Switching from iframes to embedded forms

Hi All,

We are currently redeveloping our website and instead of using iframes for forms, we'll be embedding the forms instead (Drupal). My question is, are there any resources that explain how I can get a certain action to trigger via these forms. (Ex: Send a white paper when a form is filled out on a certain page) It's easy now with the iframes but will the API recognize "Form Filled Out" on "XYZ URL"? I feel like this is a pretty elementary question but I couldn't find anything on it.

Hi Ashley,

I'm not sure if the same filters would work for embedded forms (if filled out form on XYZ page, then...). However, you can always add a hidden value on the form to ensure that the right program picks up the form submission. My guess is that you are wanting to use one form in multiple locations?

The trigger Fills Out Form will still work.

Sometimes people use the Constraint Referrer instead of on Page X. Should work either way.

Yes, we have about 5-6 forms that we'll use (one for white paper, one for demo, etc.) Adding a hidden value seems like it should do the trick.

You don't need a hidden value.  The web page on which the form was filled out is available as a trigger (for embedded forms as well).

Hi Ashley,

Are you using the Embed Code that's provided for all of your Marketo forms?  If so, then there shouldn't be any problem with your trigger campaigns reacting to these form fill outs.  The activity for the forms will be logged in your lead records, just like any other form in Marketo, and that's what the triggers in your campaigns will be looking for.

Yes, I'm not the technical one but we are using the embed code for all Marketo forms. Thanks!
