Has anyone embedded a Form 2.0 on an Epi Server page?

The publishing wysiwyg has a body section where we tried inserting the embed code into the html editor, but it didn't work. I have previously handed off the embed code to a web developer who magically embedded the Marketo form for me for other engagements. Currently, we have a web publishing team member who attempted to embed this form, but as I've indicated, it unforch was a dead end.

Please let me know if you have experience with embedding forms in Epi Server. Would like to know if this requires dev skills - hoping it does not. Thanks!

HI Jessie,

You should move your question to Products . Marketing Central is for generic marketing questions. Read here to learn more.

A Marketo form 2.0 is just, from the CMS point of view, simply a javascript. So it should be possible to integrate it as such in EPI server.

Also, EPI server has a Marketo connector that enables to integrate EPI server forms with Marketo. This can be an alterative, provided that it has been developed correctly and securely. I have never tested it, though.

It hasn't been developed correctly and shouldn't be used in a professional environment. I've evaluated it and they have no business pretending they know Marketo.

We have an integration with Epi Server forms to Marketo, but there is no progressive profiling. Also, pre-fill is not enabled. I get that it's javascript, so it should embed on a page easily, but for some reason, it's not working. Hm...

Hi Jessie,

Are you sure it is an embedded form? Progressive profile should work if it is.

Can you send us the URL of such a page, so that we can check?

I think Jessie means the Epi-supplied Epi form front end / Marketo back end integration. It's a good thing it doesn't support prefill or it would be even worse. Of course embedded Mkto forms don't do prefill, either.

The goal is to embed the form. Currently we are using the integration that Sanford is referring to.

Sanford - embedded marketo forms will enable prefill with some custom code, but you're right, it's not a native capability.

Yes, but AFAIK nobody knows how to do this safely except for yours truly. So I doubt anyone who's telling you about this has done a professional review of their solution.

What do you mean by "safely"?

I mean without allowing a barely skilled 12-year-old with a 14.4K modem (or, to update that a bit, "with a StarTac on 2G") to disable your forms functionality in under half an hour, whenever they want.
