Track UTMs in Saleskick

UTM attribution overview

This guide explains how to track UTMs and full HandL attribution data in Saleskick with HandL UTM Grabber V3. It helps you capture UTM source, medium, campaign, term, content, click IDs, referrer, landing page data, and first-touch fields, then pass them into the Saleskick iframe so they appear on submissions and in automations.

Prerequisites

  • HandL UTM Grabber V3 installed and active on your WordPress site
  • A Saleskick form embed code from Saleskick > Integrations > Embed
  • UTM Grabber loaded on the same page before the Saleskick script runs (the plugin does this automatically on WordPress)

How it works

Saleskick ships a JavaScript embed that opens your form in a modal iframe. By default that iframe URL does not include your stored attribution cookies. The adapted embed below:

  1. Reads tracked parameters from the global handl_utm object (UTM Grabber V3)
  2. Waits until first_handlID is available so first-touch data is included
  3. Merges those values with any parameters already in the page URL
  4. Appends the merged query string to the Saleskick iframe src before the form loads

After a visitor submits, Saleskick stores the parameters under Application > URL Parameters in the submission detail view. The same data is exposed to automations as {{submission.shareQueryParams}} for webhooks and CRM integrations.

Step 1 — Paste the adapted embed code

Replace your default Saleskick embed with the code below. Update the constants at the top (FORM_SRC, button text, colors, etc.) to match your form.

Important: This version uses handl_utm (UTM Grabber V3). Do not use window.HandL.getAll() — that API belongs to a different tracking platform.

The full production embed from Saleskick may include additional modal styling and mobile responsive behavior. When adapting your own copy, only change the attribution block: replace any window.HandL / HandL.getAll() references with handl_utm as shown above.

Step 2 — Test with UTMs in the landing URL

Visit your landing page with test UTMs, for example:

https://yoursite.com/landing-page?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=test

Open the browser console and look for [Saleskick UTM Grabber] log messages. Submit a test lead through the Saleskick form.

Step 3 — Verify parameters in Saleskick

Open the submission in Saleskick and go to the Application tab. Under URL Parameters you should see values such as:

  • utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content
  • fbclid, gclid, or other click IDs when present
  • handlID, first_handlID, handl_ref, handl_landing_page, handl_url
  • traffic_source, organic_source_str, user_agent

If parameters are missing, confirm UTM Grabber is active, cookies are not blocked, and the page was loaded with UTMs before opening the Saleskick modal.
