Zip/Postal Code Lookup for auto populating City/State/Country

[Gunpreet_Kaur1]

Looking to get ideas on what others do or use third-party to populate city, state, and country based on postal/zip code entered on web forms.

Hi @Gunpreet_Kaur1,

This is actually something I've helped implement at two separate companies now.  Because some countries use similar zip codes, you will still need to ask for country on your forms, but once you have that, you can create separate smart campaigns to populate the state.  I think there are also vendors like Openprise that do this as well, but you can easily build this yourself within Marketo.  Here is a good site to use when breaking out zip codes by state: https://www.unitedstateszipcodes.org/ca/ 

For city, this will be difficult if you don't ask for zip+4 because many cities share the same zip code. 

Example Smart Campaign:

Thank you for the suggest!

Easier to do using a webhook than Smart Lists due to the sheer number of international options.

Google Places lookup can be called from a webhook: https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search

If you're really adventurous, this blog post shows how to use a static file to enrich from Zips to States: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/Product-Blogs/Extremely-Strange-Webhooks-Vol-1-HTTP-Range-Queries/bc-p.... Not incredibly easy to set up the file, but once it's done, it can actually be called from the form too (which is much better for saving server resources).
