What is aliId

All confirmation pages are appended with an aliId in the URL string. I can see them in Google Analytics.

Is it possible for me to find the lead in Marketo using aliId?

What exactly is aliId?

I think it's an anti-caching ("cachebuster") variable to create a unique URL.  It has no inherent meaning (or none that we can access).  It isn't the Marketo Lead ID.

    I though the number was the lead id.

    But no, you cannot search by Marketo Lead ID.

    Yeah, it isn't the lead ID b/c it changes on every form post for the same lead.

    It's an auto-incrementing field that may be based on the nth form fillout in your instance or something: for two fillouts in a row I got 19497372 and 19497373.

    In any case I think it's meant to be opaque to us.

      Before I answer your question, what do *want* to happen? Do you want the page to fully refresh (default behavior) or do you want to replace the form with a Thank You message, leaving the page otherwise loaded?
