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.

    Yeah, that's consistent with my impressions of RTP in that it's for anonymous segmentation.

  • Re: Affiliate tracking with anonymous ID

    You already have to use JS to populate the hidden field, because that's how you choose a unique Id on the client (perhaps referrer prefix + timestamp + Math.random()).

    Hey Steve, if you search the community for "HOWTO" you'll quickly find my posts on this. Since we're following each other, we can also DM, or I could stop by to give more of a tutorial, since we're in the same area!

  • Re: Pre-form fills using API

    BTW I do have a solution for this. It was actually part of my MUG talk last month. I've been wary of publishing it here, but I'm working with a couple of Community members on it. If you follow me back we can talk about it.

  • Re: Affiliate tracking with anonymous ID

    Jamie, I assume we're talking about unique IDs per referred lead (which can be tied to the referrer via a static prefix like ReferrerCo-129873254) but not the same field for all leads. If one just wants one field to ident ReferrerCo, then you could look for Filled Out Form constrained by a Referrer...

  • Re: Pre-form fills using API

    Storing the values submitted from that same browser in a cookie (or, even better, in the browser's LocalStorage, but same idea) is easy. But that doesn't duplicate the functionality of prefill, since if someone uses a new device or clears cookies there's no longer a source for that data -- compared...

  • Re: Affiliate tracking with anonymous ID

    Using the Forms 2.0 JS API, add a randomly generated ID to the form as a hidden field. That ID becomes a unique "job ID" for the form fillout. Note that if you're not keeping a history of that field, then it will be overwritten if the same lead gets referred again, so you should block updates to i...

  • Re: Pre-form fills using API

    I don't know anything about RTP (we don't have the module, either) but it seems unlikely.Checking the Referer wouldn't make any difference, as a malicious user would just fake the Referer. The direct problem is the tight coupling of one form post = one API call. Like I said to another user, if the...

  • Re: SPAM from Lead Form

    To me, that fake ReCAPTCHA 2 looks far worse than a real ReCAPTCHA 2. Two mutually exclusive checkboxes? I don't care if the question is purposely absurd, the UI needs to make sense.Plus it's effortlessly fakeable if someone targets your particular form (a little human special sauce + a bot = jus...
