Form Pre-fill clears upon refresh, but still considered known visitor?

Our landing page shows a preference center that automatically pre-fills a form when a customer visits from a link in an email. When accessed directly (without mkt_tok), we display a sign-in form. This is done with Known Visitor HTML settings as discussed on this thread. 

 

When I refresh the page as a known visitor, the pre-fill disappears, but I don't see the sign-in form. This brings me to somewhere in between - a known visitor with no pre-filled preference center form, nor a sign-in form.

 

What can I do to make this more predictable? It would be best to show the pre-filled form if refreshed, but if that is not possible with how Munchkin works, show a sign-in form instead.

 

To replicate this issue, please try the following: 

  1. Click on this link to load pre-filled Marketo Form (preferably in an incognito browser). 
  2. Refresh the page (the values will clear, but sign in form would not load)

Well, Marketo's form prefill does not work without a mkt_tok parameter in the URL which is added when users click tracked links in the Marketo emails. If you have implemented Sandy's form prefill solution on your web-page, did you make sure you have all the fields used on the preference center page correctly added with apt tokens on the DTP page?

 

I think implementing the form prefill for the known people would be a better option in terms of the overall user experience than navigating them to the sign-in page only to come back to the preferences form via the tracked link in the email.

    Hi @darshil_shah1,

     

    Thanks for assistance here! This page is hosted on a Marketo Free-form LP with embed code added in a Custom HTML box. I don't believe we're using Sandy's DTP method.

    You’d need to use it in order to get the effect you want. Otherwise — like Darshil says — you’re limited only to native Pre-Fill.
