2.6.5 How to capture and parse the LeadJourney Click ID with leadcapture.io

Overview

LeadJourney assigns a unique Click ID to every visitor, stored in the browser's localStorage. With LeadCapture.io, you can automatically retrieve and submit this Click ID without needing to write custom JavaScript—just by configuring a special field.

This guide shows you how to:

✅ Configure LeadCapture.io to retrieve the Click ID from localStorage
✅ Auto-fill it into your form as a hidden field
✅ Ensure the Click ID reaches your CRM for proper attribution

Why This Matters

The lj_click_id is what links:

An ad click
A form submission
A lead or contact in your CRM
And the final conversion event

Without it, LeadJourney can’t tie performance back to campaigns or send conversion events to Meta and Google Ads.

🛠 Step-by-Step Setup in LeadCapture.io

1️⃣ Add a New Field for the Click ID

Log into your LeadCapture.io dashboard
Open the form editor for the form you want to track
Add a new field

Set the field options as follows:

Field Name: lj_click_id
Field Type: JavaScript variable lookup
JS Variable Name:
```
localStorage.getItem('clickid')
```
Field Visibility: Hidden (if available)

💾 Save and publish the form.

✅ How It Works

As soon as the form loads, LeadCapture.io will evaluate the JavaScript expression:

localStorage.getItem('clickid')

This retrieves the LeadJourney Click ID that was previously stored during the ad click.

The value will be auto-filled into the lj_click_id field and submitted with the form—no custom scripts required.

🧪 How to Test It

Open your website form page in incognito mode
Open Developer Console (F12 → Console tab)
Run this command:
```
localStorage.getItem('clickid')
```
You should see a value like ab3c-xyz-123 returned
Submit the form and check your CRM or data destination
Confirm that lj_click_id was submitted with the form data
