# Capturing Parent Page URL and Details with Embedded HIPAAtizer Forms

When a HIPAAtizer form is embedded on a website, it can automatically capture information about the **parent page** where the form is displayed.

This is useful for analytics, troubleshooting, campaign attribution, and understanding where submissions are coming from.

---

## Supported Parent Page Variables

When a form is embedded (for example, on a WordPress page), the following variables are automatically available with each submission:

- **hptz_host** - Host of the parent page
- **hptz_hostname** - Hostname without protocol
- **hptz_href** - Full parent page URL
- **hptz_origin** - Protocol and hostname
- **hptz_pathname** - Page path
- **hptz_port** - Port number (if present)
- **hptz_protocol** - Protocol (`http:` or `https:`)

These values are resolved from the browser context where the form is embedded and submitted.

---

## Add Fields to Store Parent Page Data

To store these values as part of the submission, add input fields to your form with **Unique Names that exactly match** the variable names.

### Example unique names:

`hptz_host`

`hptz_hostname`

`hptz_href`

`hptz_origin`

`hptz_pathname`

`hptz_port`

`hptz_protocol`

When the form is submitted, HIPAAtizer will automatically populate these fields with the corresponding parent page values.

---

## Hide Parent Page Fields from the Submitter

Because these fields are intended for internal use, they should not be visible to the form submitter.

Recommended approach:

1. Group the parent-page fields into a separate row
2. Click the **row pencil icon**
3. Enable one or both options:
   - **Hide Row**
   - **Not Visible to External Client**

This ensures the data is collected without affecting the user experience.

## Capturing Query Parameters (Including UTM Tags)

HIPAAtizer can also capture **query parameters** from the page where the form is embedded, such as UTM tags and ad tracking values.

For detailed instructions, refer to the following guide:

[Guide to Collecting UTM Tags with HIPAAtizer Forms for Enhanced Marketing Insights](https://www.hipaatizer.com/docs/tutorials/capturing-parent-page-url-and-details/guide-to-collecting-utm-tags/)

This allows you to combine:
- Parent page URL and structure
- UTM campaign data
- Submission data

into a single submission record.

---

## Notes and Limitations

- Parent page variables are available **only when the form is embedded**
- These values are not populated when the form is accessed via a direct HIPAAtizer share link
- Field unique names must match **exactly** (case-sensitive)
