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.

    Hey there, budding Forms 2.0 JS developer! Do you really know how local And snippet B: Yes, the typo in alerb is deliberate, and appears in both A and B. To save your eyesight: the only difference markup-wise is the number ofBut again, if you separated them into two

  • Saving the last form post (all fields!) to a Textarea
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 09-13-2021 quickview

    Here’s something you may not know you wanted... but it’s super-useful for precise personalization. (It’s also a prerequisite for an upcoming HOWTO post that’s very exciting, so I wanted to get it out first.) As you know, when Marketo gets a form submission, it stores the submitted values — no more, ...

    @lauran0elle you don't need the changes in this post anymore (they've been incorporated into the product by default). You only need to load forms from your LP domain and they'll work fine.

  • Inverting the submitted value of a Forms 2.0 Checkbox
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 08-08-2021 quickview

    The Forms 2.0 Checkbox type works straightforwardly: if it’s checked, it sends the string “yes” to Marketo, and if it’s unchecked, it sends the string “no”.If the corresponding Marketo field is a Boolean, the “yes” is saved as true, and the “no” is saved as false.[1]This behavior is desired almost a...

    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 07-26-2021 quickview

    Memory still matters!RAM sticks are cheap and plentiful, and it’s been over a decade since everyday users needed to worry about memory usage on their desktop or laptop.Yet that’s not the case on the server side. There’s still a pretty low ceiling for per-process/per-tenant RAM allocation in traditio...

    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 07-01-2021 quickview

    Marketo's URL field type is a weird wee beastie. For one thing, it’s not long enough to fit all URLs (you can store decoded URLs to save space).For another, although a URL value must begin with http:// or https:// when validated on a form (indeed, absolute URLs must have a protocol part[1]) includin...

  • Don’t choose “promo” as your Marketo LP domain (promo.example.com)
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 06-28-2021 quickview

    We usually say you can choose any subdomain as your Marketo LP domain, as long as it’s not already used by your company: pages.example.com, lp.example.com, get.example.com, signup.example.com, whatever-sounds-right.example.com. But in truth there are subdomains you definitely should not choose: prom...

    Couldn't have said it better than @Christiane_Rode. It's about comparative reporting. We have a lot of trouble claiming something is invisibly working.

  • The Marketo ↔︎ Salesforce “URL” type supports Unicode: make sure your ...
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 06-06-2021 quickview

    It’s well-established that SFDC’s URL field type isn’t up to the task of storing real-world URLs, since it maxes out at 255 characters.[1]What isn’t discussed much, if at all, is that those 255 characters aren’t limited to ASCII. Indeed, a URL field can contain an IRI, a.k.a. URL with Unicode charac...

  • Re: Marketo Success Series: Forms
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 06-03-2021

    for error check and auditing purposes, what is the best way to export form data into a report?An Activity Log extract via the REST API contains the details of each Filled Out Form activity. This is the only way to see the form data as originally processed by Marketo.
