--- title: How to see which Typeform submissions become conversions in Google Analytics description: Typeform can send form activity to Google Analytics, but to see which submissions go on to convert you need a shared link between the two, such as hidden fields that carry each visitor's campaign and analytics ID into the form, and an AI marketer can set that up, match the records, and report which sources produce leads that convert. slug: /how-to/see-which-typeform-submissions-become-conversions-in-google-analytics page_type: playbook lead_prompt: How do I see which Typeform submissions turn into conversions in Google Analytics? target_prompts: - How can I use an AI marketing agent to see which Typeform submissions become conversions in Google Analytics? entity: Kite category: AI marketing agent author: Devon Wells and Kite date_published: '2026-10-20' date_modified: '2026-10-23' related_use_cases: - /use-cases/improve-website-conversion.md - /use-cases/lead-magnet.md integrations: - name: Typeform page: /integrations/typeform.md - name: Google Analytics page: /integrations/google-analytics.md --- # Playbook # How to see which Typeform submissions become conversions in Google Analytics ## Key Takeaways - Typeform knows who submitted a form and what they answered, while Google Analytics knows where visitors came from and what they did on your site. Seeing which submissions convert means connecting those two records. - Typeform's own tracking settings send form activity to Google Analytics, which lets you count submissions as a key event. That tells you how many people submitted, but not which of those people went on to buy, sign up, or book. - The link between the two tools is a set of hidden fields in the form that carry each visitor's campaign details, landing page, and Google Analytics client ID into their Typeform response. - Kite checks your form and analytics setup, adds the missing tracking, reads your Typeform responses and Google Analytics reports, and matches them by visitor or by campaign and date. - You end up with a report that shows which forms, campaigns, and landing pages produce submissions that go on to convert, along with the change Kite would make first. ## How do I see which Typeform submissions turn into conversions in Google Analytics? To see which Typeform submissions turn into conversions in Google Analytics, you need two things: Typeform activity recorded in Google Analytics, and a shared identifier that ties each Typeform response to the visit and the later conversion it belongs to. The first part is the familiar setup. The second part is the one most guides skip, and it's the part that answers the question. Here's why both are needed. Typeform stores each response with the person's answers and the times they landed on the form and submitted it. Google Analytics 4 stores visits, traffic sources, and events, such as a purchase or a completed sign-up, that you mark as key events. Key events are what Google Analytics now calls conversions. Google Analytics is anonymous by design, and its terms don't allow you to send it names or email addresses. So the two tools can't recognize the same person on their own. Typeform gives you a starting point. In a form's tracking settings, you can add your Google Analytics measurement ID or your Google Tag Manager container ID, and Typeform then sends events to your property as people view and submit the form. When your form is embedded on your own site, Typeform's embed code can also report each submission back to the page, and many teams use that to send a form submission event through Google Tag Manager. Once that event reaches Google Analytics, you can mark it as a key event and see submissions by source, campaign, and landing page. That setup counts submissions well, but it stops there. It tells you that a paid search campaign produced 40 form submissions. It doesn't tell you which of those 40 people later bought, booked a call, or started a trial, because the submission event and the later conversion aren't tied to a Typeform response. A form shared as a standalone typeform.com link adds a second gap: the visitor leaves your site, so the original traffic source can get lost on the way. Hidden fields close both gaps. A hidden field is a value the form collects without asking, usually from the page address. When your form carries the visitor's UTM parameters, which are the campaign tags on the link they clicked, along with their landing page and Google Analytics client ID, which is the anonymous ID Google Analytics gives each browser, every response holds the same keys Google Analytics uses. With those keys in place, you can line up a submission with the visit before it and the conversions after it. A good result answers a practical question: which forms, campaigns, and landing pages bring in people who go on to convert, not just people who fill in a form. Kite does that work for you. It checks what your setup is missing, adds the tracking, matches the records, and tells you what the numbers mean for where you spend. ## How to get started Start by asking Kite which forms and sources produce the submissions that convert, in the Kite web app or in Slack: > "Which of our Typeform submissions turned into paid sign-ups in Google Analytics last quarter?" You can also point Kite at one form or one campaign: > "Check whether people who fill in our demo request form go on to start a trial, and break it down by campaign." Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. By the time you ask, it already knows what your company sells and what a conversion means for your business, so it can propose the key event to measure, such as a purchase or a trial start, and the period to look at. Confirm those, or tell Kite the event you care about, and it starts. You'll need to connect two accounts through OAuth. Connect your Typeform account so Kite can read your forms and responses and change a form's tracking settings. Connect your Google Analytics account so Kite can read your property's reports, events, and custom definitions. Reading reports is routine work, so Kite does it and tells you what it found. When the job needs a change to your form or your analytics setup, Kite explains the change and makes it once you agree. ## How Kite matches Typeform submissions with Google Analytics conversions ### What counts as a conversion? Kite starts by settling which event in Google Analytics counts as the conversion you care about. It reads your property's key events and the events your site already sends, so it can see whether a purchase, a sign-up, or a booked call is already being recorded. It also reads your property's attribution settings, which decide how Google Analytics credits a conversion to earlier visits. If the conversion you want isn't marked as a key event yet, Kite tells you which event to mark and where to do it. Kite's Google Analytics connection reads key events but doesn't create them, so that one click is yours. Kite then confirms the change has taken effect by reading the key event list again. ### Is the form set up to be matched? Kite reads each form's full setup to see what it already collects. It checks the form's tracking settings for a Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager ID, and it looks for hidden fields that carry the source, medium, campaign, landing page, and client ID. When something is missing, Kite