Contact form in footer, how to identify which page the form entry was completed on?

Hi team,

I have a contact form in the footer of my website, so it appears on every page.

Each home I am selling has its own page, and the footer appears on each page. 

When a user makes an enquiry I dont have an identifier to say what page the user was on when they submitted the form. The forms are coming through fine, but I'd love to have the URL it originated from.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

You can add a hidden field on the form and use javascript to collect the page's path then assign to the hidden field value, when submit the url with come along

⚠️ The script has been updated, kindly check the below reply for new Squarespace form blocks update on May 2023 ℹ️

1. You assign the name of the hidden field and choose edit to get its generated name for the form, in this case it is 'footer-pagepath' -> 'SQF_FOOTER_PAGEPATH' (make sure it is unique name)

2. Add this snippet into settings->advanced->code injection->footer

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  	if (document.querySelector('[name="SQF_FOOTER_PAGEPATH"]')) {
		document.querySelector('[name="SQF_FOOTER_PAGEPATH"]').value = location.pathname;
	}
});
</script>

Thank you. Just used this for another friend site.

One question, how can I get Product Name?

@bangank36 Thank you again.

Hi @bangank36 Newbie coder here. I've been using this since Sept 2021 and it's worked perfectly. But in the last week or so, I noticed it stopped providing the page path. Can you help me troubleshoot why that might be? 
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks so much!!

I updated the code for the latest update of Squarespace form blocks, kindly replace the current code on the footer injection.

Please make sure the consistent of the hidden field name in the form block and in the custom code injection

nit: you can change the field name if you want, just remember to update the variable

<script>
/*
* @beyondspace: Append current page to sqs form submission
* Squarespace Forum: 14-June-2023
*/
window.addEventListener("load", (event) => {
    const hiddenFieldKey = 'SQF_PAGEPATH';
    const formBlocks = document.querySelectorAll('.sqs-block-form');

    formBlocks.forEach((block) => {
        const contextElement = block.querySelector("[id*=form-context-]");
        const context = JSON.parse(contextElement.innerHTML);
        
        const hiddenField = context.formFields.filter((field) => {
            return field.key === hiddenFieldKey
        })[0];
        if (hiddenField) {
            
            const hiddenFieldIndex = context.formFields.indexOf(hiddenField);
          	const latestContext = JSON.parse(contextElement.innerHTML);
            latestContext.formFields[hiddenFieldIndex].value = location.pathname;
            contextElement.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(latestContext);
        
            Squarespace.initializeFormBlocks(Y, Y)
        }
    })
});
</script>

nit: I updated the snippet a little bit to make it compatible with the IP hidden field here
