How can leads update their email address

Question

How, if at all, do you enable leads to update their email addresses on file in a way that associates the new email address with the existing record? Is done it via a separate portal that feeds to Marketo? Does a staff member manually update Marketo records if/when the person replies to an email asking that their contact info be updated? Do you not worry about it and the person just has to subscribe with their new email address (creating a separate record in Marketo)? Curious as to what others are doing.

As mentioned above, all you need is a second Email type field — Self-Service Email Address — and present that on the form instead of the system Email Address.

The default value of Self-Service can be "N/A" (it needs to have a value so the Data Value Changes can be triggered). Set the default when someone is first created.

Set up a Smart Campaign that triggers on Data Value Changes to the Self-Service field. In the flow, use Change Data Value to set the Email Address = {{lead.Self-Service Email Address}}.

Why would you need a separate system?All you need is a Marketo form with a New Email Address field and a flow step to copy the value.
