Are there constraints that pre-population does not work when forms are used in external sites with embed code? Thanks for any help you can provide!

There is that constraint -- but there are options.

One is to use a server-side API call to prepop the data.

Another is a special trick I am literally working on as we speak and will publsh in a couple of days (doesn't require API).

Hi,

I'm actually presenting this at the NY MUG in August.  I probably won't publish anything before then but you can look for the meeting notes/video.

Did you ever present this? Did you publish it?

We created guided landing pages in Marketo and put them in an iFrame on our external website. It didn't impacted the look and feel and we're able to leverage all the Forms 2.0 functionalities. Here's an article about implementing Marketo forms on the websites: Revenue Pulse | Marketo Consulting – Implementing Marketo Forms On Your Website – What’s Best For You?

Thanks,

Please don't link to that post until it is fixed.  I love those guys but their "comparison matrix" among the different forms approaches is wrong, as you can see in later discussions on the Community.

Hi Sanford,

Great slides! Would have liked to see you present. To clarify, was the script in your NYC MUG slides the latest sample version ?
