File Upload Field

[Anonymous]

How do I set a form field that allows the user to upload file or image?

[Justin_Cooperm2]

Where is the file going to be uploaded? We don't support upload to Design Studio via forms.

We issue media credentials and need to allow a lead to upload a head shot of themselves. The image would be uploaded with the rest of the data, like we're currently able to do with Formstack.

You can't upload files right now, but you can add a textbox where they can insert a link to an image on the web and then store that. If you need to do file i/o, you'll have to write a custom adapter or use a 3rd party offering.

[Justin_Cooperm2]

By the way, by "write a custom adapter" I mean leverage our APIs to create a file in Marketo. You would have to manage the I/O though.

Jared, although Marketo doesn't officially support file fields on leads, I posted this method time ago and it should be a great fit for a headshot pic: HOWTO: Attach images to a Forms 2.0 form post.

For a more robust solution I am a gigantic fan of Uploadcare​.  Tell them I sent you (I don't get any referral or anything, I just promised them more Marketo folks would be into it).  Let me know if you want to see a sample integration.

Hey Sanford,

I'd love to see a sample integration--  I am looking at this MktoForms2 :: Uploadcare  and I am wondering if that is the sample of which you speak? 

[SanfordWhiteman]

Yep, that's a pretty good one. I added a little more validation just now.

There are other ways to insert the host INPUT element -- the element that gets augmented with the UploadCare widget HTML. Here you see I create the host element dynamically via addHiddenFields and then move it where I want in the form (i.e. at the top).

[Paul_Drago]

Just got back to this and I used more or less the same implementation--  UploadCare widget, input the element into HTML.  Let UploadCare populate the URI.     Super Simple and clean concept-- thanks for the direction Sanford!

[SanfordWhiteman]

Great!
