# Form submit tracking

Track form submits without scripts.

You set your form’s **redirect after submit** to a version-specific `t.swtchd.io/...` link. That redirect lands on a swtchd-hosted thank-you page (`f.swtchd.io/...`).

### When to use this

Use form submit tracking when your real conversion is:

* lead capture
* waitlist signup
* booking request
* any form with a success redirect

### What you need

* A test with 2+ versions of your forms
* A form tool that supports a **success URL** / **redirect URL on submit**
* Redirect should be set **per form instance** (per page version)
* If you host the form, don't use swtchd.io thank you page, you can use a tracking link with a redirect to your thank you on the submit button

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### 1) Create the thank-you page in swtchd

In your test setup, go to **Step 2: Tracking**.

In **Form submit tracking (thank-you page)**:

* Set a **Title** (example: `Thanks!`)
* Set a short **Body** (example: `Check your inbox in 5 minutes.`)

Click **Generate Tracking Links**.

You’ll get:

* A hosted thank-you page (preview): `https://f.swtchd.io/<id>`
* One submit redirect per version:
  * Version A: `https://t.swtchd.io/<shortIdA>`
  * Version B: `https://t.swtchd.io/<shortIdB>`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use the `t.swtchd.io/...` links in your form tool. Don’t paste the `f.swtchd.io/...` link directly.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2) Paste the redirect into your form tool (per version)

In your form tool, find one of these settings:

* **Redirect URL**
* **Success URL**
* **After submit redirect**
* **Thank you page URL**

Then configure it like this:

* On the form embedded on **Version A page**: redirect to Version A `t.swtchd.io/...`
* On the form embedded on **Version B page**: redirect to Version B `t.swtchd.io/...`

Flow after a submit:

1. Form submits successfully
2. Form redirects to `t.swtchd.io/...`
3. swtchd logs a conversion (only while your test is live)
4. Visitor lands on the thank-you page `f.swtchd.io/...`
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3) Launch the test

Go to **Step 3: Review & launch** and click **Go live**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tracking events only count while the test is live. The redirect links still work forever.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### How it shows up in Results

* The submit redirect counts as a **unique click**.
* **Click rate** becomes your submit-rate proxy: `unique clicks / unique views`.

### Tips for cleaner tests

* Keep thank-you copy short.
* Say what happens next (email, download, calendar, etc.).
* Track submits (macro) and 1 key click (micro) if needed.
