I have already created a builder/form for order taking, and I would now like to add an affiliate function. This means one builder/form can have multiple leaders’ names attached. When generating reports, we will then be able to see which leaders referred members who placed orders through this builder/form.

Podo: Support SpecialistHi,
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.
To add an affiliate function to your existing order-taking form where multiple leaders' names can be attached and tracked for referrals, you can use the Get Referrer widget in Jotform. This widget captures the referrer URL, which helps identify where your form visitors are coming from, essentially tracking which leader referred the member placing the order.
Here’s how to do it:
- Open your form in Form Builder.
- Click on Add Element on the left side.
- Go to the Widgets tab at the top.
- Search for and add the Get Referrer widget to your form.
This widget will start collecting the referrer URLs, which you can then view in Jotform Tables to see which leaders referred members who placed orders.
Note that sometimes the widget might not capture all referrer data due to privacy settings in browsers or web servers. To improve tracking accuracy, you can add a script to the <head> section of your website where the form is embedded:
<script src="https://app-widgets.jotform.io/scripts/getUrlReferrer.js"></script>
Alternatively, you can use tools like Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics for more advanced tracking.
With this setup, when generating reports in Jotform Tables, you will be able to see which leaders referred members through the captured referrer URLs.

How to add leaders name into Referrer widget
-
Podo: Support Specialist
Hi,
The Get Referrer widget in Jotform automatically captures the URL of the page that referred the user to your form. It does not have a built-in feature to manually add or input leaders' names directly into the widget itself.
If you want to associate leaders' names with referrals, you would typically do this by having unique referral links or URLs for each leader that lead to your form. The Get Referrer widget then captures these URLs when users access the form through those links.
To implement this:
- Create unique URLs for each leader that include a query parameter or unique identifier (e.g., yourformurl.com?leader=LeaderName).
- Use the Get Referrer widget to capture the full referrer URL when a user accesses the form.
- Analyze the captured URLs in your form submissions or reports to identify which leader's link was used, thus associating the submission with that leader.
This approach allows you to track multiple leaders referring members through the same form.
If you need a more customized solution, such as a dropdown or input field where users select or enter the leader's name, you can add a form field for that purpose instead of relying solely on the Get Referrer widget.

can 1 builder or form add 30 leaders name as affiliate?
-
Podo: Support Specialist
Hi,
Yes, you can add 30 leaders' names as affiliates to a single Jotform builder or form for tracking referrals. This can be done by creating unique referral links for each leader or by adding a form field where users can select or enter the leader's name.
Using the Get Referrer widget, you can capture the referrer URLs from these unique links to track which leader referred the member placing the order. Alternatively, you can add a dropdown or input field in the form listing all 30 leaders' names for users to select from.
This setup allows you to manage multiple leaders within one form and generate reports to see which leaders referred members who placed orders.

how to do?

Podo: Support Specialist
Hi,
Let me help you with that:
To add 30 leaders' names as affiliates in one Jotform form for tracking referrals, you can follow these steps:
- Add a Dropdown or Single Choice Field: In your form builder, add a dropdown or single choice field where users can select the leader's name. Enter the names of all 30 leaders as options in this field.
- Create Unique Referral Links: For each leader, create a unique URL that includes a query parameter identifying the leader, for example: yourformurl.com?leader=LeaderName.
- Add a Hidden Field: Add a hidden field to your form to capture the leader's name from the URL parameter.
- Set Up URL Parameter Passing: Configure the hidden field to get its value from the URL parameter (e.g., "leader"). This way, when a user accesses the form through a leader's unique link, the hidden field automatically records the leader's name.
- Use Get Referrer Widget (Optional): You can also add the Get Referrer widget to capture the referrer URL for additional tracking.
- Generate Reports: When viewing submissions or reports, you can filter or group by the leader's name field to see which leader referred each member.
This setup allows you to track multiple leaders within a single form effectively.

is it create from form elements?
-
Podo: Support Specialist
Hi,
Yes, adding leaders' names as affiliates in Jotform is done by creating form elements such as dropdown fields where users can select a leader's name, and hidden fields to capture information from URL parameters. These elements are part of the form builder's standard form elements.
By using these form elements, you can effectively track which leader referred a member by either having the user select the leader from a dropdown or by capturing the leader's name automatically through URL parameters in hidden fields.
This method allows you to manage multiple leaders within a single form and generate reports based on the selected or captured leader names.

How to create 50 leader's name automatically through URL parameters in hidden fields in one single builder or form?
-
Podo: Support Specialist
Hi,
To create 50 leaders' names automatically through URL parameters in hidden fields within one single Jotform builder or form, you can use the URL parameter prepopulation feature combined with hidden fields in your form.
Let me walk you through the process:
- Add Hidden Fields: In your form builder, add hidden fields that will capture the leader's name or identifier. You only need one hidden field if you are passing one leader parameter at a time.
- Set Unique Names for Hidden Fields: Each hidden field has a unique name that you can use as a URL parameter key. For example, name the hidden field leader.
- Create Unique URLs for Each Leader: For each of the 50 leaders, create a unique URL that includes the hidden field's unique name as a query parameter with the leader's name as the value. For example: yourformurl.com?leader=LeaderName1, yourformurl.com?leader=LeaderName2, and so on.
- Share the Unique URLs: Share these unique URLs with each leader so that when a user accesses the form through a specific URL, the hidden field automatically captures the leader's name.
- View Submissions: In your form submissions or reports, you will see the leader's name captured in the hidden field, allowing you to track which leader referred the submission.
This method leverages Jotform's URL parameter prepopulation feature to automatically capture leader names in hidden fields without requiring manual input from users.

Podo: Support Specialist
Hi,
The Hidden Field in Jotform is a standard form element that you can add to your form using the Form Builder. It is located among the form elements on the left side panel when you are editing your form.
Here’s how to find and add a Hidden Field:
- Open your form in Form Builder.
- Look for the Hidden Field element in the list of form elements on the left side. It is usually under the "Widgets" or "More Fields" section depending on the builder version.
- Drag and drop the Hidden Field onto your form where you want it.
- Configure the Hidden Field by selecting it and clicking the gear icon to open its properties. In the Advanced tab, you can set its Unique Name, which will be used for URL parameter passing.
- Hide the field from users by toggling the Hide Field option in the Advanced tab so it does not appear on the live form but still captures data.
Hidden Fields are invisible to form users but can capture data such as URL parameters, which makes them perfect for affiliate tracking like capturing leader names.

Lorenz JotForm SupportHi Gin,
Combined with the URL parameter, you can add a hidden field to your form, that will capture the leader's name from the URL parameter, so when form filler submits the form, you can easily view which leaders was the referrer, along with the other submission data. Let me walk you through it:
1. In Form Builder, in the left side of the page, click on the Add Elements button.
2. In the Form Elements panel on the left, under the Basic tab, look for Short text and add it to the form.
3. Next, label it accordingly, to make it easy to identify(e.g. Referrer, Referrer name..).
4. Lastly, right click on the Short text field that was added and click on Hide, to make it hidden from view.
After that, you'll need to get the Short text field's unique name, as you will be using it as the placeholder for the value of the referrer name from the URL parameter. Let me walk you through it:1. In Form Builder, select the Short text field for the referrer's name and click on the Gear icon.
2. In the Field Property panel on the right, go to the Advanced tab.
3. Next, toggle down Field Details.
3. Lastly, copy the Unique name of the field.
