Overview
The following instructions will guide you through the process of adding a hidden field to an Unbounce landing page. Adding a hidden Company field with a value of Unbounce to a landing page will allow the lead to enter Salesforce. After a hidden Company field with a value of Unbounce is setup on the appropriate landing page, an API connection between Unbounce and Salesforce is necessary to transfer the lead. An API, such as Zapier, can be used for this purpose. For instructions on using Zapier to transfer Unbounce leads to Salesforce, view the Team Dynamix Knowledge Article - Using Zapier to Transfer Unbounce Leads to Salesforce. There is a link to this article on the right hand side of this article, under Related Articles.
The instructions below are specifically catered to those who need to add a hidden "Company" field to an Unbounce landing page for the purpose of transferring Unbounce leads into Salesforce, as Salesforce requires a Company field for a lead.
Although the guide below is for the objective of creating a hidden "Company" field, these instructions can be used to add any hidden field on an Unbounce landing page.
1) Logon to the Unbounce website -> https://unbounce.com/
2) Ensure All Pages is selected on the top left hand side.
3) Locate and click on the desired landing page you want to add a hidden field to.
TIP If the landing page isn't easy to locate and you know the name of the landing page, type part of the landing page name into the Search Pages search box and select the Enter key on the keyboard.
4) You will be brought into a statistics Overview page/tab. Choose Preview on the top right.
5) Click Edit on the top right to Edit the page.
6) On the page, locate the box that contains the grouping of fields that gather information from the lead -> double click on the box.
7) The Design Your Form dialog box will appear. Under Custom Fields, on the top left within the dialog box -> double click on Hidden Fields. A new field or box labelled Untitled will appear at the bottom of all the other defined fields/boxes. If necessary, scroll down to see the Untitled hidden field. Click to select the new hidden Untitled field.
8) Underneath Field Name and ID, type in Company. This is the field label or heading. Underneath Default Value, type Unbounce.
9) Select Save on the top right hand side.
10) Choose Overview to return to the landing pages Overview tab.
11) Within the Overview tab, click on the landing page web link - that's to the right of Change URL, and enter a test lead. This test lead is necessary so Unbounce includes the new Company hidden field to the fields that are available to map.
