Hi there - I have a sales and marketing team driving registration to our community. Members are arriving at our “signup” lightbox from a number of personalized URLs. Therefore I have a two part question:
- Can discourse signup page capture registration data as a hidden fields?
- Can I add the registration data to the users profile? This would be hidden from user and only visible to admins.
How it works:
- An ad appears from my community online
- The destination URL includes UTM parameters for tracking: `mycommunity.com/signup/ _?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=may_launch&utm_term=network%20automation_`
I want the UTM data to pass to the user record:
- Full name: Johny Appleseed
- Email: `jappleseed@apple.com`
- Registration source: Google
- Registration source type: CPC
- Ad campaign name: May Launch
- Paid keyword: Network Automation
Discourse supports Google Tag Manager, and I’ve read that you can pass along [UTM parameters to Google Tag Manager](https://www.analyticsmania.com/post/transfer-utm-parameters-google-tag-manager/). but I’m not confident this will pass all the UTM data to the discourse user profile.
Has anyone done this or know of a simpler way? Capturing this data on the front end of user registration is important for me to measure the community’s contribution to our business.
Thanks!

That would take a plug in. If you’ve got a budget, let in #Marketplace. If you want to do it yourself, there are topics about getting started.
