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.

    @Dan use "//app-xxx.marketo.com". You must've customized that because that's what the embed code usually looks like ("scheme-relative" or "protocol-relative" URL).Be aware that loading non-HTTPS resources within an HTTPS page is going to either fail or generate a user-facing warning in modern brows...

    @Justin I agree about the sudden appearance thing. You can mitigate it a bit by hiding the form container (opacity: 0) and then fading it in. But ultimately it always has to "appear" by itself unless you hold off rendering the entire content container of your page until the last bit is rendered. ...

    Well, you can't "keep" your custom fields only on the form, they have to be known to Marketo if you want the lead fields to be updated accordingly.Other than that, a server-side form post, and then a Marketo trigger on the Filled Out Form activity would do the trick.Honestly though, if you don't nee...

    I think you need to define exactly what "sync" means. If it means, "Post form data to my local database and also to Marketo," then a server-side form post will do you fine, independent of CMS. We have a bespoke site so I can't speak to WordPress integrations, but if you have some coding experienc...

  • Re: Storing URL Parameters UTM in cookie -- from landing page to our ....

    Also note that new, organic, anonymous hits to Site 1 -- as opposed to links followed between the sites -- won't be able to tell Site 1 about a cookie that might've been set by Site 2 unless you do some pretty fancy footwork with redirects. I don't know how advanced you are as a developer but that ...

  • Re: Storing URL Parameters UTM in cookie -- from landing page to our ....

    Is there any way that Munchkin, or some form of cookie tracking can storm the original UTM in a cookie from a Marketo landing page...To echo @Edward, no purely cookie-based tracking can pass values from pages.landingdomain.co.uk to www.jpr.com, because they do not share what I call the eSLD (effecti...

    I like your parlor trick, man. To get even more tricky:H1[class^="04"].PM {/* rules for 4:00 - 4:59pm */}H1[class^="03"].AM {/* rules for 3:00 - 3:59am */}

  • Re: Logging Marketo emails as SFDC activities

    We have a Salesforce trigger that creates a new "Marketo Activity" custom object with the owner and such fixed up (and then we delete the original generic Activitiy). Something to think about.

  • Re: Leverage external css and js in Marketo Landing page?

    @Ian using the html element to increase specificity is fine, but just a type selector has very weak specificity and there's no guarantee it won't be overriden by something you guys add in the Marketo CSS. The (I hope correct) assumption that you won't use !important still makes that the safest bet I...

  • Re: Outlook and emails

    What @Justin said, plus realize that if somebody clicks a link, that becomes a "Synthetic Open" even if they never downloaded images, or if they just saw the text-only version of the email. In other words, you can't use Opens to gauge the useability of images in your emails (both tracking images an...
