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: 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...

  • Re: Is it possible to use tokens in a URL?

    @Leah G Do you use Salesforce? If so you can create a formula field that saves the URL-encoded form of the Contact's full name.You also can probably do this using Email Scripting. The Velocity language has $esc.url( string ).

  • Re: Text email delivery stats

    @Brent E Reading the text version isn't about server setttings (unless you mean AD group policies which force apps on workstations to favor the text version). It's much more about client settings, like @Josh says about what kind of mail app they use. And also what settings are enforced within the ...

    What exactly is the policy being enforced?Both Munchkin and Forms 2.0 scripts load from a third-party domain, as you know (they do not use third-party cookies). You might try to re-host the JavaScript itself on your domain (though that's painful to maintain). But even if that worked to load the form...

  • solved badge Re: Embedded Forms 2.0 Duplicating in Drupal

    OK, found it after some hunting.Your jQuery "mmenu" plug-in duplicates the Marketo form... if it runs after the Marketo Forms 2.0 has been rendered.Solution: Render the Marketo form after the mmenu is finished. Put the Marketo code at the end of this block:$(document).ready(function() {var $mmenu_r...

    Don't really need triggers to set a value. If this is a Forms 2.0 question (as tagged) then you can create a form with a hidden checkbox set to checked by default. Then you label the submit button "Send me fewer emails" as above. When someone submits the form, the value on the lead is updated, by de...
