One of the most useful tools you can add to your weForms is the Google Analytics module. With the module enabled you can then track and analyze website traffic and campaigns associated with your forms. Follow the tutorial below to learn how to activate the Google Analytics module in weForms.
In order to use these instructions you will need to have the weForms Professional version installed. You also need to have a Google Analytics account created for your website before enabling the module in weForms.
How to Activate the Google Analytics Module in weForms
