Marketo forms affiliate tracking with Refficks
Marketo forms on your site, tied to the partner whose link brought the person, so their later payment is credited to that partner.
Nobody has walked these steps against a real Marketo forms setup yet. They are built from the provider's documentation, listed at the bottom of this page.
What it gives you
- Somebody who arrives through a partner's link and then sends the form is tied to that partner. When they later pay, through any payment connection Refficks receives, the sale is credited to the partner who sent them.
- The email never appears in an address: Marketo tells your page directly.
What it does not
- A form on its own pays nobody: it is recorded as a lead, never as a new account, so it does not qualify a referral reward that waits for an account. A partner is paid when that person pays, and the payment has to reach Refficks from a connection that names the same email.
- A visitor who has not accepted cookies, or whose browser sends Global Privacy Control, is not named.
- Only forms embedded on your own pages, using Marketo's standard Email field. A Marketo landing page runs where the Refficks script is not.
Steps
1. Put the Refficks script on every page
Paste the snippet into the head of every page of your site, including the pages with Marketo forms.
2. Name the person when they send the form
Paste the code below on each page with a Marketo form, after the Refficks script. When the form is sent, it passes the Email field to Refficks before Marketo moves on to your follow-up page.
<script> (function wait(tries) { if (!window.MktoForms2) return tries < 40 && setTimeout(function () { wait(tries + 1); }, 250); window.MktoForms2.whenReady(function (form) { form.onSuccess(function (values) { if (values && typeof values.Email === "string" && values.Email && window.refficks) window.refficks.lead({ email: values.Email }); }); }); })(0); </script>3. Send a test submission
Open your site through any partner's link, copied from their page under Partners, and send the form. The checks on this guide in Refficks turn green as each part is seen.
