Gtm.form submit firing when the form has not been submitted

Hi Stefano,

No I’m not, I’m using the Custom Event with event name “gtm.formSubmit” as suggested in your guide. I know that the standard Form Submission has a “Check for validations” before firing but i don’t know how to set that up with the Custom Event.

Thanks

James

Hi James,

Sorry for the delay here. Could you share some additional information in regards to the form and set up?

Are you using the integration for GTM or did you enter the GTM container manually? Is this form in a lightbox? Have you checked off the email validation in your UB form?

If you can send over some screenshots of your set up in GTM and URL we’ll be able to diagnose a little better.

Cheers!

Would tying into the afterFormSubmit ensure validation was successful for this purpose? If so maybe you could push a custom event and use this as your trigger? I may be barking up the wrong tree here but I would try something along the lines of the following:

<script>
(function() {
        window.ub.hooks.afterFormSubmit.push(function() {
         window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
           window.dataLayer.push({
             event: 'ubForm'
           })
         })
})();
</script>

And then see if ubForm event is passed in preview only on successful validation or every time.

Would it be possible to get access to GTM? I’ll send over my email through DM.

Hey Stefano - did you or Jamessha ever figure this out? I am running into the same issue. We saw 1,000 form submission events in GTM for about 100 actual forms being submitted. Its really messing up our tracking.

Thanks!
