Ours Integration with Formsort

This guide will walk you through integrating Ours with your Formsort account. You’ll learn how to track form submissions and custom events seamlessly while ensuring HIPAA-compliant analytics for privacy-conscious applications.

Formsort Redirect (easy integration)

The simplest way to integrate Ours with Formsort is to set up a redirect within Formsort. Here's how:

1. Make sure your Ours tracking script is installed on your website.
2. Link from your website to Formsort.
3. Set up a custom thank-you page in Formsort to redirect back to your website.

On your thank-you page, fire this Ours event:

ours('track', 'FormSubmitted', { conversion: true });

This method requires no complex integration and provides basic tracking. Configure the redirect in your Formsort settings:

Ours Formsort Source (custom integration)

For more advanced tracking and to access form submission details, you can use the Ours custom Formsort integration:

1. Create a New Source:

   • In the Ours app, navigate to Sources and create a new source.
   • Select Formsort from the options and copy the Webhook URL provided.

2. Add Webhook in Formsort:

   • Paste the Webhook URL into Formsort under the integration settings for your flow.

3. Submit a Test Form:

   • Fill out your form to ensure data is sent to Ours.
   • Check the Ours app for pre-populated variables from the form payload.

4. Map Form Fields:

   • Use the field mapping interface in Ours to map Formsort data to Ours attributes.
   • Include at least the Ours visitor ID and optionally an email address for user association.

Advanced Source Integration

To link Ours visitor data with Formsort submissions:

1. Add a Hidden Field in Formsort:

   • Set up a hidden field in your form to capture the Ours User ID.

2. Pass Visitor ID via URL:

   • When linking to the Formsort form, append the Ours User ID as a URL parameter.

<a id='form-link' href="https://formsort.com/form/123?ours_user_id={{ours_user_id}}">Start Form</a>

<script>
const link = document.getElementById('form-link');
link.setAttribute('href', 'https://formsort.com/form/123?ours_user_id='+localStorage.getItem('ours_device_id'));
</script>

You'll then want to map that hidden field to the Ours visitor id in the Ours mapper settings.

That's it 🎉!
