I use a third party builder and not Zoho CRM to create web forms. How do I set it up for Google Adss integration with Zoho CRM?
If you're using a Third Party builder to create a web form, you need to add this hidden field code in your web form's code.
<input type='hidden' id="zc_gad" name="zc_gad" value=""/>
Make sure that you add this tracking code to all the web pages on your website.
<script type="text/javascript" src='http://crm.zoho.com/crm/javascript/zcga.js'></script>
This code will capture the GCLID data and transfer the GCLID data along with your lead details to your customer database.
When you add this tracking code, it fetches the GCLID value from the browser's cookies and sends it to Zoho CRM via API. Include the "GCLID" variable in your existing API script as shown in the sample here to transfer the tracking details.
