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: Landing Pages Look Different In Internet Explorer/Chrome -- Proble...

    @Stephen S There are enough very different IEs in the wild right now that you can't just say "IE." If you are forced to support IE 8 (let alone IE 7) opacity is known to be pretty wack. However, modern IE has no problem at all keeping up with the Chromes and Firefoxes. What exact version of IE ar...

  • Re: Expiration links in Marketo

    @All - A trick to accomplish this uses the Advanced Thank You feature of Forms 2.0. Using this feature, you can check to see if a form field is in a date range and have the final URL change automatically.So first create a custom field in Marketo called formPostDate or whatever. You need only have ...

  • Re: Dashboarding with Leftronic SOAP API issues

    Seconding @Jep, it really doesn't make sense to expect any old remote query of a transactional db, with the additonal overhead of a Web API, to perform acceptably. For some queries yeah, but for others you want your dashboard to be querying a data warehouse. Maintain that warehouse yourself using ...

  • Re: Sending secure emails using Outlook Add-in/Is it possible?

    AFAIK the connection between the Outlook Add-In and Marketo uses HTTPS. This means that part is as secure as the connection between Outlook and Exchange. However as @Josh well points out, the subsequent connection will not be secure as Marketo is using public SMTP to send to the recipient (just as...

  • Re: How to add onclick attribute to the submit button?

    As @Max S says, hook the onValidate event.Another simple, runnable example here.Note the Marketo Forms 2.0 object model/API is an enhanced wrapper around a real HTML

    . This is great because it allows you to use standard behaviors (such as the native onSubmit event) and interrogate the form element

  • Re: Tracking each PDF downloading through TEXT Email

    It seems like people are talking about two different things.One is tracking clicks on links within text-only emails. If you enclose the link in [[square brackets]] then Marketo will make it a trackable link, i.e. users will bounce off http://click.example.com and then get redirected to the PDF. Th...

  • Re: Tracking each PDF downloading through TEXT Email

    In the text variation of the email put the [[http://example.com/1.pdf]] in square brackets.

  • Re: Can marketo auto change form field language?

    It's extremely easy to enable this with basically one line of JavaScript (no jQuery).This is the same form in two different languages:http://s.codepen.io/figureone/debug/GgYXvE?#en-ushttp://s.codepen.io/figureone/debug/GgYXvE?#en-gbThe language translations are all managed within the Form Editor on ...

    Problem with this approach is you are probably skipping the Marketo CDN. This will kill performance the further you get geographically from your instance.It would be much better to have a separate CNAME at your domain that points to the Marketo CDN.

  • Re: Form Views and Conversions for a Lightboxed Form on Webpage

    Good question. If you wanted to track the number of people who opened the lightbox (as a superset of those who opened it and filled out the form) I would use a manual Munchkin `clickLink` action.Or if you only care if they filled it out, then just use a hidden field that gets populated like `usedLig...
