Form field identification
One of the requirements for form fields to be recognised by Exatom is that they have one or both of the following HTML attributes:
- name="your-form-field-name"
- id="your-form-field-id"
This uniquely identifies each field and allow our analytics engine to distinguish events for each field.
Another best practice and recommendation is to technically surround or group all your form fields within a
form HTML tag, more information in our
linked article.
<form name="your-from-name" id="your-from-id">
<input type="email" name="emailAddressExample">
...
</form>
