Mailchimp Forms Data Layer Examples
Learn more about how ListenLayer generates powerful data layers from the activity on your website, specifically from Mailchimp Forms.
Custom Data Layer Events
Like the ones shown here, generate data layer events when Mailchimp Forms activity occurs on your website or Mailchimp landing pages. Collect data and trigger conversions every time forms load, validation fails, or form submissions are successful. You can even track comprehensive activity from Mailchimp Popup Forms!
Unlike GTM’s “form submission trigger,” our Listeners are built custom for Mailchimp Forms, allowing us to improve accuracy and capture more data that is useful to marketing.
event: 'mailchimpFormLoaded',
event: 'mailchimpFormValidationFailed',
event: 'mailchimpFormSubmitted',Track Mailchimp Popup Forms
Mailchimp allows you to place popup forms across your website and trigger their appearance based on user activity. Then, start tracking these forms without redirecting users to “thank you” pages and capturing more robust data for segmentation and insights.
ListenLayer pushes these events, along with automatic and custom form characteristics, into the data layer where you can capture them with GTM!
event: 'hsPopupSubmitted',
event: 'hsPopupLoaded',
event: 'hsPopupValidationFailed',Automatic Data Layer Values
ListenLayer pushes critical information from your Mailchimp Forms activity into the data layer automatically. For example, every Mailchimp submission and Popup Form activity includes the form ID, form placement & location, and all data submitted by the user.
All data layer values can be captured inside marketing platforms or as variables inside Google Tag Manager to push anywhere you’d like! You can even generate custom data layer values.
event: 'hsPopupSubmitted',
formAutomaticValues: {
formID: 'b4b39a44-82ad-4f96-96b0-7e63dfcbc9fb',
formLocation: {
href: 'https://demo.hostedstaging.com/?gtm_debug=x',
host: 'demo.hostedstaging.com',
hostname: 'demo.hostedstaging.com',
pathname: '/',
