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.

  • solved badge Re: Webhooks and SMS Sending Question

    This is a poor choice of architecture. It has a built-in race condition and isn’t reliable for professional use. It also cuts your sending capacity in half even when it works! If an OAuth token is required, you should send your webhook requests to an intermediate API Gateway service that manages (i....

  • solved badge Re: Sending a single alert after a flow step

    You’d have to turn off the built-in qualification rule and let people run through every time. Then build an equivalent limitation using, for example, Program Statuses (if the person is already status Sent for a given Program, then Remove from Flow). You don’t change the status for your internal seed...

  • solved badge Re: Issue with .ics Calendar File in New Outlook – Anyone Else?

    Doing some of my own tests, think I see the problem(s):“New Outlook” requires a proprietary iCalendar property X-MICROSOFT-LOCATIONSOURCE a proprietary property order not previously required. I should be able to add those to Agical within the next week. Even when you switch to New Outlook, Classic O...

    Please provide a link with the tokens actually interpolated — that link will never work because it has the {{token}} placeholders still in it.

  • solved badge Re: How do the global validation rules define a personal email?

    @Sant_Singh_Rath and @Ruchi_Lapran1 both your responses are incorrect or incomplete. While it’s true that the rule domain.example will not block 123domain.example, it will block us.domain.example. The rules cover an entire private domain suffix. So if you enter example.com, domains are checked to se...

  • A crazy way broken custom JS can cause “Submission failed,” with “chec...

    As you read on, you might think I’ve contrived a situation with an infinitesimal chance of happening in real life, just for the love of blogging. But this just happened to a user who posted on the Nation! So here’s the weirdest Marketo Forms factoid you may ever learn: if the 20th field added to a f...

  • Re: Native multi step form within Marketo

    Indeed, I call it the Fieldset-at-a-Time (FsaaT) method and there’s a blog post and some demos out there. The JS can be even tighter now than a few years ago due to browser built-ins, it’s really quite easy. If you don’t care about giving somebody a Back button, just use multiple forms. The user doe...

  • solved badge Re: Submission failed, please try again on a form for some users

    Because I want you to get your forms back in working order sooner than later, let me cut to the direct cause. The 3rd-party Digital Pi tracking JS has a configuration area where you set up mappings between UTM params and form fields. You currently have empty strings for three of these:{ utm_med...

  • solved badge Re: Submission failed, please try again on a form for some users

    Figured it out after more work. It's actually quite easy to trigger (details to follow) and is due to a glaring bug in some 3rd-party JS. Not a race condition or accidental CORS thing. I'll put the explanation up on the blog and link to it here.
