Shulman UTM Attribution for Elementor brings real marketing attribution directly into your WordPress site.
Instead of relying only on external tools like Google Analytics, this plugin connects your traffic sources to actual leads and WooCommerce orders — so you can understand what truly drives results.
Know not just what happened — but what caused it.
<h4>Why This Matters</h4>
Most analytics tools show you traffic.
This plugin shows you what actually generated the lead or sale.
<ul>
<li>Which campaign brought the customer?</li>
<li>Which source deserves the credit?</li>
<li>What really works in your marketing?</li>
</ul>
No more guessing. No more “direct traffic” confusion.
<h4>Attribution Model</h4>
Built around a Last Non-Direct Click model (like Google Analytics):
<ul>
<li>Direct visits never overwrite real marketing sources</li>
<li>Internal navigation does not break attribution</li>
<li>Previous campaigns keep their credit</li>
</ul>
Optional: enable First Click + Last Click tracking for deeper funnel analysis.
<h4>Core Features</h4>
Built to give you reliable, real-world attribution — not just raw data:
<ul>
<li>Last Non-Direct Click attribution – direct visits and internal page navigation never overwrite a previously stored source, matching Google Analytics default behavior</li>
<li>7-day attribution window – UTM data persists for 7 days in localStorage and as a cookie</li>
<li>Auto-fills Elementor hidden fields – works with standard <code>utm_source</code>, <code>utm_medium</code>, <code>utm_campaign</code>, <code>utm_content</code>, <code>utm_term</code> field IDs</li>
<li>First Click + Last Click mode – optional per-form dual attribution using <code>fc_</code> / <code>lc_</code> prefixed field IDs</li>
<li>50+ referrer sources detected – search engines, social networks, messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber), email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail), video platforms, Israeli news sites, and more</li>
<li>Click-ID detection – <code>gclid</code> (Google Ads), <code>fbclid</code> (Meta), <code>msclkid</code> (Bing), <code>ttclid</code> (TikTok), <code>li_fat_id</code> (LinkedIn), <code>twclid</code> (Twitter), <code>epik</code> (Pinterest), <code>dclid</code> (Google Display)</li>
<li>Priority chain – UTM params → Click-ID → Referrer → Direct (never overwrites)</li>
<li>localStorage fallback – if localStorage is blocked, falls back to cookie; marks lead as “untracked” when both are unavailable</li>
</ul>
<h4>UTM Attribution Dashboard (Elementor Pro)</h4>
When Elementor Pro is installed, every form submission is captured with full UTM attribution data and displayed in a dedicated reporting dashboard:
<ul>
<li>New admin page UTM Attribution → Attribution Dashboard — view lead attribution data at a glance</li>
<li>See source, medium, campaign, and attribution coverage for every captured lead</li>
<li>Color-coded Source column (paid = orange, organic = green, social = blue, email = purple)</li>
<li>Summary cards: Total leads · Attributed leads · Top source · Attribution rate %</li>
<li>Attribution rate context label — Good / Partial / Low tracking visibility thresholds (≥70% / 40–70% / <40%)</li>
<li>Key Insights panel — rule-based, deterministic insights: top source, unattributed rate, top combination, diversification tips</li>
<li>Attributed vs Direct/Unknown breakdown — percentage and count split with visual bar</li>
<li>Top Source / Medium / Campaign combinations — ranked table of most common attribution paths</li>
<li>Where journeys start vs convert — last-touch source comparison with bar charts; links to First Click configuration</li>
<li>Filter by form name and by UTM source to analyze top-performing traffic segments</li>
<li>Full-text search across name, email, source, campaign</li>
<li>Export attribution records to CSV for offline analysis (UTF-8 with BOM for Excel compatibility)</li>
<li>Bulk delete old records</li>
</ul>
This screen is designed for attribution and marketing analysis. Elementor’s native submissions table remains the primary source for full form-entry details.
<h4>WooCommerce Integration</h4>
Turn every order into actionable marketing insight:
<ul>
<li>See exactly which source generated each order</li>
<li>Filter orders by traffic source</li>
<li>Export attribution data for analysis</li>
<li>Works with HPOS and legacy storage</li>
</ul>
No external tools required.
Enable via UTM Attribution → Settings → Enable WooCommerce tracking:
<ul>
<li>Saves UTM source/medium/campaign/content/term/id to every order as order meta</li>
<li>Adds a color-coded UTM Source column to the WooCommerce Orders table</li>
<li>Adds a UTM Tracking meta box to each order detail page</li>
<li>Filter orders by UTM source using the dropdown in the Orders filter bar</li>
<li>UTM columns included in WooCommerce CSV export</li>
<li>Compatible with both HPOS and Legacy order storage</li>
</ul>
<h4>Elementor Form Setup</h4>

Shulman UTM Attribution for Elementor

Understand where your leads and sales really come from — built-in attribution (First & Last Click) directly inside WordPress.

