Forms in email - clicked link tracking?

[Phillip_Wild]

Hi everyone

I've been playing around with a form in email (hat tip to this great Email on Acid blog post!)

Here's the code:

<tr>
 <td align="left"><form method="get" action="https://www.gadventures.com/search">
 <input type="text" name="q" placeholder="Where to next?" style="background-color: #eeeeee; border: 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; padding-left: 4px; color: #2d2d2d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"/>
 <input type="submit" id="search" value="search" style="display:none;"/>
 </form>
 
 
 </td>
 <td align="right" style="padding: 0 10px;"><label for="search" style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="https://arcdn.net/ActionRocket/Blog-article/search-in-email/search.png" alt="Search" width="39" height="39" style="display:block;"></label></td>
 </tr>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Would a click or press of "enter" to search in the email result in a Marketo Clicks Link in Email action? Doesn't look like it does. That makes it tough to evaluate success, although I guess we could just do it via Google Analytics...you do lose all the Munchkin tracking though, which is great for lead scoring.

Any ideas?

To get the Munchkin association, this should work:

<input type="hidden" name="mkt_tok" value="##MKT_TOK##">‍

But the Click Link tracking rewrite isn't gonna happen. (Would you trust it anyway? )

Thanks Sanford! Just to be totally clear, the value in "##MKT_TOK##" would be our Munchkin ID?

[SanfordWhiteman]

Nope, literally "##MKT_TOK##".

Hmm....I wouldn't have guessed that!
