Marketo Form Proxy enables forms to be submitted to Marketo while removing any tracking information. The most common example where this can be used is a customer referral landing page.
For an example (available at this writing), see www.marketo.com/referral.
Server Requirements
Server Installation
To begin:
- Download this project, if you haven't already, here: https://github.com/Marketo/Form-Proxy/downloads.
- Edit the variables in mkto_proxy_config.template.php as necessary.
- Rename mkto_proxy_config.template.php to mkto_proxy_config.php.
- Drop the entire directory onto your website (or subdomain), e.g. http://YOUR-COMPANY.COM/post-proxy/ orhttp://post-proxy.YOUR-COMPANY.COM/.
- Visit the directory you just created. If it redirects to the default URL you set in mkto_proxy_config.php, it works. Otherwise, you must've skipped a step.
Now, on each landing page:
- Copy the text from Custom-HEAD.html.txt into the Custom HEAD HTML field in Marketo Design Studio (click Landing Page Actions, then Edit Page Meta Tags).
- Update that code. Replace http://YOUR-COMPANY.COM/post-proxy/ with the URL to the directory you created in the 3rd server installation step.
- Save your landing page and test thoroughly.
