Integration Steps

1) Update your Allowed Referrers

As part of setting up Clearbit for Marketo Forms, we need to be secure about how Clearbit Enrichment is happening. To this end, you'll need to update your Allowed Referrers in your clearbit.com dashboard.

  • Click here to view your API settings.
  • Scroll down to the Allowed Referrers section.
  • Add the domain your form is going to appear on. For example, if your form was going to display on a landing page at https://example.com/my-landing-page you would add example.com.
  • To make sure the form works on all subdomains, you can also add the domain in the format *.example.com
  • Do NOT add or edit the value in the Webhook URL field. This configuration is not related to this integration.
  • Click Update Account and you're done with this part.
 

2) Create the Clearbit Form Status Field

To allow you to access whether Clearbit has returned, or has not returned data about a Person in your Marketo form, we'll need you to add a Clearbit Form Status field to your instance. This helps power Clearbit's dynamic enrichment.

The API Name of the Field must be clearbitFormStatus

  1. Go to the Admin section
  2. Expand the Database Management group
  3. Click through to Field Management
  4. Click New Custom Field
  5. Fill the form with the following properties:

3) Create your Clearbit Form

Once you've got the required Clearbit Form Status field setup, the next step is to go ahead and create the form.

  • Go to the Design Studio
  • Click New
  • Select New Form
  • Fill with the following properties:

4) Add Email Address to Form

The only required visible field is Email Address, so make sure to add the following:

  • Add new field with the following values:

5) Create the Clearbit Form Status Field

There are a couple of fields that we need to add to the form in order for it to work properly with Clearbit data. These fields should be hidden so your users don't see them.

  • Add a new field with the following values:

6) Add Dynamic Fields

The last part of editing your form involves adding as many of the mapped data points show below as you'd like. In order to make them dynamic, you'll want to enable Visibility Rules and fill them out with the values below. Some data points like Company Tech might not make a lot of sense to add to this form, but feel free to use your best judgement.

 

  • Add a new field with the following values:

 

For example on Last Name:

7) Add JS to Page

The last thing you need to do is save your form, and add both your forms JS and the following Clearbit Forms JS snippet to the page where the form will be hosted.

  • Click Finish, Click Approve and Close
  • Click Form Actions
  • Click Embed Code
  • Copy and paste the Marketo embed code across to your page
  • Copy and paste this Clearbit JS code right under the Marketo embed code:

Note: Make sure you replace the <YOUR-API-KEY-HERE> placeholder with your actual publishable API key, which can be found here. Keep the quote marks around the API key.

<script type="text/javascript">var pollForDefinition=function(scope,varname,callback){if(typeof scope[varname]!=="undefined"){return callback();} var interval=setInterval(function(){if(typeof scope[varname]!=="undefined"){clearInterval(interval);callback();}},250);};var script=document.createElement("script");script.src="https://marketo.clearbit.com/assets/v1/marketo/forms.js";script.async=true;script.setAttribute("data-clearbit-publishable-key","<YOUR-API-KEY-HERE>");script.onerror=function(e){console.log("Clearbit Form JS unable to load");pollForDefinition(window,"MktoForms2",function(){MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){form.setValues({clearbitFormStatus:"Clearbit Form JS unable to load"});});});};document.body.append(script);</script>
