maybe you made the example a bit too complicated by putting 4 fields into a row Yeah, that's b/c while people say "2-column" at first they too often say "...except for this one field, which should span 2 columns" later. So I plan for complications, allowing both 2-column and 1-column fieldsets. The CSS is still really simple, as you can see.

The reason I mentioned the order is that certain responsive designs inherently change the order, like the one in my linked demo. The 2-col to 1-col wrap while preserving the My Name → Friend's Name navigation means either specific markup or responsive JS (and even as a dev I hate writing onresize stuff). Also once I go with flex I don't like to switch "back" to block for mobile.

@Victor_Herrero do you have a sample page for me to look at?

Here's one I worked on for a (yet unpublished) blog post: MktoForms2 :: 2-column-to-1-column wrap, tab index aware, via flex and order The most important consideration is tab order. The flexbox-based layout in and of itself is easy, but maintaining the right user navigation experience isn't.

Do you know how this function works re a boolean True/False field. Default will be False, so it will technically have a value. Not always true. In the broader picture, Marketo Booleans are nullable, so they actually have 3 states: null, false, true. In some cases, like form progressive profiling, null and false are both considered empty. In other cases, like the one you're wondering about, null is coerced to false and they're both considered non-empty. In still other cases null and false are distinct. Unfortunately, locking a Boolean value to true isn't possible using Block Field Updates. This is one of the reasons I shy away from Booleans wherever a DateTime can better model the business process (DateTimes represent the time a setting flipped to true/truthy in addition to the fact that it's true.) What's the purpose of the field you're referring to?

You can't replace a file with another filename (this is always the case regardless of the file type/s). Upload the file as .XML and use my embedding method shown above.

SanfordWhiteman

Great.

As this needs to be after the form embed code we can cant place it in head section and as per my understanding in guided template we cant add the script in elements. You can add a script in a mktoEditable element. I typically allocate one element for that purpose, placed just before the closing </body> tag, called Footer JS or similar.

Well, your change broke the original functionality. input isn't the same as change, and the choice to use input was 100% deliberate. As I mentioned above, the <select> element needs to use change (but not input), while <input> subtypes need to use input (but not change). The code needs to be refactored to ensure that each fired event only pertains to its relevant subset of the element types. It's not changing just one line of code. (P.S. The type of a <select> isn't select.)

Need to the see the page that form is on. Epoch time is not normal; it should be an ISO 8601 string.

SanfordWhiteman

You absolutely want String. URL, despite the name, shouldn't be used for full URLs, only protocol + hostname (https://www.example.com).

SanfordWhiteman

Of course! It's always running.

The best you're gonna do is via prefers-color-scheme but it isn't cross-app and cross-OS at this time.

You can't redeclare myArray. That's overwriting (shadowing, technically, but in practice the same as overwriting) the whole list you loaded, so you're back to the original list. This dual declaration var myArray = ["yahoo.com", "hotmail.com", "live.com", "aol.com", "msn.com", "outlook.com", "gmail.com"], errorFreemail = "Must be Business email."; needs to be only var errorFreemail = "Must be Business email."; and with this update now even the ones i listed out that did work don't work any more (yahoo.com etc) It does block the ones in the original list, not sure what you mean here.

SanfordWhiteman

You can use FormsPlus::Email Pattern (download v1.0.3 from here and upload to your Design Studio). Demo of usage here: https://codepen.io/figureone/pen/85b9839557e2b684cc22a2b552a67bcb However, there's nothing in the code above — broken as it is — that would affect layout. (Nor is there any such code in FormsPlus:: Email Pattern.) They just change behaviors, not styles.

SanfordWhiteman

Can you please elaborate here. As I believe sorting it date wise won't still provide us to final solution. Sorting is only one part of the steps I outlined above! Sorting a list in advance is how you ensure that once you find the first matching item, you can #break. Sorting doesn't do any matching in itself. It prepares the list for easier processing.* What are you looking for elaboration on? If you implement what I've described, you'll see it meets the requirements. *Yes — for any far-future dev coming upon this post — traversing the list only once to find matches has O(n) complexity, after which you could sort only the matches for probably lower overall complexity. However, even though sorting in advance adds implicit overhead, for the list sizes we deal with in the Marketo Velocity context it makes no difference, and makes for easier-to-read code.

