    Does it work only with the source code of the form embedded in the page? It seems that it doesn't work with the form embedded with iframe

    Hi Roberto,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Yes, I'm afraid this setup only works for forms added to a website using the form’s source code. I went ahead and escalated your request to our developers, but when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Mary, I also think so

    I tried to follow the steps, but I can see that, at the moment of the form is sent, any action is tracked by the GTM using the preview mode.

    At the same time, as my form is big and heavy, I'm not able to embed it as source code.

    For these reasons I kindly ask if there are other way to track the form sending with GTM or GA, because I need to track advertising performances.

    Many thanks

    Hi Roberto,

    Thanks for getting back to us. I am sorry you are having trouble with this. Can you try using the Google Analytics widget and then enter your Universal Tracking ID and then embed your code using the iFrame code and see if it works?

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Please upgrade the Google Analytics Widget and make it compatible with GA4. Really need it, thanks.

    Perhaps using your own thank you page which fires the google tag for GA4 to work is the best answer.
