Using a Content Track as Your Marketo Form Confirmation Page

Contents

Summary

Redirecting visitors from a Thank You landing page into a Content Track is a great way to promote your content to interested prospects.

This article covers:

How to redirect form fills to a Content Track
How to set up this redirect if you are using a Universal/Global Form

Scenario:

You have an external landing page with a Marketo form
You want to send visitors who fill out the form to a Content Track, rather than simply to a static Thank You page
You want those PathFactory visitor activities to be tracked and the data to be sent to Marketo

Redirect Form Fills to a Content Track

Create a landing page in Marketo.

Add the script shown below to the landing pages that you want to redirect to a Content Track when the embedded Marketo Form is filled.

<script>
MktoForms2.whenReady(function(f){f.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl) {
var queryString = window.location.search.substr(1);
var email = values.Email;
location.href = followUpUrl + (followUpUrl.indexOf("?") > -1 ? "&" : "?") + "lb_email=" + email + "&" + queryString;
        return false;
    });
});
</script>

Note

This page will appear blank to visitors before they are quickly redirected into a Content Track. This page essentially acts as a bridge, so the visitor’s email address can pass from the submitted form into the PathFactory platform.
This allows PathFactory to immediately identify the visitor, and track their activity.

Ensure that the form Thank You Page configuration is set to follow up with External URL where you will reference the PathFactory track URL of your choosing. Alternatively, you can define this on the landing page level.

Once you close the tab, wait 30 minutes and check the analytics and that your email address is being associated with the visit. If you need assistance with this please reach out to support@pathfactory.com.
