# How to track lead source in QuestionScout Layer marketing attribution on top of every QuestionScout form so each response carries the source, campaign, and journey that produced it. Source: https://sourceloop.ai/help/track-lead-source-in-questionscout/ Updated: 2026-05-28 --- QuestionScout sits in the prosumer form-builder tier, deep logic, generous customisation, professional themes, and a famous AppSumo lifetime deal. The blind spot it shares with every form tool is acquisition data, you see the answers, never the channel. This guide solves that for QuestionScout submissions. Three steps, around five minutes, no configuration required inside QuestionScout itself. ## What SourceLoop captures from QuestionScout For each QuestionScout form fill, SourceLoop attaches: - **Marketing source** (organic, paid, referral, social, direct) - **Full UTM parameter set** parsed from the landing URL - **Sequence of pages browsed** before submission - **Time spent on site** during the visit (or visits) leading up - **Repeat-visit count** before they finally responded - **Email and name** pulled from your QuestionScout fields - **First-touch landing page** the lead originally arrived on - **Source attributed to the converting session** specifically - **Device type, country, browser** ## Before you start You'll need: - A **SourceLoop workspace** ([free trial](https://app.sourceloop.ai/sign-up)) - **Edit access** to the page where your QuestionScout form is embedded - A **QuestionScout account** with a form published and embeddable ## Step 1: Install the SourceLoop snippet Inside SourceLoop, head to **Setup -> Tracking code** in the left sidebar and copy the snippet. ![SourceLoop Setup page with the tracking code snippet ready to copy](/help/screenshots/sourceloop-tracking-code-script.png) Add it to the `` of the site (or pages) hosting your QuestionScout embed. WordPress: header-injection plugin or `header.php`. Webflow: Project Settings -> Custom Code -> Head Code. Framer: site-level Custom Code. Static sites: your global layout template. Tag manager: an All Pages tag. The snippet just needs to load on every page where a QuestionScout form might appear. ## Step 2: Embed your QuestionScout form on a tracked page In QuestionScout, open your form, click **Share -> Embed**, and copy the embed snippet. Paste it into the page where the form should appear, and make sure that page also has the SourceLoop snippet from step 1. > **QuestionScout-hosted form URLs aren't attributable** > A bare QuestionScout public form URL (the share link that hosts the form on QuestionScout's domain) skips your site entirely, so SourceLoop never gets a chance to see the visitor's source. Route campaigns to a page on your domain that embeds the form instead. ## Step 3: Send a test response Visit your form's page in an **incognito tab**, append `?utm_source=test&utm_medium=verify&utm_campaign=questionscout-check` to the URL, and submit a real response with an email you can access. Within seconds, the new lead should appear at the top of the **Contacts Hub** in SourceLoop, with the test UTM values pinned to the record. ## Where to see QuestionScout submissions in SourceLoop ### Contacts Hub Each response becomes a contact row at [app.sourceloop.ai/contacts](https://app.sourceloop.ai/contacts). Drill into a contact to see their entire pre-response journey, every page they read, every campaign that touched them. ![SourceLoop Contacts Hub showing a QuestionScout submission with the lead's full journey](/help/screenshots/sourceloop-lead-journey-demo.webp) ### Attribution dashboard For the rollup, [app.sourceloop.ai/dashboards/traffic](https://app.sourceloop.ai/dashboards/traffic) groups QuestionScout submissions by source, medium, and campaign. A quick read on what's bringing in respondents vs. what's just bringing in traffic. ![SourceLoop attribution dashboard with QuestionScout submissions grouped by source and campaign](/help/screenshots/sourceloop-attribution-dashboard.webp) ### Funnel reports In [app.sourceloop.ai/funnels](https://app.sourceloop.ai/funnels/), build a funnel ending in "QuestionScout submission". Cut by source, landing page, or device to expose your highest-converting paths. ![SourceLoop funnel report ending in a QuestionScout submission conversion step](/help/screenshots/sourceloop-funnel.png) If paid acquisition is in the mix, forward QuestionScout submissions to **Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn as offline conversions** so the auction algorithms train on real form fills instead of clicks.

No. Everything you've built inside QuestionScout (skip logic, calculations, hidden fields, custom themes) runs the same way. SourceLoop simply tags the final submission with marketing data, it doesn't interact with the form internals. ### Does this work on the QuestionScout AppSumo lifetime deal? Yes. The tier you're on doesn't matter, SourceLoop runs in the browser, completely outside QuestionScout's billing tiers and feature gates. ### I use QuestionScout's embed code on my landing page. Is that the right path? Yes. The embed-on-your-site model is exactly what attribution needs, the visitor lands on a SourceLoop-tracked page, then fills the form there. The QuestionScout-hosted public form URL would skip your tracking. ### Are my QuestionScout webhook and Zapier integrations affected? No. Submissions continue to fire your webhooks, Zaps, and any other connected destinations exactly as configured. SourceLoop captures the lead independently on its own backend. ### Can QuestionScout's "Hidden Fields" feature be used to pass UTMs into the submission record? You can do that natively in QuestionScout, but it's not required for SourceLoop. SourceLoop already captures UTMs at the session level and attaches them to the lead automatically, so you don't have to wire hidden fields specifically for attribution.
