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: Web form API Sync into Marketo - Not Marketo Form - Help!

    With (7) you open your Marketo instance -- and this form post implementation in particular -- to an easy Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Unless you're paying $ for more API calls, you only have 10,000 API calls per day to be shared among all of your integrations. The daily limit can be just fine as...

  • Re: Prefill a non Marketo form with Data from munchkin cookie

    DJ, I don't think you're passing form data using Munchkin... Munchkin primarily tracks page views and clicks.There are no values stored in the Munchkin cookie. This is a common misperception. The Munchkin cookie associates your browser activities with a new or preexisting lead. The Munchkin API ass...

  • Re: Web form API Sync into Marketo - Not Marketo Form - Help!

    Certainly the client-side hidden form post is technically possible, since it doesn't involve server code at all (that is, if you didn't have a server you controlled, the server-side options wouldn't be available, but you almost always have control on the client).There are 7 technologies I can think ...

  • Re: Web form API Sync into Marketo - Not Marketo Form - Help!

    Lindsay, the decision to use an API call for every form post was reckless. You can tell your engineering team I said that. I strongly recommend you change the architecture. You can still use your custom form but use a hidden form post​ as detailed by Marketo's Kenny E. Then you will no longer be...

  • Re: Campaigns from Dynamic or External Values

    Jodie, the expression "trigger an email campaign" suggests you want to listen for Data Value Changed events. Thus the value needs to be some kind of Marketo field. While it's theoretically possible to use methods like a "sentinel" score field that you increment when you want to trigger a campaign (...

  • Re: Form 2.0 prefill when embedding

    I'm talking about the DoS risk aspect in addition to the PII leakage aspect. With 10,000 API calls per day shared among all your integrations, you're taking a tremendous risk by allowing individual web actions to take up one API call each. A malicious individual with just a simple cable connectio...

  • Re: Form 2.0 prefill when embedding

    But the technique in that blog post creates a DoS vulnerability for your Marketo instance. A company with an understanding of risk -- if not security per se -- should reject that option out of hand. You'd be ignoring the security concern and allowing malicious users to break your other integrations...

  • solved badge Re: Any update on forms 2.0 prefill for embedded forms?

    It is still officially the case, for sure. There are, however, crafty ways to engineer this functionality. I demoed one of them at the NY MUG in August. If you want to know more about it, follow me, then I'll follow back and you can PM me. Or just hit me at sandy@figureone.com.
