File upload field into form ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I would like to integrate an file upload field into a Marketo form.

Do you think it is possible ? What's the hack to build that kind of thing ?

Many thanks

Thanks for the answer Sanford with some delay 😕

I was not enough clear I think : I don't need to upload some files on a landing page but let some visitors have the possibility to upload a file on the form.

Do you think it is possible ?

Thanks

Alex,

The challenge is where your hosting the file once it's uploaded, currently that's not an available feature to post files to Marketo.

So your design would have to incorporate a separate place that accepts the upload and then make it look like it's all part of the same form.

Finally you'd have to tie in the Marketo form submit action to complete or tell wherever the file is going to be held that the transaction is complete.

could get a bit messy.

Keep in mind the scope or goal is lead conversion with Marketo forms.

My demo specifically allows leads to upload a file along with a form.  Did you actually try it?

I also use a third-party service to accomplish this when the file sizes are more variable (the method above is suited for small images such as avatars).  The service meshes effortlessly with Marketo.  You can follow me on the Community and I'll send you more about it.
