Is there a way to limit who can see or fill out a form based on their segment?

Michelle Oliphant​ as you are still listening in this thread the correct answer is actually "Yes."  You can hide the form based on segment,   Segment the LP and wherever you want to hide the form, set the form to a placeholder form.  Let's say form ID 999.  Then just add CSS mktoForm_999 { display: none; }.  That way, anybody who would see your placeholder instead sees nothing.  Everybody else sees the form set for their segment.

Sanford Whiteman​ Well, blow me down. I remember trying for ages circa 2012 (I think) to segment a form and it didn't seem possible. That is good to see it's possible.

I didn't know it was either until I tried some stuff today... these challenges are really distracting!

Sanford Whiteman​ Don't let yourself get too distracted, remember you have some response-tracking tools to build!

I don't think you can hide the form, but you can use segmentation and snippets to control the follow up page. Allow them to fill out the form, then on the follow up page change the message depending on the segment via a snippet. Then, as your first flow step, remove them from the smart campaign if their segment equals your desired excluded criteria.

I haven't tested this, but you might be able hide part of the form based upon a segment. You would build it out and only show if the segment is XXX and that XXX can be defined by URL parameter, so for the aduience that you want to see it, you pass the parameter in the communcation, for those that stumble across it without the parameter, they would only see the base form.

The other thing to consider is that you can capture all information, but based upon segment you process it and next steps can vary based upon segment.

Food for thought...
