How to Look Up Form Attribution
Track where leads come from by reviewing attribution details on form submissions and contact records—then use first vs. latest attribution to understand the full journey.
Understanding Where Your Leads Are Coming From
You may be collecting leads, but knowing where they came from helps you understand what’s actually working.
Attribution data shows how a visitor found you and what actions they took before submitting a form.
Without tracking attribution, it’s harder to measure performance or improve your marketing efforts.
This guide will show you how to view and interpret attribution so you can make better decisions based on real data.
Once you understand how attribution works, follow the sections below to review submission data, compare first and latest attribution, and analyze your traffic sources inside your BizStackPro account.
Accessing Form Attribution
The fastest way to review attribution is directly from the submissions view, where you can open a submission and see the visitor’s source details.
- Go to Sites → Forms → Submissions.
- Select the form you want to review (if there’s a dropdown).
- Use search and date filtering to find the right submission.
- Open the submission and review attribution fields (source, referrer, URL, UTMs, etc.).
Follow along: Start in Forms → Submissions for per-submission attribution, then jump into the contact record when you want to see the entire relationship timeline.
First vs. Latest Attribution
BizStackPro attribution commonly includes two perspectives:
- First Attribution: the first tracked interaction that created or identified the lead. This stays the same.
- Latest Attribution: the most recent tracked interaction. This can update as the lead returns and takes new actions.
Example: A lead might first arrive from Organic Search, then later return from a Facebook Ad before purchasing—first attribution stays “Organic,” latest might become “Paid Social.”
Common Attribution Sources
Attribution categories help you understand the channel that generated the lead or action.
- Paid Search: search advertising traffic (example: Google Ads)
- Paid Social: traffic from social ad campaigns
- Direct Traffic: the visitor typed the URL, used a bookmark, or referrer wasn’t available
- Organic Search: unpaid search results
- Social Media: organic social traffic (not paid)
- Referrals: clicks from other websites linking to yours
- Others: calls, SMS, email, WhatsApp, and other tracked channels
- CRM UI: leads created manually inside BizStackPro
- Third-Party: created via integrations (example: Zapier)
Pro tip: Keep your UTM naming consistent (campaign/source/medium) so Paid Social vs. Paid Search reporting stays clean.
How Attribution Is Determined
Attribution is built from whatever tracking signals are available at the time of the visit or conversion.
- UTM parameters in the page URL
- Referring domains (where the visitor came from)
- Cookies and tracking URLs (when available)
Reminder: Direct traffic often increases when UTMs are missing or referrer data is blocked—so consistent UTMs matter.
Events That Record Attribution
Attribution can be recorded when BizStackPro captures a known action tied to a visitor/contact.
- Form or survey submissions
- Calendar bookings
- Chat widget interactions (after contact info is captured)
- Order form submissions

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I view the attribution data for a contact?
Open the contact record and check the attribution details shown in the activity area. For form-specific attribution, review it inside Sites → Forms → Submissions.
What is the difference between first and latest attribution?
First is the initial tracked interaction and does not change. Latest updates as new tracked interactions occur.
How are attribution sources determined?
They’re determined using UTMs, referrer domains, cookies, and tracking URLs—based on what data is available at the time.
What actions record attribution data?
Form/survey submissions, calendar bookings, chat interactions (after contact capture), and order form submissions can record attribution.
Can I analyze attribution data for form submissions?
Yes—go to Sites → Forms → Submissions, open a submission, and review the attribution details.
Make Attribution Work for You
First attribution shows where the relationship began. Latest attribution shows what’s driving action now. Use both to optimize campaigns, pages, and follow-up.
Cleaner tracking. Better decisions.
