Send Lead Data from MKTO to SFDC Web-to-Lead Form

Hi Community!

Looking to see if someone has had experience passing/posting data from their Marketo instance to another company's SFDC Web-to-Lead form?

We've recently started working very closely with a partner and are planning to share leads with them. They have shared with us a SFDC Web-to-Lead form and I was curious if there is a way to post to that form using a Webhook (I think the answer is yes, but how to set up this particular webhook I'm not certain about).  Ideally, I would like to include it as a flow step in my trigger campaign whenever someone fills out the form on that particular partner's page.  Or maybe there is a better way of accomplishing this goal?

Thanks.

Hi Valerie,

Cross-posting to Web2Lead is quite easy. The webhook URL is the SFDC endpoint. Request encoding is Form/URL. Then include the fields in the template like

fieldname1={{lead.field1}}&fieldname2={{lead.field2}}

@Sanford Whiteman Is this somehow altered by SFDC picklist fields or fields not selectable in the W2L setup (Lead Status in this case)?

Between this (which successfully posts to SFDC):

<form action="webto.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">

<input type=hidden name="oid" value="XXXXXXXXXXX">

<input type=hidden name="retURL" value="">

<label for="first_name">First Name</label><input  id="first_name" maxlength="40" name="first_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="last_name">Last Name</label><input  id="last_name" maxlength="80" name="last_name" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="email">Email</label><input  id="email" maxlength="80" name="email" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="company">Company</label><input  id="company" maxlength="40" name="company" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="city">City</label><input  id="city" maxlength="40" name="city" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="state">State/Province</label><input  id="state" maxlength="20" name="state" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="title">Title</label><input  id="title" maxlength="40" name="title" size="20" type="text" /><br>

Department:<input  id="00NA0000001ieJh" maxlength="80" name="00NA0000001ieJh" size="20" type="text" /><br>

<label for="lead_source">Lead Source</label><select  id="lead_source" name="lead_source">

<option value="Marketing: Marketo">Marketing: Marketo</option>

</select><br>

<input type="submit" name="submit">

</form>

...and this (which doesn't):

It seems like something is getting lost in translation. I'm guessing that I'm missing something obvious here.
