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: Restricting numbers and symbols from Name text fields

    What @Takehiro said, like in onValidate:if ( /(\d|^First$)/i.test(vals().Firstname ) ) { // kick them back out with an error}However I'd be wary of trying to account for too many "fake" names. Eventually you run up against a false positive, especially in your own debugging (I frequently use "San...

  • Re: Multiple File Download From Form

    While I agree with @Amy L, if you're talking about redirecting to both files at once (so the user is prompted to download both of them) that's, in practice, impossible, though it does work with one file. However providing both links should suffice.

  • Re: Best Practice: Hosting external facing resources in Marketo?

    As an overall goal you should be able to trust your assets to reside on Marketo's servers as much as you trust Marketo to be up and running in general. There's no reason to arbitrarily create another point of failure by hosting assets elsewhere.However, there's no single best practice because if yo...

  • solved badge Re: Update form prefill when a user changes

    To completely reassociate the form with a new lead identified by email requires 2 steps.1. Delete cookies and reload the page as to create a fresh form view.2. Set the email address and reload the page again to get the form prefilled.This code (in a landing page HTML widget) will set you on the righ...

  • Re: Progressive profile based on stage

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but it sounds like you can use existing ProgPro for this together with a little JS. Create a simple field that holds whether the prospect has passed a progressive threshold: this'll be the field you set to "yes" or leave blank using Flows on the back end.Add this fi...

  • Re: String Data Type for 1 to Many relationship

    The "best" data type has a human component -- do you want humans to be able to read this field easily, or is it just read by a machine (API), or both?IMO the best and most flexible datatype is JSON, an industry standard for data interchange. However, while it is somewhat readable to humans, it's no...

  • solved badge Re: Update form prefill when a user changes

    @simon When I say it's the expected behavior, I mean that if you don't supply additional info there's no way for the form to know that you have anything different/more current than the prefill info.Here's a demo (do view-source to see how it works) with the First Name filled in via prefill by defaul...

    Please post your full code (maybe to a Gist or something like that because this forum isn't good for code blocks).

  • solved badge Re: Update form prefill when a user changes

    One way to combat this is to embed the e-mail address in the link. Then you can compare the email address that is prefilled with the "current" email address and change the field value accordingly.It's not an easy problem to solve, though, because it isn't really a problem but more like the way we e...
