Once the form is submitted, the lead source information is transferred to ClickUps Forms.

How to create performance reports?
Leads source reports
You can run lead source reports to get insights from the data collected by LeadSources. Here are a few examples:
Channels report: What Channels generated the most leads?
Campaigns report: what campaigns generated the most leads? This is useful when you run several campaigns on a given channel (like Google Ads).
Terms report: when you want to know which keywords of a given campaign are driving most of your leads:
Sales source reports
Do you want to know what sources/channels/… are contributing to your bottom line?
By sending your ClickUp Forms submissions into a CRM – such as GoHighLevel, you can generate sales reports such as:
- Revenue by Channel
- Revenue by Source
- Revenue by Term
- etc.
Imagine the following example:
| Channels | Search Paid (Google Ads) | Social Paid (Facebook Business) |
| Leads | 50 | 75 |
| Sales | 5 | 6 |
| Average order value | $150 | $100 |
| Revenue | $750 | $600 |
Data collected:
- The Google Ads campaign generated fewer leads than the Facebook campaign (50 leads vs. 60).
- By sending your leads to a CRM you tracked the leads that transformed into paid customers. And you found out that out of the 75 leads generated on Facebook, you’ve made $600 in revenue, while you’ve made $750 from the 50 leads generated on Google Ads.
Insight: Although Google Ads generated fewer leads than Facebook, it contributed $150 more to your bottom line ($750 vs. $600)
Recommendations: increase your Google Ads budget, decrease your Facebook Business budget
