GTM Event Tracking from Form Mark-up

[ad_1]

Hello,

I’m having an issue with event tracking in my form. I have three landing pages which are all using the same form. One of those landing pages contains the form repeated twice. I’ve noticed that the event tracking is only working on the landing page where the form is repeated twice.

This is my code defined in the form mark-up:

<p>
  <label class="form-label">Email address:</label>
  <br>
<input class="form-input" type="email" name="EMAIL" required />
</p>
<p>
<label class="form-label">First Name</label>
  <br>
    <input class="form-input" type="text" name="FNAME">
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<input class="form-submit-button" type="submit" value="Subscribe for Free!" />
</p>

<script type="text/javascript">
// started
mc4wp.forms.on('started', function(form) {
   console.log('started');
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_started' });
});
 
// submitted
mc4wp.forms.on('submitted', function(form) {
   console.log('submitted');
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_submitted' });
});

// error
mc4wp.forms.on('error', function(form) {
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_error' });
});
 
// success
mc4wp.forms.on('success', function(form) {
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_success' });
});
 
// subscribed
mc4wp.forms.on('subscribed', function(form) {
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_subscribed' });
});

  // unsubscribed
mc4wp.forms.on('unsubscribed', function(form) {
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_unsubscribed' });
});
 
 
// updated_subscriber
mc4wp.forms.on('updated_subscriber', function(form) {
   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   window.dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'mailchimp_form_updated_subscriber' });
});
</script>

On the landing page where the form is placed once, we’re getting successful form submissions, but we’re not seeing the mailchimp_form_ events in Google Analytics.

On the landing page where the form is placed twice, we’re getting successful form submissions, and we’re seeing the mailchimp_form_ events in Google Analytics.

I’m wondering if placing the above JavaScript code in the form mark-up is what’s causing these issues. The form mark-up was the recommended location on this knowledge base page: https://www.mc4wp.com/kb/form-events-google-analytics-tracking/

Thanks!
