Autocomplete - Company Name and Address

Hi, Does anyone know how to configure forms so that when someone fills out the first few letters of their company name it pulls up a list of company names that match and then forces you to select the right company to verify? It seems like it's pulling from a directory from google whenever I see it. Thanks!

Hi Catie,

What you're seeing is actually a third-party service: ReachForce's SmartForms. Obviously, this integrates into Marketo, but needs to be purchased separately.

Certainly no reason to use something as extensive (and expensive) as ReachForce to do this.  If you want autocomplete on company name use the Google Places API as in my MktoForms2 :: Google Places Autocomplete. It's free.

Sanford, would you mind if I took this Fiddle and built out something a little more robust on Github in terms of filling in physical address data/Google+ page/website/etc.? Credit where credit is due of course.

Sure, go ahead!

It's also going to go into the Forms 2.0 Cookbook I'm working on -- but those recipes will be proof-of-concept stuff like in most of my posts rather than includeable libraries.  I'll post back here so maybe you can link to the Cookbook when it's up.

Hi,

Do you have any update on this form setup pulling into Google API? I'd love to implement this into my form.

What kind of updates are you looking for? That old CodePen still works.

Also, if you search the Community for "autocomplete" and my name you'll come across some other examples, like this one: MktoForms2 :: GP Autocomplete w/Visibility Rules
