Pre-population of Fields

Are there constraints that pre-population does not work when forms are used in external sites with embed code? Thanks for any help you can provide!

There is that constraint -- but there are options.

One is to use a server-side API call to prepop the data.

Another is a special trick I am literally working on as we speak and will publsh in a couple of days (doesn't require API).

We created guided landing pages in Marketo and put them in an iFrame on our external website. It didn't impacted the look and feel and we're able to leverage all the Forms 2.0 functionalities. Here's an article about implementing Marketo forms on the websites: Revenue Pulse | Marketo Consulting – Implementing Marketo Forms On Your Website – What’s Best For Yo...
