Thanks for your help Sanford! I was able to get this to work and learned a bunch along the way. Here's the final snippet I used.
<!-- Start Marketo Form -->
<script src="//url.marketo.com/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_1234" class="mktoForm"></form>
<script>
MktoForms2.setOptions({ formXDPath : 'path goes here' });
MktoForms2.loadForm("//url.marketo.com", "123-abc-789", 1234, function (form) { //);
var theValidator = "first";
form.submittable(false);
form.onValidate(function(nativeValid) {
//******* checks the built in validation *******
if (!nativeValid) return;
//*******Checks the email using ZeroBounce ********//
/*Create variable for email address user input*/
var currentValues = form.getValues();
var emailToTest = currentValues.Email;
jQuery.get({
url: ajaxurl,
data:{"dataType":"json","action":"wordpress_function_name","email":emailToTest},
success: function (resp){
if (theValidator == "first"){
var emailObjForErrors = form.getFormElem().find("#Email");
if (resp=="invalid"||resp == "unknown"||resp == "spamtrap"||resp == "abuse"||resp == "do_not_mail"){
form.showErrorMessage("The email you've entered is invalid. Please try again.", emailObjForErrors);
}
else {
form.submittable(true);
theValidator = "second";
form.submit();
}
}
else{
return;
}
}
}); //Get function ends
});/*onValidate ends here*/
}); //Form load ends
</script> <!-- End Marketo Form -->
If anyone needs help setting up ZeroBounce + Wordpress + Marketo in the future and this thread doesn't solve it for you feel free to reach out... 🙂
