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: Index Custom Fields in Marketo

    any search on a datetime field is resource intensive as it stores a very large INT value.DATETIMEs are stored as 2 INT32s. (This makes your point even stronger than just INT32 vs INT<32!) I'm uncomfortable making assumptions about the Marketo data model, though, since it's not like an in-house OLTP ...

  • Re: Schedule / Approve Imports before they kick off

    We're working on that, but that's probably an expensive solution for SMBs that don't have developers. It should just be included.I kind of meant a third-party solution. For optimal modularization, I think Marketo should have an option Allow signed import files only (with only Admins allowed to uploa...

  • Re: Schedule / Approve Imports before they kick off

    Agreed. A smaller/local company too (for the reasons Courtney mentioned) can be brought to a halt. How about gatewaying all imports through the REST API, so you can validate/queue/approve/etc.?

  • Re: Add Form Submission Date to Smart List Options

    I would suggest you do this from the form (in the onSubmit event), not from a flow, if you're trying to be time-accurate. Under load a form fillout may not hit the flow for (I've seen) 15 minutes or more.

  • Re: Script layer/extensions for Email 2.0 Editor

    You can't have the script check to see where it's running, because that means the script is always present in the email (even when sent). You have to check the context (preview vs. actual send) before even displaying the

  • Re: Hiding a form field should turn off prefill by default

    Only if you don't test it. I think this is like the pURL oddities: you have to get the order of operations. Then there's nothing to screw up, because you build your solutions to the rules.

  • Re: Hiding a form field should turn off prefill by default

    Furthermore, if I have an initialUTMMedium field, I'll block updates in the admin section.That blocks all updates from form fills. For selective updates based on runtime info, you can't use a blanket administrative block. When recording attribution history, we make a lot of (JS-based) judgments bef...

  • Re: Hiding a form field should turn off prefill by default

    I don't think there's anything not "proper" about the behavior, it just needs to be understood. I actualy voted down because it would be a big BC break if the default changes (not changing defaults is a major software design principle).Yes, it's true that if you want data to be automatically overwri...

  • Re: Script layer/extensions for Email 2.0 Editor

    Yeah, IFRAME is just a window with a regular document and its DOM.Shadow DOM refers to HTML fragments that are used to build reusable Web Components (WCs aren't even close to widespread availability in browsers). For example, you might have a totally custom datepicker widget that -- like anything on...
