How to Review real Submissions from Zapier (not test data)

After turning your your zap on, it's important to review real submissions over the next few days to make sure you're getting the attribution you expect.

Here are the steps:

  1. Go to your zap's Task History
  2. Find a form submission that occurred one or more days in the past and copy the email address of that submission
  3. Inside Wicked Reports, paste the email address into the Customer LTV Report with a "since first tracking" date filter

  4. Select Filter and click on the contact to open their contact profile
  5. A successful form submission displays three customer journey points inside the contact's Wicked Reports profile: Click, Optin, Contact Created 
    Note: "Optin" will be "Re-optin" if the contact was created before this Zap turned on

Click Track settings, additional context (from Step #2.4)

  1. Email will be pulled from the Lead Fills an Optin Form trigger in Step 1
  2. IP Address is essential for Wicked Reports to connect previous clicks to the form submission so we can create a unified customer identity
  3. For Click Date Time, the value NOW makes the Click Date Time the moment that the Zap is fired, which is roughly the same as when the lead actually completed the form and was added to your CRM
  4. Your Timezone ensures your Click Date Time timestamp follows the proper timeline of events
  5. Time Offset specifies the number of minutes that should be subtracted from the value in the Click Date Time field. The Click Date Time must be before the time the contact was added to your CRM for our system to track this form submission as a lead. The 20 minute value accounts for any delay between the form being submitted and the Zapier action being triggered
  6. The Conversion Type, Attributed_Click, allows our system to process the form submission as a lead
