I'm a web, database, and network architect based in NYC, with specializations in the financial services, publishing, and SaaS sectors. I build complex Marketo integrations for companies large and small... and can make Marketo forms and emails do things you never thought possible! Check out my blog at https://blog.teknkl.com, which has Marketo-specific technical insights you won't see anywhere else, along with wider topics from my programming and systems work.

  • Re: The comprehensive guide to setting up the unsubscribe link

    That's exactly what you don't want to do. It's the DoS attack vector of a lifetime - all I need to do is randomize a mkt_tok and drain all your API calls. The right way to look it up is using my client-side method Dave links to here: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/product-discussions/filling-in-field...

  • Re: The comprehensive guide to setting up the unsubscribe link

    1. Does the created page need to have an embedded Marketo form to work? or is it possible to leverage standard HTML forms that will send make a call to a backend to use Marketo REST API to modify the field based on the user changes?The Submit Form REST API endpoint exists, but it's not recommended u...

  • Re: Displaying literal curly braces {{ }} in LPs and emails

    Can you please show a screenshot of that part of the email? I'm not aware of a regression that would stop method from working.

  • A curiosity with slash-escapes (\n, \r, \s) in the Marketo webhook edi...

    Though the Marketo webhook feature is infinitely better than any other webhook/callout feature I’ve used — its flexibility can unleash wonders — the webhook editor has a tiny learning curve. If your webhook templates are adventurous enough[1] you may encounter this error: The error message comes fro...

    It’s easy to get distracted by setting up DKIM (everyone still should, don’t get me wrong) and SPF (users with custom envelope sender domains should, but standard shared instances don’t need to) and overlook other DNS tasks. Surprisingly, those “top o’ the setup checklist” DNS records are more nice-...

  • Temporarily show hidden field values (for debugging conversion trackin...

    Whether your tracking logic uses standard UTMs, custom query params, or other dimensions, you’re gonna need hidden form fields. Problem is... they’re hidden. And – take it from someone who’s built 3 separate fairly-full-fledged tracking libraries — debugging hidden fields can be really annoying. You...

    There’s a post in my drafts explaining that you don’t need any custom lightbox code in modern browsers — neither MktoForms2.lightbox() nor a 3ʳᵈ-party library. In the meantime, though, duty calls. A Nation user had already decided to use the Lity lightbox library but couldn’t figure out why their fo...

  • Re: Yes, Virginia, you can use emojis in Marketo Subject lines

    That's not a straight quote (being used as an apostrophe) in your screenshot. It's a curly single quote, which isn't ASCII.
