Hey there, can someone tell me how can I track form submissions in Google Analytics 4?
Is this something that I can achieve or not technically possible?
I’m familiarized with GA4 and Google Tag Manager, also configured GA4 in Shopify and have Klaviyo script running on all my pages, it’s working with UA but not in GA4...
Please help! 🙏🏽

Hi
Granted, I’m still learning as well, so please let me know what you think.

I thought the same about form submissions tracked automatically but take a look at all the events I have on GA4 for that account:
I don’t know why it’s missing and when I configure that event with a custom event from Google Tag Manager it doesn’t either appear. It’s weird because I’ve configured other events like “internal_link_click” the same way but this is not working for me.
Let me know if something else I may be missing.
Thanks!

Hi
Have you seen this Help Center article?
Although Google Analytics 4 ushered in some changes, this might be a good place to start and gather some context.

Set Up Google Analytics 4: Make sure you have a Google Analytics 4 property set up for your website. If you haven't set up GA4 yet, you can create a new property in your Google Analytics account and follow the instructions provided by Google.
Install the Global Site Tag (gtag.js): Add the Google Analytics tracking code to your website's pages. This code, also known as the Global Site Tag (gtag.js), allows you to track various user interactions, including form submissions. Place the tracking code within the <head> section of your website's HTML code. Ensure that the code is added to all pages where you want to track form submissions.
Add Event Tracking to Form Submission: Identify the form on your website that you want to track submissions for. Add an event tracking snippet to the form submission code. For example, you can use JavaScript to listen for the form submission event and trigger the tracking code. Here's an example of how to do this using JavaScript:
Verify Tracking in Real-Time: After implementing the event tracking code, you can verify if the form submission events are being tracked correctly in real-time. Open your website and submit the form. Then, in your Google Analytics account, go to the Real-Time section, and navigate to Events to check if the form submission events are being recorded.
Create Custom Reports and Goals (Optional): In Google Analytics 4, you can create custom reports and goals based on the form submission events to gain deeper insights into user behavior and conversions. Explore the Google Analytics interface to set up custom reports or goals that align with your tracking needs.
Hi zaliasber,
That seams something generated from an AI, and also the link you placed looks spammy.
Thanks anyway.

Hi
Is there any news from the DEV team on this?
I’m seeing that this article is still talking about UA, which will no longer track data soon https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005077027
Need help with this soon, please!
Thanks,

Hi
No updates yet, but I can assure you this is on our Product Team’s radar so I have the thread marked for update if anything changes!

We’ve done a lot of work converting things over to GA4
In theory you should be able to use the gtag code from here modified slightly
https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005077027
that looks like a 10 min job to modify that tbh to send data to ga4
but needs testing etc
I will post an update here when done if I remember - scheduled to do next week on a site
the event structure is slightly different on GA4 and I’d advise sending individual events where possible and ignoring event parameters like there on that guide (purely from a reporting point of view this makes life easier - we have backtracked on event parameters in ga4).
Just as an update
if you use the gtag code from here as is
https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005077027
it will track any embedded forms in a basic way with ga4
assuming there are no js errors etc on site
however if you have forms e.g. from shopify theme / app etc
you’ll need to make your own event listeners / send your own events on form submit etc
personally I think the event parameters are a waste of space so you want want to chunk them out into separate events e.g.
- we ditched form open and form closed as means nowt to us
- but moved form id to be in the event title
- fewer events but more meaningful to us to know as form id in reports
so yeah
klaviyo’s docs are correct when you use the gtag code
but they should clearly state it’s for GA4
and I’d advise moving data into event name instead of parameters as it will make reporting more meaningful / permanent
