Embed for Tally – Forms Block, Popup & Elementor Widget

FAQ

Is this an official Tally plugin?

No. Embed for Tally is an independent plugin by Hendra Setiawan and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tally. “Tally” is a trademark of its owner.

Do I need a Tally account?

Yes. Forms are built at tally.so; a free Tally account is enough.

How do I add a Tally popup form to WordPress?

Add the Tally Form block, paste your form link, and set Display mode to Popup in the block sidebar. Your page shows a button that opens the form in a centred popup. You can change the button text and style, open the popup automatically, and close it after the form is submitted. With the shortcode, use [tally_form id="mRoDv3" mode="popup" button_text="Contact us"].

Can a popup open by itself?

Yes. Under Open the form, choose after a delay, when the visitor is about to leave (exit intent, desktop only) or after scrolling part of the page. You can show it only once per visitor, stop showing it after the form is submitted, and hide the button so the popup only opens automatically. With the shortcode: [tally_form id="mRoDv3" mode="popup" open_trigger="exit" show_once="1" hide_button="1"].

Can I show a Tally form as a slide-in?

Yes. Set Display mode to Slide-in, or use mode="slidein" in the shortcode. The form opens in a small panel in the bottom corner of the page.

Where do I find the form ID?

In your form’s share link (https://tally.so/r/mRoDv3), embed URL (https://tally.so/embed/mRoDv3) or editor URL (https://tally.so/forms/mRoDv3/edit). You can paste any of those, or just the ID.

How do I embed a Tally form in Elementor, Divi or Bricks?

In Elementor, add the Tally Form widget. It has the same options as the block and a Style tab for the popup button. In Divi, Bricks and other builders, put [tally_form id="..."] in the builder’s shortcode, text or HTML element. Tally Forms → Shortcode builds the shortcode for you. The same shortcode works in the classic editor and in widgets.

Can I pass hidden fields to my Tally form?

Yes. Add static values in the block’s Hidden fields panel (one key=value per line) or with hidden="source=website,campaign=spring" in the shortcode. The keys must match hidden fields in your Tally form. Tally also receives the page’s address and query parameters automatically.

What shortcode attributes are there?

You don’t need to learn them: Tally Forms → Shortcode writes the shortcode from the options you choose. For reference: id (required), mode (inline, popup, slidein), hide_title, transparent, auto_height, height (px), align (left or center), button_text, button_style (inherit or basic), open_trigger (click, delay, exit, scroll), open_delay (seconds), open_scroll (percent of the page), show_once, hide_after_submit, hide_button (automatic opening only), width (popup width in px), overlay (slide-in only), emoji, emoji_animation, auto_close (seconds), hidden (key=value,key2=value2), title (accessible name of the form).

Where do I find submissions?

In your Tally account. The plugin displays your forms; everything visitors send is stored by Tally. Open the form in Tally and go to its Submissions tab.

Can submissions be stored in WordPress too?

Not yet. If you would use that, click Request this feature under Tally Forms → Submissions, or say so in the support forum. Those requests decide what gets built next.

Can I track Tally submissions in Google Analytics, Tag Manager or Meta Pixel?

Yes. Turn on Track form submissions under Tally Forms → Advanced. Form views and submissions are then reported to the tags already on your site. In Google Tag Manager, use a Custom Event trigger for Tally.FormSubmitted. Sites that use Google Analytics without Tag Manager receive a tally_form_submitted event. Meta Pixel receives Tally.FormSubmitted as a custom event. The plugin adds no tags of its own, so your site needs one of these installed.

Do UTM parameters reach my form if the visitor lands on another page first?

Turn on Remember UTM parameters under Tally Forms → Advanced. The plugin keeps utm_source and the other UTM parameters for the visit and passes them to forms on later pages. Add hidden fields with the same names to your Tally form to store them. The values are kept in the visitor’s browser until the tab closes, so check whether your cookie notice should mention it.

Can I stop Tally loading until the visitor agrees?

Yes. Turn on Ask before loading forms under Tally Forms → Advanced. Inline forms then show a short message and a “Load form” button, and nothing is requested from Tally until the visitor clicks. Popups load when their button is clicked, and popups that open by themselves wait until a form has been loaded. You can change the message and the button label.

Does it work with AI assistants?

Yes, once you turn it on. It is off by default: go to Tally Forms → Advanced and turn on Let AI assistants use Embed for Tally. On WordPress 6.9 or newer, the plugin then registers three WordPress Abilities that assistants connected to your site (for example through WordPress’s MCP adapter) can use: get the embed code for a form, insert a form into a post or page, and list the posts that contain a form. They follow WordPress permissions: only users who can edit a post can add a form to it. Inserting a form never changes existing content, and it is saved as a normal revision.

If Elementor is active: recent Elementor versions switch the site’s MCP server off until you turn MCP on under Elementor → Elementor MCP. Turn it on there if your assistant can’t find the abilities.

Will this slow my site down?

No. Tally’s embed script is only loaded on pages where a form is actually rendered, and the form iframe is lazy-loaded. If you turn on Remember UTM parameters, a few lines of inline JavaScript are added to every page so the parameters are kept from the page the visitor lands on; no extra file is loaded.

Where is the source code for the block?

The block editor script in build/ is compiled from the files in src/, which are included in the plugin. To rebuild it, run npm install and then npm run build in the plugin folder. The build uses @wordpress/scripts, as listed in package.json.