If that's the SOAP API name, yes. P.S. Please use the syntax highlighter (Insert/Edit code sample) when posting code. Each time you paste your code in as unformatted text, I've been editing your post for you and leaving you a note.

SanfordWhiteman

It's adding the field as expected, as you can see if you inspect the page: Make sure in Admin » Field Management that the SOAP name of the field is correct. (Export the field names and check the resulting spreadsheet.)

generally Marketo deletes all anonymous leads that had no web activity in the past 90 days. That's not the case. You're thinking of the Visit Web Page activities themselves, which is different from the lead — the lead being a single associated Munchkin cookie. In fact, even though the documented intent of the retention process is to remove the Visit Web Page activities for both known and anonymous leads once they're > 90 days old, this doesn't happen consistently in practice. You'll see the variety by running the WPA report across a variety of instances. It can return anonymous leads whose last activity was > 90 days ago, and it's not just a frozen timestamp of last activity, you'll see the actual entries on the Activity Log tab. The actual process of when Marketo stops tracking an anonymous session is complex. For example, naturally expired cookies (in all browsers) or forcibly expired cookies (in stricter browsers like Safari) will result in a new cookie being created when the person returns. Thus the same human, in the same browser profile — in addition to the same human across browsers and devices, which is also true — corresponds to multiple anonymous leads.

Calling the API endpoint (what FB calls an "edge", in keeping with its graph terminoligy) /events in itself is a pretty simple task. It supports stateless requests, once you have your non-expiring API access token, so you can set up a webhook accordingly. But the question is how are you getting the data into Marketo in the first place? Some fields must be hashed, for example. And just posting JSON to the endpoint won't hash them for you, you'd either need to hash them ahead of time (perhaps using another webook-enabled service) or call an intermediate API gateway as opposed to calling the FB API directly (the API gw would do the hashing and then send upstream).

... just add the hidden field in the form by the name 'LastFormURL' (keep the autofill option to use default value and leave it blank).. No, you don't have to add the hidden field in Form Editor at all. The JS takes care of everything.

SanfordWhiteman

No, that's the code. There's nothing else. Simply make sure that code runs after the embed code. On non-Marketo pages: put it anywhere after the embed code (since you control placement). On Marketo LPs: put it just above the closing </body> tag.

In this case, I can say that the clicks count that EPR is showing is the combination of real and Bot clicks. And Landing page performance is showing the actual visits count. That's not really it. They both reflect a mixture of automated scanning traffic and human traffic. They are simply measuring different activities. EPR is measuring clicks that may or may not result in pageviews (some mailscanners do pageviews, too, some don't). LPPR is measuring pageviews.

I think you may be misinterpreting what a Google Lead Forms webhook does: it sends lead data out from Google. So it doesn't have any relationship to Marketo webhooks, which send data out from Marketo to a remote service. There's an existing discussion here: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/Product-Discussions/Creating-a-webhook-for-Google-Lead-Forms/m-p/111569#M71602

But the emails are fetching the first available meeting date and not fetching the correct meeting date as per the campaign conditions as one record has multiple meetings. It's not so much "but" — your code specifically seeks the first item in the list (list.get[0] → list[0] → first item). So it's not surprising that that's the one that's used! First, you need to read the seminal post on dates and times in VTL: https://blog.teknkl.com/velocity-days-and-weeks/ Make sure you read the guidance thoroughly as it's critical to getting correct output. Then you would approach the code like this: sort the list, ascending, by your datetime field loop over the sorted list convert the datetime field to a real Calendar object $calAppt (using $convert.toCalendar & $convert.toDate) use $date.difference($calNow,$calAppt).getDays() to determine how many days from now the current appointment is #break out of the loop when you find the first value that's 7 days in the future Note even though you said the field has DateTime and Text variants, they both are Strings when they first enter Velocity and must be created to true Dates/Calendars. You can't do Date math with Strings.

Turning off tracking the the tel: doesn't turn off tracking for other links, but yes, it certainly turns off Clicked Link tracking for that link. (Frankly just as well, since mail scanners are clicking your links & polluting your stats already.)
