Forms on external pages

The only easy and consistent method I've seen for dealing with this is to keep a list somewhere of the places that you use your forms on external pages. Sometimes (if it's only one page) this fits nicely into the "description" area of the form (below the name). For a longer list, you might instead include a link there to a file which runs a list of each page this form is embedded into. It's not a sexy solution, but when stuff like this comes up I'm usually left wishing someone had set something like this up along the way.

Hey there,

If you have access to at least view the external page, you should be able to 'right click' and 'inspect' the form itself. Marketo distinguishes forms by Form ID, which is just a 3-digital number tied to the field 'mktoForm'. For example, 'mktoForm_411.' Here's an example:

Once you figure out which form IDs are being used, your Marketo admin should be able to look at the forms in Marketo and check for Form ID. It can be found in the actual embed code itself.

Hope that helps!

There isn’t a way to know which forms are merely being shown on which external pages.

But it’s possible to know which forms are being used as in “filled out at least once.” Use the API to extract the Activity Log for Filled Out Form activities and parse the activity details (you must use the API for this, there’s no equivalent in the Marketo UI).

OOTB - Marketo only shows the Marketo LPs that have the forms added to them via the form element (not via the embed code). If you know the webpages that have Marketo forms on it - you can find the form-id from the webpage's source code/inspect element and use the form-id to find the form-name/link in Marketo.