ClickTrail stores attribution data from landing pages and keeps it available for later form submissions, WooCommerce orders, and event flows.
In WooCommerce, ClickTrail stores attribution on the order, pushes enriched purchase events on the thank-you page, and can optionally emit GA4-style storefront events for <code>view_item</code>, <code>view_item_list</code>, <code>view_cart</code>, <code>add_to_cart</code>, <code>remove_from_cart</code>, and <code>begin_checkout</code>, plus post-purchase milestones, through the same ClickTrail pipeline.
It is designed for cases where attribution often breaks in practice: cached pages, dynamic forms, multi-page journeys, repeat visits, consent requirements, and optional server-side delivery.
The plugin keeps first-touch and last-touch context available until the conversion point and makes that context usable inside WordPress.
It captures first-touch and last-touch source data, keeps it available during the user journey, and makes that data usable where conversions actually happen:
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>supported forms</li>
<li>browser events</li>
<li>optional server-side delivery</li>
</ul>
Teams can start with order or form attribution first, then add browser events, consent handling, or server-side transport when needed.
<h4>What problems it solves</h4>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce orders losing source data: Paid traffic often ends up looking like direct traffic by the time an order is placed. ClickTrail stores attribution on the order and keeps purchase reporting tied to campaign context.</li>
<li>Checkout continuity breaking before purchase: WooCommerce storefront journeys can now emit opt-in <code>view_item</code>, <code>view_item_list</code>, <code>view_cart</code>, <code>add_to_cart</code>, <code>remove_from_cart</code>, and <code>begin_checkout</code> signals through the same ClickTrail event layer used elsewhere in the plugin.</li>
<li>Cached or dynamic forms: Hidden fields often break on cached pages or AJAX-rendered forms. ClickTrail includes client-side fallback and dynamic-content support.</li>
<li>Cross-domain breaks: Approved link decoration and attribution tokens help keep continuity between domains or subdomains.</li>
<li>Consent and transport complexity: Consent controls, browser events, webhook intake, and server-side transport live in the same plugin.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Core capabilities</h4>
<ul>
<li>Capture: first-touch and last-touch UTMs, major ad click IDs, and referrers with automatic organic/social/referral fallback when UTMs are absent.</li>
<li>WooCommerce: checkout attribution persistence, thank-you purchase event push, enriched commerce payloads, optional storefront commerce events, and optional order-status milestones.</li>
<li>Forms: automatic hidden-field enrichment for Contact Form 7 and Fluent Forms, compatible hidden-field population for Gravity Forms and WPForms, client-side fallback, dynamic form support, and WhatsApp attribution continuity.</li>
<li>Events: browser event collection with <code>dataLayer</code> pushes, canonical REST intake, webhook ingestion, lifecycle updates, one-time WordPress follow-up events such as <code>login</code>, <code>sign_up</code>, and <code>comment_submit</code>, and optional WooCommerce storefront events.</li>
<li>Delivery: optional server-side transport, retry queue, diagnostics, consent-aware dispatch, and failure telemetry.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What is new in 1.5.2</h4>
This maintenance release focuses on code-quality cleanup and standards compliance without changing runtime behavior:
<ul>
<li>Line-ending cleanup: normalized mixed line endings in key PHP handlers so packaging and standards checks stay consistent across environments.</li>
<li>Standards cleanup: resolved PHPCS findings in the consent, attribution-token, and privacy handlers, including targeted documentation for intentional exceptions.</li>
<li>No runtime change: behavior remains the same as <code>1.5.1</code>; this is a maintenance release focused on code hygiene.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Current admin structure</h4>
The main settings experience is organized by capability:
<ul>
<li>Capture</li>
<li>Forms</li>
<li>Events</li>
<li>Delivery</li>
</ul>
Operational screens stay separate:
<ul>
<li>Logs</li>
<li>Diagnostics</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported integrations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Forms: Contact Form 7, Elementor Forms (Pro), Fluent Forms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, WPForms</li>
<li>Commerce: WooCommerce</li>
<li>CMP sources: ClickTrail banner, Cookiebot, OneTrust, Complianz, GTM, custom</li>
<li>Webhook providers: Calendly, HubSpot, Typeform</li>
<li>Server-side adapters: Generic collector, sGTM, Meta CAPI, Google Ads / GA4, LinkedIn CAPI, Pinterest Conversions API, TikTok Events API</li>
</ul>
<h4>Forms behavior by plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form 7 and Fluent Forms: ClickTrail can add hidden attribution fields automatically.</li>
<li>Gravity Forms and WPForms: ClickTrail can populate matching hidden fields you add to the form.</li>
<li>Recommended for Gravity Forms and WPForms: add the hidden fields you want stored or exported, and ClickTrail will fill them.</li>
<li>Elementor Forms (Pro): ClickTrail uses the available submission hooks and attribution fallback, not automatic hidden-field injection.</li>
<li>Ninja Forms: ClickTrail stores attribution with the submission and surfaces it in the submission record, not as automatic hidden-field injection.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported click IDs</h4>
<ul>
<li>Google: <code>gclid</code>, <code>wbraid</code>, <code>gbraid</code></li>
