Capturing Hidden Field Values on Landing Pages

Capturing Hidden Field Values on Landing Pages

What is this feature?

This feature allows the admins to pre-configure specific lead fields within a landing page (built using HTML uploader or drag-and-drop). When an applicant submits a widget on that landing page, those predefined values (e.g. campaign, source, medium, counselor, centre name, UTM parameters) are automatically populated into the lead record.

Pre-requisites

  • You should have access to Landing Page configuration in Meritto (via HTML Uploader or Drag-and-Drop builder).

Steps to Configure

  • Add the token of the widget then at the top right corner option of ‘Configure’ will get enabled wherein you can set your default values of all the fields


Notes
Note: Always preview and publish to save the values of the configured default fields



Business Use Cases:

1. Reduce applicant effort and increase conversions
By pre-setting certain fields, you can keep the widget simple and show fewer fields to the applicant. This improves the user experience and helps increase overall lead submissions.

2. Use one widget across multiple landing pages
You can reuse the same widget on multiple landing pages and set different hidden default fields for each page. This reduces backend effort and helps teams manage campaigns more efficiently.

3. Reduce manual data entry for applicants
Applicants don’t have to fill in repeated or technical information. This makes the form easier to complete and improves submission rates.

4. Improve lead routing automatically
You can assign all leads from a landing page directly to a specific owner, ensuring faster follow-ups and consistent ownership.

5. Ensure accurate campaign tracking
Pre-defining source, medium, and campaign values ensures every lead is attributed correctly, giving you clean and reliable campaign reports.

6. Maintain consistent lead data
Default values help standardize incoming lead information so that all leads follow the same structure, regardless of which landing page they come from.

7. Improve lead quality and analytics
UTM and campaign tags are automatically fetched and populated, ensuring better segmentation, tracking, and performance analysis.

Conclusion

Capturing hidden field values on landing pages helps streamline lead collection while maintaining accurate and consistent data. By pre-populating important fields such as campaign, source, counselor, and UTM details, you reduce applicant effort, eliminate manual errors, and ensure reliable campaign tracking. This feature not only improves conversion rates but also strengthens lead routing, reporting, and overall data quality—making it a simple yet powerful configuration for more efficient and scalable lead management in Meritto.
