1 · Standard HTML form

Ordinary markup, a native submit, and no Click ID anywhere. This is the shape AutoTrack is built for: the browser fires a real submit event and the Tag collects it.

What to look for. Submitting navigates to the thank-you page, so there is a page change the Tag can hang a conversion on. Nothing carries a Click ID, so this lead cannot be tied to a specific ad click later in a CRM — fine for a newsletter box, not enough for paid lead generation.

Property setting worth knowing. AutoTrack ignores forms that carry no Click ID parameter by default. To collect this one too, turn on tracking for unknown forms in the property's Client Side Tracking settings and give those submissions an event name.

The markup

<form action="/thank-you.html" method="get" name="optin">
  <input type="text"  name="fname" value="John">
  <input type="email" name="email" value="john@example.com">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
