If you use your Google Analytics account to track multiple domains, and you want your form analytics to be included under a specific one, enter that domain here. This is really handy if you have a standalone form that isn’t embedded in your website. If you leave the Domain Name field blank, it’ll default to “Auto” and list your Wufoo subdomain as a separate domain in your Google Analytics account. So if your form link is karaokefriends.wufoo.com/forms/lets-sing and your website is karaokefriends.com, you can enter karaokefriends.com in the Domain Name field to track pageviews for the form in the right spot in Google Analytics. |
