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: Problems making a Segment with list

    Wish you'd been there! It was a lot of fun (for me, at least... I think I frightened some people). I'm actually traipsing around the city today to follow up with some folks on topics from the talk. Check out the deck and PM/email me any questions if you're interested.

  • Re: Segments for Dynamic Thank You Page

    John, there are at least two ways to do this (and I very much encourage you to use as few forms and unique LP objects as possible).For both methods, add conditions when setting up the form's Thank You URL. Each URL differs by the query string (landing.example.com/thankyou?report=report1, landing.ex...

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

    (By the way, I want to track all of the forms people fill out)But the method you're following does not create a history field stored directly on the lead record.You can filter on the Filled Out Form events in the Activity Log (until the activities expire, by default 90 days). The field you're conti...

  • 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).

    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...
