Build GoatCounter forms with Paperform

Privacy-friendly, open-source web analytics. Send pageviews/events to GoatCounter, fetch totals and per-path stats, and trigger automations on traffic milestones.

Paperform connects to GoatCounter directly through Stepper workflows.

Form data and conversion events can go to GoatCounter, where you report on them.

How GoatCounter connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 11 GoatCounter actions and 3 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a GoatCounter step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.
