Re: Forms 2.0 : embedded forms do not prefill ?

Anonymous · ‎01-24-2014

I've just tried to implement new forms on my domain. Works great. Thus I could switch all my forms and stop doing the "iframe" workarounds.
One major issue I don't succeed in fixing : pre-fill does not seem to work / fields do not populate with my lead details.

Anyone can help with this ?

Thanks all. Love you.

Here is the product team's official stance on this:

For pre-fill to work on embedded forms, it requires a publicly accessible API that retrieves lead information, which can include personally identifiable information such as email addresses, mailing addresses, names, and phone numbers. For us to make enable pre-fill on embedded forms in a responsible manner, we need to make certain that the API is created in such a way that it’s acceptably protected from brute force attacks that could allow an attacker to retrieve information about all leads by guessing Marketo cookie values, as well as making certain that the API doesn’t expose leads to XSS (cross-site script) attacks that could be used by an attacker to steal a lead’s info when they visit the attacker’s site. These issues doesn't exist when the form is on a Marketo landing page because we process the content of the page on our servers and there is no API exposed publicly.

This is 100% on our roadmap and we know how much customers would like this...it just requires a very thorough review by our internal security team. I plan to work on this next year.

The lack of pre-fill in the embedded forms is actively preventing many companies from migrating to Forms 2.0 functionality.

Can we please have an update on when this pre-fill functionality will be added? I am asked by clients on a weekly basis.

+1...our business has plans for multiple external websites over the next year, and progressive profiling is critical to the user experience.

+1 really would love to have that form prefill back....

Amanda makes a great case here. I agree with Amanda that the use case is really for sites we own/control.

For me, we sell through the channel. We create partner landing pages to be hosted on their sites through MDF funding so they can be funneled into or Marketo instance. It will be a fantastic boost if we have this function to replace our now painfull work arounds to get leads into our Marketo instance from our partner websites.

Jason - if the concern is about security issues in presenting personal information to third party sites, shouldn't we be able to manage that in our forms settings? We're embedding forms on web pages we own and control, not random sites, so I'm not sure what the security issue is.

Same here, that will be really great, indeed!

Hi Jason,

For those of us on a newer Marketo instance, is there a way to select forms 1.0?
*Since embeded forms 2.0 cannot pre-fill?

Thanks,
Alex

A bit too early to provide an exact ETA, but it's absolutely a line item for us for 2014.

Stay tuned!

The embedded forms are kinda useless for us without the pre-fill ability. Any time frame for getting this in?

Anonymous · ‎03-18-2014

Same here, waiting for the pre-fill to work before we can migrate our forms. Do you guys have any timeline in mind for when the embedded form will work properly (ie. with pre-fill)?

Anonymous · ‎03-13-2014

Definite +1 on prefill for embedded forms. We will have to stick with original forms unless this gets fixed.

Michelle_Tizian · ‎02-28-2014

Progressive profing is now working on forms.

But the funktion to say what field i always want to show is not there in a good way.

Meaning i like to have a Contact check box under the Progressive profiling as the last thing the user need to check.

Now it look like this. Not Pretty

+1 on getting pre-fill to work on embedded forms. Seriously limits the utility of forms without it, and I suspect many customers are like us and embed forms on their on CMS pages pretty exclusively.

Hi Jason.

The comment in my post about this topic can you clearfy what this mean?
"Jason Comment: This isn't something available on embedded pages. Progressive profiling, however, will work on embedded forms with the February release"

Per Cathal's earlier post, this was a conscious design decision we made due to security concerns in exposing customer data via APIs to pre-fill on external webpages.

We've gotten heads up around this and are giving it some thought, though it is not something I expect we will turn around in a fortnight.

Nichole_Cunnin4 · ‎01-24-2014

I agree. Please fast track the pre-fill. We rely really heavily on the pre-filling to speed the ease of the registration process.