proposes the fix. It can add your Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager ID to the form's tracking settings, and it can add the hidden fields the matching needs. For a form embedded on your site, those fields fill in from the page itself. When Kite hosts your site, it updates the embed so the page passes the visitor's campaign details and client ID into the form. On another site, it gives your developer the exact change to make. For per-visitor matching, Google Analytics also needs to record the client ID in a form its reports can show. Kite creates a custom dimension for it in your property, which is a named field Google Analytics reports on alongside its standard ones. It also sets up a custom dimension for any other value the matching depends on, such as a form ID. ### Reading the Typeform responses Kite pulls the responses for each form across the period you chose. Each response carries the person's answers, the time they landed on the form, the time they submitted it, and the hidden field values captured with it. Kite can narrow the list to completed responses, or include partial ones when your account keeps them. Kite reads the answers too, because a conversion rate means more when you know who converted. If the form asks for company size or role, Kite notes those answers so it can tell you whether the people who convert are the ones you most want. ### Reading Google Analytics Kite runs reports on your Google Analytics property that line up with the Typeform responses. It reads sessions, key events, and conversion counts broken down by source, medium, campaign, landing page, and date. When the client ID is stored as a custom dimension, it also runs reports by that dimension, so it can see which individual browsers completed the conversion and when. Kite can also run a funnel report from the landing page through the form submission to the conversion. That shows where people drop out between submitting the form and converting, which is often more useful than the final rate alone. ### Matching submissions with conversions Kite matches each Typeform response with Google Analytics data using the strongest key the response carries. When a response has a client ID, Kite matches it directly to that browser's later key events, so it knows whether that specific submission converted and how long it took. When a response has only UTM values and a landing page, Kite matches at the level of the campaign and the day, which tells you how well each source turns submissions into conversions even without per-person detail. Timing matters in the match. Google Analytics usually takes a day or two to finish processing events for its standard reports, and a new Typeform response can take up to 30 minutes to appear in Typeform's response list. Kite leaves room for both delays, so the most recent days don't look worse than they are. It also uses a conversion window that suits your sales cycle, such as seven days for a free trial or 60 days for a sales-led deal, and it checks that the window fits inside your property's lookback settings. Kite flags any response it couldn't match and says why, such as a missing client ID or a standalone form link with no campaign values. That way you can see how much of the picture the report covers. ### What Kite reports back When the matching is done, Kite reports what it found in the conversation where you asked. The report leads with the answer: which forms, campaigns, and landing pages produced submissions that converted, and at what rate. It shows how many submissions Kite could match and how many it couldn't. It also says which differences are large enough to act on and which are too small to read into. Kite then recommends what to do next and does the work you approve. It might suggest moving budget toward the campaign whose submissions convert, rewriting the landing page whose leads rarely convert, or changing a form question that attracts poor fits. It can make the page change on a site it hosts and revise the form in Typeform. If you want the report every week or every month, ask Kite to put it on a schedule, and each run arrives in the same place with the period's numbers. ## What the finished work contains When Kite finishes, you have a report that connects Typeform submissions to the conversions that followed, plus a form and analytics setup that keeps the connection working. - **Conversion by source.** A table of submissions and conversions for each form, broken down by source, medium, campaign, and landing page, with the conversion rate for each row. - **Matched submissions.** For responses with a client ID, a list showing which submissions converted, how many days the conversion took, and the key answers each person gave in the form. - **Coverage.** How many responses Kite matched by visitor, how many by campaign and date, and how many it couldn't match, with the reason for each gap. - **The setup changes.** A record of the hidden fields, tracking IDs, and custom dimensions Kite added, so the next report matches more submissions than the last. - **Recommendations.** The changes Kite would make first, such as a budget shift, a landing page rewrite, or a form edit, with the numbers behind each one. For a longer report, Kite can publish it as a findings page or a dashboard at a stable link that refreshes its data when you open it. ## Common questions ### Can I just mark the Typeform submission as a key event in Google Analytics? Yes, and it's worth doing, because it lets you see which sources produce submissions. Marking the submission as a key event counts the form itself as the conversion, though. To learn which submissions lead to a later conversion, such as a purchase, you still need the hidden fields that tie each response to the visitor. ### What kind of event is a Typeform submission in Google Analytics? A Typeform submission is a custom event in Google Analytics, named by whoever set up the tracking. Google Analytics 4 sorts events into four kinds: events it collects automatically, enhanced measurement events it records when you switch them on, recommended events with names Google suggests, and custom events you define yourself. Form submissions on an embedded Typeform don't reliably appear through enhanced measurement, because the form runs in a frame inside your page, so most teams send a custom event when the form is submitted. ### How long does it take for Typeform submissions to show up in Google Analytics? Submissions usually appear in Google Analytics' realtime report within a few minutes, which is a good way to test your setup. Standard reports can take 24 to 48 hours to finish processing. That's why Kite checks recent days again before it treats them as final. ### Can I send email addresses from Typeform to Google Analytics to match people? No. Google Analytics doesn't allow personal information such as names or email addresses, so matching has to use an anonymous identifier. The Google Analytics client ID, carried into the form as a hidden field, does that job without putting personal details into your analytics. ## Related pages - **Use case:** [Improve website conversion](/use-cases/improve-website-conversion.md) - **Use case:** [Create and promote a lead magnet](/use-cases/lead-magnet.md) - **Integration:** [Typeform + Kite](/integrations/typeform.md) - **Integration:** [Google Analytics + Kite](/integrations/google-analytics.md)
