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: syncLead creates duplicate

    OK. Without inspecting the code that calls this function, there would be no way to tell you why it's being called twice. Probably there's some broken flow control in the surrounding code. I'll repeat my caution about using the SOAP API even more strongly if this is being used in a LOB app... if you...

    You might think about using Files, which you can upload using the Assets API, as data sources for LP content. (In other words, use a standard LP as a secondary template and populate content from a File).

  • Re: Problems making a Segment with list

    Off-topic but "a square is always a rectangle" is actually a classic CS fallacy. (Circle-ellipse problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia​)

    Dan, following on Kenny's comment, if you wish to use your landing page domain(s) over https -- and I absolutely think you should -- you'll need to upload your SSL cert to Marketo. There's an on-boarding fee associated with this, but it's worth it. Do note that unless you have a dedicated IP address...

  • Re: Dynamic content based on URL parameter

    I don't see how not knowing the visitor matters, unless you are planning to pass the full URL to the affiliate's logo in the query string (thus your Marketo instance doesn't have to know anything about the affiliate).Anyway, the segment trick is just a shortcut. Any other customization based on URL ...

  • Re: Dynamic content based on URL parameter

    Sure, in fact you can pass a segment identifier in the URL. example.com?brand=123Co will display the page as if the person were in the segment "123Co" of segmentation "brand."

  • solved badge Re: Possible to add which form was filled out to a smart list?

    Or do I create a custom field that is named "Form Title", for which I add the form title in a text field on the form itself? This is what John meant. I wouldn't call it Form Title, though. I'd call it something like Last Form Title (if you are not preventing people from overwriting it on subseque...

  • solved badge Re: Alternative to expiring tokens for a routine process

    Alex, for those working exclusively from the command line, an invaluable tool is jq. It's a command-line JSON parser, a function that (due to the nature of time and space) isn't supported in Windows batch files. Parsing JSON responses from cURL is key to safely creating cURL-based REST connections...

  • Re: Two Part Form Submittal

    A Smart Campaign that triggers on the first form name. That's the power of this solution: each form stage is a separate activity in Marketo.

    Look at the Activity Log for a new lead. Click the Filled Out Form activity. What's the web page shown there?
