# Add hidden fields in Leadpages

Leadpages is a page builder that allows you to create performing landing pages and websites.

Since Leadpages doesn't offer the possibility to capture leads. Instead, it relies on external email tools such as MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, etc.

With Leadsources, you can **track the source of the leads generated in Leadpages**, alongside 6 other lead source data.

In this guide, we will show you **how to add hidden fields in Leadpages**to start capturing the source of your leads.

## Step 1: Add hidden fields to your emailing tool

Log in to the email tool that you use to capture your leads on Leadpages.

Add custom fields. For more information on how to add custom fields, refer to these guides:

- [MailChimp](https://mailchimp.com/help/manage-audience-signup-form-fields/#:~:text=Add%20a%20field%20in%20the%20audience%20settings&text=Click%20the%20Settings%20drop%2Ddown,field%2C%20then%20click%20Save%20Changes.)
- [ActiveCampaign](https://www.activecampaign.com/learn/guides/what-are-custom-fields)
- [Convertkit](https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/2502504-how-to-add-custom-fields-to-subscribers)

Create the following hidden fields:

- Channel
- Source
