Single quotes and double quotes have different meaning in VTL, unlike in other languages. (Single quotes do not dereference variables, they’re taken literally.) Rather than switching between single and double quotes based on content, standardizing on double quotes and escaping reserved characters in...

Your developer is mistaken and it sounds like they lack Velocity experience. The correct practice is to escape the # character as it has special meaning in VTL.Certainly not "best practice" to use reserved tokens without escaping – neither in VTL nor any other language!

Can you please highlight your code using the syntax highlighter ("Insert/edit Code Sample") so it's readable? Then we'll continue.

My only explanation would be that the click tracking server wasn’t reliably logging hits for some brief period, while still redirecting people correctly. Pretty weird!

The community’s own @Jo_Pitts1 is a great LP developer as well. (Questions like this are complicated, though. Self-promotion isn’t allowed on Marketo Nation, but even without that it’s a small world where a lot of us have conflicts of interest. The recommendations are still very good, of course!)

Thanks Balkar & Babu!

Nope, no need for that approach now that reCAPTCHA is built into Marketo. Honeypots don’t do anything against spammers with any skill, so we never use ‘em. There are always some false negatives with reCAPTCHA because some people interact with forms in a less “human” way even though they’re human.

If I understand you correctly, the explanation from support cannot be correct. That’s right! It’s not possible for 2 people to have the same link, tracked in both cases, but one of the people skips the Click Link yet still gets to the page. If a link is tracked, and there’s no untracked version of i...

Because you've mentioned that "more complex than that", it would be very helpful if you could help me with any Marketo documentation or any other link from where I can deepen about how Random Sample works in Flow.Nothing more official than my responses on some other threads. What I was alluding to w...

I'm not sure I've correctly labeled this as a form pre-fill. It's more about (to use Marketo terminology) Auto-Fill. That’s our term for populating hidden fields based on the context in which a form appears. For example, if the URL has certain query params we drop them directly into hidden fields. Y...
