldn’t be visible on the website. And then I’d like to pass the traffic source in the url:
Santé Medic | Scheduling and Booking Website to be stored with the booking.

Thanks
Henri

You can use intake forms plugin to store additional data.

Are you sure it will be possible to pass via URL and HIDE the field on the customer form? I’m reading on it and its not clear it can be done. Do i just pass in the url like this ?new_fied_name=data

no, it is impossible to pass something via url. But possible to pass intake form values via API

You mean implement my own form via API right?

Hello and good day to you,

Henry, I am trying to track GCLID, I think you might’\ve solved this one.

*We want to have our booking and capture GCLIDs.

Usually google offline conversion tracking is done through passing a HIDDEN field with UTM parameters into the booking form.

These are the apps we are comparing and hoping simplybook.me would be the right one.

*Have you cracked this nut yet?
