Re: Capturing eVars in Marketo Forms
Sanford Whiteman Jan 25, 2019 12:01 PM (in response to Helen Abramova)Are you referring to reading previously set eVars from the Adobe session? This is problematic for the clear reason that they aren't meant to be re-read from the server (as they are considered important on the server side).

To be honest, I am still figuring it out. We have eVar-tagged links, a user clicks through and lands on a landing page, fills out a form - I hope to be able to capture them by the hidden fields. The links look as follows:
www.mydomain.com/?aaa:bbb:ccc:ddd
aaa, bbb, etc. are the values for the eVar parameters [they are supposed to work very similar to UTM parameters], the same order all the time, and always separated by semi-column. I think we should be able to capture those.

Re: Capturing eVars in Marketo Forms
Sanford Whiteman Jan 26, 2019 10:49 AM (in response to Helen Abramova)1 of 1 people found this helpfulIf it's just parsing the current query string (from the page the form is on) then it doesn't matter that they're "eVars" per se. They're just a query parameter that needs to be split up before adding to the form.
Create a String field allEVars to store the whole thing for posterity. Add that field to the form in Form Editor, as Hidden + Auto-Fill from the query param.
Then
MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){ var currentValues = form.getValues(), eVarHeaders = "evar_medium:evar_source:evar_campaign:evar_other:evar_etc".split(":"), eVarSingleFields = currentValues.allEVars .split(":") .reduce(function(acc,next,idx){ acc[eVarHeaders[idx]] = next; return acc; },{}); form.addHiddenFields(eVarSingleFields); });
This will populate individual hidden fields from the fields in the eVarHeaders semicolon-delimited string, in that order. (You'll create all those fields in Marketo as well, but they don't need to formally appear on the form in Form Editor).
