intelligent form?

Went to Marketo to download one of the guides and I saw that when I went to download a second guide, it recognized that I had already filled out a form previously. How do we implement that on our site so that we aren't forcing people to fill out a form over and over?

It needs javascript to read the cookie and switch to the button. Especially if the landing page is on your CMS - not using the marketo landing page. There are a couple of articles on the community to do that.

For all of your landing pages, you can enable by doing the following:

1. Click Admin at the top right hand corner of your screen
2. Click Landing Pages
3. Edit your settings and enable Form Prefill

You can also enable Form Prefill on a landing page by landing page basis:

1. Edit your landing page
2. Click Landing Page Actions on the top right hand corner
3. Click Edit Form Settings
4. Select Form Prefill

Hope that helps!

    Is it then a combination of pre-fill with progressive profiling turned on? With just pre-fill, it would still show the fields, just filled out. In this case, it does not show the fields if I've filled out another form on the site. Also, perhaps there is a some script as well, since the button text changes based on whether the form needs to be completed or if I've already filled out the form?

    Oh yes, that's special javascript. Thanks for your clarification!

    Thanks guys for the quick response. So am I correct, that it's using progressive profiling to hide the fields, or is that javascript too?

    You cannot use progressive profiling if you use the javascript approach.

    Okay, so if the form is pre-filled, then the script would hide all the fields and replace the button?

    Do you happen to have the script I would use?

    The script will be specific to your CMS/website framework. We have developed one for wordpress for a customer. We can develop one for you specifically.

    Great. We actually just iframe in Marketo landing pages for our contact-us page and then for new pages, we're just using standalone marketo landing pages. so, we'd need some javascript that works on marketo landing pages.
