I want to create a checkbox for people to check Yes to my terms consent on a Marketo landing page. Anyone has a way to solve this?

    Hey Leslie! The way we have done this in the past is create a text field called "Accept Terms and Conditions" and included it in the form as a "checkbox" field type making it unfilled but mandatory. Then, we made the field label Rich Text saying "Yes, I accept the Terms and Conditions" and the Ts&Cs were hyperlinked to a .pdf or landing page with the complete Terms and Conditions. Then, in the internal alerts, we made the Terms and Conditions section tokenized with the system date / time of the form fill to show when exactly they accepted the Ts&Cs. Hope that helps!! Good luck.

      Hey Leslie, this sounds like you would be inserting a form (they will have to click to submit), and in the field description you would put the text that you want them to agree to. Is this not what you're looking to do?

      If this is what you want to do, you will need to have a way to get their email address into the form so that it's related back to the correct record that they've consented. It could either be an actual field that they populate, or it could be a hidden field that is populated via a URL parameter or a prefill -- depends on how they will be getting to this page. If you can clarify, I'm sure we can expand on our responses.

      Thanks Dory:) can you explain a bit more on how to use the URL Parameter to pre-populate a form field?

      Hey Leslie, how are people getting to your form? Is it through an email or something that they're clicking and their email address is known? If that isn't the case, this might not be possible, and you'd have to add a visible email address field to your form.
