Automate Submission Event Tracking

Problem/Motivation

Currently browser support the tracking of form submissions automatically, which is then used inside Google Analytics, Matomo and other analytics tools to be able to capture the amount of form submissions.

This removes the need to setup additional modules and perform site specific development to capture all submissions (regular, ajax, confirm message, confirm page, ....). It is therefore very interesting to explore to cut development costs in delivering this information.

Steps to reproduce

  • Setup empty (GTM) container
  • Add a "Form submission" trigger that fires on all forms
  • Create a simple webform
  • Don't use AJAX
  • Submit the form (You get a formSubmit event in GTM)
  • Change the form to AJAX submission
  • Submit the form (You don't get a formSubmit event in GTM)

Proposed resolution

Adjust webform to allow it to support the native browser submit feature. This might involve making adjustments to current onsubmit JS events capturing.

    I don’t understand what this feature request is asking to implement. That could be my own ignorance. Perhaps the issue summary would be improved by adding some links to fundamental documentation.

    Updated steps to reproduce.

    The problem is that when you have a webform that is not using AJAX and you setup a trigger that fires on form submits, you get the event entry in GTM (for example).
    When you change the webform to use AJAX and submit again, the GTM trigger is not fired anymore.

    Could we have a way so that disregarding of the webform submit settings/AJAX settings, that we can track the form submit action by default?

    Any new features should be handled in a dedicated contributed module.
