Custom trackers

  • Custom trackers provide a JavaScript API for capturing leads from any event source.
  • Use when form trackers or call trackers don’t fit your use case (e.g., AJAX submissions, button clicks, chat widgets).
  • Developers can call the API with custom data and full attribution is automatically added.

Creating a custom tracker

  • Navigate to the ‘Trackers’ section of your container using the top menu.
  • Click the “CUSTOM TRACKER” button to create a new tracker.

Configuration options

Tracker name - A name to identify this tracker. Used to segment leads.

Require email - Marks leads without email addresses as invalid.

Alert users - Send email notifications to specified users when new leads arrive.

JavaScript API

After creating a custom tracker, use the following JavaScript API to capture leads:

document.createLead({
    email: "user@example.com",
    phone: "+1234567890",
    name: "John Smith",
    // Add any custom fields
    custom_field: "custom value"
});
  • The createLead() function can be called anywhere on your page after the container snippet loads.
  • Pass an object with any fields you want to capture.

Data captured

In addition to your custom fields, the following are automatically captured:

  • Google Analytics cookies (GA and GA4)
  • Facebook tracking cookies (fbc, fbp)
  • UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign, term, content)
  • Google Click IDs (gclid, dclid)
  • Referrer URL
  • Device and browser information
  • IP address and geolocation

Common use cases

  • Chat widgets - Capture leads when a chat conversation completes.
  • Forms not supported by the form tracker - Track submissions from forms that don’t dispatch a ‘submit’ event.

Testing

  • Call document.createLead() from your browser console with test data.
  • Verify the lead appears in your dashboard with all expected fields.
  • Check that attribution data is correctly captured.
