The problem
Microsoft Dynamics shows you the lead. It doesn't show you which campaign or keyword produced it, so you're stuck guessing what to spend more on.
How to set it up
SourceTag runs on your site and remembers how each visitor arrived. When they submit a form, hidden fields carry that history into Microsoft Dynamics, so the new contact already has its channel, source, campaign and keyword attached.
Add SourceTag to your site
Paste the script tag in your header, or use the WordPress plugin if that's easier.
Create matching fields in Microsoft Dynamics
Add contact or lead fields in Microsoft Dynamics named st_fc_channel, st_fc_detail_1 and so on. The setup guide has the full list.
Match hidden fields on your forms
Whatever builds your forms, add hidden fields with the same names so the data has somewhere to land.
Run a test lead through
Visit your site with ?utm_source=test&utm_medium=cpc, submit the form, and check the new record in Microsoft Dynamics.
How data gets into Microsoft Dynamics
SourceTag doesn't connect to Microsoft Dynamics directly. It works through your forms. Whatever form builder you use, attribution data gets submitted alongside the lead's details and flows into Microsoft Dynamics through your existing form-to-CRM connection.
Any form builder that supports hidden fields will work:
