Send email over URL using Marketo forms

Question

Hi,
 
I tried to use Marketo tokens in the follow-up URL but it seems it only allows my.tokens. And since we can't use tokens inside tokens.
 
Is there a way I can send the email of a person in the follow-up URL, like https://www.google.com/?email=aaa@bbb.com
 
Thanks!

Just use the email script token for this. Make sure you output the fully formed hyperlink (<a> through </a>) from the email script token instead of outputting the URL (https://www.google.com/?email=aaa@bbb.com) alone.

<a href="https://www.google.com?email=${esc.url($lead.Email)}">ABC</a>

Also, just putting it out here that I'm not a fan of putting PII in the URL. Is there any alternate way you could avoid this?

Edit- This solution applies for including Email Address in the URL within an email asset.

I assume you don’t mean “send” (as in sending a separate email) but actually “append to the query string”, correct?

This is simple:

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(readyForm){
  readyForm.onSuccess(function(submittedValues, originalThankYouHref){
    const thankYouURL = new URL(originalThankYouHref);
    thankYouURL.searchParams.set("email", submittedValues.Email);
    document.location.href = thankYouURL.href;
    return false;
  });
});

I share Darshil’s misgivings about include PII in the URL but if your destination page requires it there’s no avoiding it.
