Form module integration

A very basic integration could be achieved through a form processor within Magnolia's form module. After the submission of a form, the submission executes a chain of functions. They are called form-processors. In these functions, you could send a POST method to the corresponding pardot form handler.

Connect with the Marketing Automation Connector Pack

Beside the form module solution, which does not offer you to use Pardot Forms within Magnolia, you could also use an extension for Salesforce Pardot that builds upon the Magnolia Marketing Automation Connector Pack. This Connector Pack can be obtained directly from Magnolia alongside the DX Core edition.

Please notice that there is no pardot API which gives you the fields of a form in the specified order or with the specified available field values in case of a select box. You have to rely on the form handler API or you could get the HTML code from the form API and extract the fields from there.

For further help, please contact the folks from Arvato Systems. They have a lot of experience and help you, for sure.

Embed sign up form from salesforce pardot

If you only prefer to show a sign-up form, you could also create a form inside salesforce pardot and use an usual HTML or iframe component within the magnolia page. If you don't have an HTML component available, please ask your implementation administrator. They probably removed permissions.

BTW: This approach offers you advanced form features, such as progressive profiling. But it might not be the go-to approach if you want to combine all different form solutions under one integration method. If you want to know more about this approach, please check out this article.
