I have Program X which is already synced to Salesforce. Inside Program X  I have certain assets already created, specifically a landing page that contains a form. Now whenever a user fills out the form and the lead is assigned to Salesforce, I want to be able to identify from within Salesforce and the Lead source should be Program X or whatever I choose to name it. How do I achiece this? Thanks in advance.

Edem, this is correct to add the hidden field, but you need to populate that hidden field somehow. It can be via a URL parameter, javascript, or if that form is only used in one place you could have a value that will automatically populate just for that form.

I'd also advise you to update in Admin how the Lead Source field can be overwritten -- it's likely that you will want to block it from updates via form fillouts because you won't want to overwrite a lead source.

You may also ask your CRM team to create it so it shows in the Marketo and SFDC picklist of lead source.

Yes this is exactly what I am trying to do.

Hey Edem, you can write the lead source in a number of ways, whether it's from a data value change in a smart campaign, a hidden field in a form, or a workflow in SFDC. It really depends on how you want to go about it.
