How to Track Form Submissions in Google Analytics with the Help of Google Tag Manager

Tracking form submissions accurately is crucial for understanding user engagement and optimising conversion rates on your website. Google Analytics provides deep insights into user behaviour, while Google Tag Manager simplifies the management of tracking codes, making it easier to collect data without needing to modify the code on your website directly. Integrating these two powerful tools allows you to monitor form submissions effectively, helping you to measure the performance of your contact forms, sign-ups, and other interactive elements.

This guide will walk you through the steps to set up form submission tracking in Google Analytics using Google Tag Manager.

1. To track a specific form submission on the website, ensure you have the ID of that particular form. In our case, it is: gform_1.

2. Select the form and obtain its ID. In our case, it is: gform_1.

3. Now, we need to navigate to our Tag Manager account. For this example, we'll use the Example Account.
