Using javascript to track new inquiries and application starts

When you embed your inquiry form or the initial application form on a page in your school's website, you can use javascript to track new inquiries and application starts.

New Inquiries

• The inquiry iframe sends the message inquiry.submitted to the parent page when an inquiry submits the form.
• Your Javascript can then trigger an event when one of those messages is received.

To listen for these messages, you'll need Javascript code on your container page along these lines:

window.addEventListener('message',function(message){
    if(message.data.type == 'populi.inquiry.submitted'){
    	alert('Do it!');
    }
});

Application Starts

• The application iframe sends the message application.start to the parent page when an applicant submits the initial form.
• Your Javascript can then trigger an event when one of those messages is received.

To listen for these messages, add Javascript to your container page that goes something like this:

window.addEventListener('message',function(message){
    if(message.data.type == 'populi.application.start'){
        alert('Do it!');
    }
});
