Hi Guys,

Does anyone has the same scenario as me？

there is a email has a hyperlink to my sign-up page which have a form on it.

if i am a receiver for this email, it's mean to i am a lead for database, then my information like firstname, lastname,emailaddress would be prefill to that form.

i use JQuery to get the value from URL:

Example:
http://info.marketo.com/test.html?FirstName={{lead.First Name:default=edit me}}&LastName={{lead.Last Name:default=edit me}}&Company={{company.Company Name:default=edit me}}&Email={{lead.Email Address:default=edit me}}

But i happend to a problem, if customer's first name like "Ben Rose", the copy of text version email will only make the link before Rose to linked, i lose the rest one, how can i figure it out?

I have no any idea at all.


Thanks,
Rose

Hi Rose,

We use pURLs (personalized URLs) for this in Marketo.
This enables to pre-fill forms even though the lead doesn't have a cookie yet.
e.g. great when you import a list with suspects.

1. Go to your landing page and enable the pURL.
2. In your email update the URL and add the token for a lead's Marketo Unique Code behind the URL.
    This will render each email differently.

3. Go to your form in design studio and pre-populate the form with tokens (e.g. {{lead.First Name}}).

Please let me know if you have any questions.

If you click on a field on the left, a dialog opens on the right.

I am using the new Form Editor that is under Marketing Activities in Marketo (it seem to be more user friendly). However, when I create a form, and I set the default value to be  {{lead.First Name}}, I see exactly that:



The form is on our own website. It has the Marketo tracking code, but probably is not considered a Marketo landing page.

Any insight is appreciated.

Hi Patrick, I noticed with Forms2.0 it doesn't pre-populate when the form is used on a non-marketo landing page (e.g. with the embed code). The only way would be an iFrame if you want it to be pre-populated.

Thanks! I got that to work. However, now I am facing another issue: upon submission of the form, how do I escape the iFrame? We have a Thank you page but that now shows up iFramed :-) Is that possible?
