Quill Forms is the WordPress form plugin built explicitly as a Typeform alternative, conversational layouts, generous free tier, polished feel, and a growing add-on library. The thing missing from the equation, like every form plugin, is marketing attribution. SourceLoop adds that without changing any of your Quill setup.
Three steps, under ten minutes, attribution flowing on every submission afterwards.
What SourceLoop captures from Quill Forms
For each Quill Forms submission, SourceLoop attaches:
- Acquisition channel of the visitor (organic, paid, referral, social, direct)
- Full UTM parameter set from the landing URL
- Pages visited in order before the submission
- Time on site before the form fill
- Number of distinct sessions preceding conversion
- Email + name captured from the Quill Forms fields
- First-touch landing page of the visitor’s history
- Source attributed to the converting session
- Device, country, browser
Before you start
You’ll need:
- A SourceLoop workspace (free trial)
- WordPress admin access (or another way to add markup to
<head>) - A Quill Forms form embedded on a published WordPress page
Step 1: Install SourceLoop’s snippet on your WordPress site
From SourceLoop, click Setup -> Tracking code in the sidebar and copy the snippet.
Add it to the <head> of your WordPress site:
- A header-injection plugin (Insert Headers and Footers, WPCode)
- Your active theme’s
header.phpimmediately before</head> - A “Custom Code” panel inside any SEO plugin
- Google Tag Manager firing on All Pages
Make sure the snippet loads on every page where a Quill Form might appear.
Step 2: Confirm the form is on a published page
Quill Forms doesn’t require any per-form switch to integrate with SourceLoop. Once the snippet loads, every Quill Form on every published page that includes the snippet becomes attributable.
A quick verification pass:
- The Quill Forms form is on a published page or post
- The form collects an email, used by SourceLoop as the lead key
- Aggressive script-defer rules aren’t reshuffling SourceLoop after the form’s submit handler
Step 3: Run a verification submission
Open your Quill Forms page in an incognito tab with ?utm_source=test&utm_medium=verify&utm_campaign=quill-check glued to the URL. Submit a real entry using an email you control.
Within seconds, the lead should appear at the top of the Contacts Hub in SourceLoop with the three test UTM values pinned to the record.

Frequently asked questions
-
Does this work with the free Quill Forms plugin?
Yes. Tracking runs in the browser and works the same on Quill Forms' free version as on any Pro tier.
-
Quill Forms is built as a Typeform-style conversational experience. Does that affect tracking?
No. Whichever Quill Forms layout the visitor sees, classic or one-question-at-a-time, the final submission event carries the attribution data exactly the same.
-
I use Quill Forms with payment fields (Stripe). Are paid submissions tracked?
Yes. Once the payment completes and Quill Forms records the submission, SourceLoop attaches attribution to the lead. The payment flow itself runs inside Quill Forms, untouched.
-
My Quill Forms send data to Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, and Slack. Does any of that change?
No. Your existing Quill Forms integrations continue to fire as configured. SourceLoop captures attribution independently on its end without disrupting any outbound flow.
-
Can SourceLoop track multi-step Quill Forms with conditional logic?
Yes. The number of steps and the logic between them runs entirely inside Quill Forms. SourceLoop only attaches attribution to the final submission, so all flow variants get captured the same way.
