HubSpot messing up goal tracking in Google Analytics (WordPress CMS)

We’re having trouble setting up goal tracking based on destination HTML in GA (not event-based).

The destination thank-you page is fix, however when a prospect submits a HS form, HS appends tracking parameters to the URL of the thank you page. HS appends “?submissionGuid=***” to the URI.

In the goal tracking section in GA, we have tried creating a regex expression to take HS’s parameters into account, with no success (see below)

We use Wordpress as our CMS. Our set isn’t special in anyway, we just have a GA plugin in WP that tracks our pages, and we embed code from HS for the forms.

Thank you for your help.

Regex expression
^http.?://www.360dialog.com/contact/thank-you.*$

Examples of URL it should match
http://www.360dialog.com/contact/thank-you/?submissionGuid=cc9b8324-3050-4248-b4c3-f49ac02020c8

This is what worked for me. Thank you @Ryan_Litwiller for getting me on the right track. I’m using Hubspot CMS but it should be the same for Wordpress.

  1. Get the URL for the Thank You Page https://www.{yourpage}.com/thank-you?submissionGuid={blah}
  2. All you want is the /thank-you
  3. Select the “Begins With” option on the Goal Details section
  4. Look for the “Verify this Goal” above the “Save” button and verify your page.

Note: this answer is based on the google analytics as of 9/5/2017.

Were you able to figure this out? I’m having the same exact problem.

I originally had the GA goal URL set to exact, but changed to “begins with” just now and not sure if that will totally fix the problem or not.
