Re: Marketo Forms in Unbounce

Just to add something to the discussion...

For a partner we're working with to copromote an upcoming webinar, the Marketo form 2.0 that was embedded in our Unbounce form just wouldn't load. I had him verify his javascript settings, but it still wouldn't load. I wasn't able to recreate the issue and I went through code verification with a fine toothed comb. The only thing I can think of as causing their issue is that there's a firewall setting preventing javascript from loading.

This presented an issue for me because:
  1. we sell into the finance industry and I can assume that, given the confidential sensitivity of data in the industry, there are likely a lot of our prospect companies that could have similar settings
  2. our conversion rates are lower than I would expect on click throughs from digital advertising
So I decided to try something new; I copied the page source code from the unbounce page to a Marketo landing page (using a blank, no css template) and added the Marketo form on the Marketo landing page, since then javascript wouldn't be an issue. 

It seems to have worked fine. The page will still detect if it's being accessed from a mobile device and then redirect to the mobile Unbounce page we created. 

This likely won't be an issue for the majority of Unbounce/Marketo users (<0.02% browsers in the US have javascript disabled), but I couldn't risk this cross-promotion being a flop because of javascript/firewall issues.

Hi Amanda,

We're just setting up our Unbounce pages for the first time.  When you added your Munchkin code, did you place it before the body end tag, after the body tag, or in the head?

Also, how did your "hack" work out when you copied the Unbounce page source into a Marketo landing page?  Sounds like this might be the easier option.

Thanks!

Hi Irene,

Place the munchkin code in the head. As for my hack, copying the Unbounce source code to a blank Marketo template didn't really work - it wouldn't render properly. 

I've now engaged a developer to create a webhook so that I can use Unbounce forms on Unbounce pages. Hopefully this will solve the issue!

Let me know if you need more help.

Re: Marketo Forms in Unbounce

hi Amanda. I'm getting an invalid HTML error when I try to embed the Marketo script into the Custom HTML Unbounce field. Did you do anything special on the Unbounce side, to successfully display the Marketo's form code?

I've placed the the Munchkin script on the bottom left Unbounce and its works ok, just can't make the Unbounce form come to life.

cheers

Hi Jon,

Are you using the new Form 2.0 format and the embed code that it provides? Is Unbounce giving you an error when you put the code into the edit page, or when you've viewing a saved page?

Thanks,

Amanda

Hello Amanda,

We followed the instructions on the developer website to a T (http://developers.marketo.com/blog/integrating-unbounce-and-marketo/) and are also getting the error. Can you walk me through exactly how you got this to work with the embed code in the unbounce settings on the back end?

Hi Amanda,

I'm not quite sure what you mean about the unbounce settings on the back end. I need more info and will message you on LinkedIn.

Thanks,

Amanda
