The SUBMIT Button

The SUBMIT button on a form looks quite innocent. However, you need to know a bit of PHP programming (although you probably could use another web language such as Perl) there is often a lot "going on" behind the scenes when you press or click it.

Generally, the SUBMIT button involks a form handler or some description. This "handler" is responsible for what happens. This, again, generally, is what happens to the data that has been entered into a form. This data can be used in many ways, it could be the response to a survey or it could be contact or booking form. A response to the pressing of the SUBMIT button is usually expected and the actions that follow can include the sendng of an email and/or the entry of the data into a database.

Form Handlers

This is a complex issue. Or it can be. The construction of a functioning form is not as easy as many would make out (or they think that it is!).

Pardot Form Handlers

marketing-logic.com say:

Pardot form handlers allow you to integrate existing forms on your website/other platforms with Pardot (Account Engagement). Form handlers in Pardot generate a snippet of code in the backend that you then paste into the external form’s code. The form handler acts like a bucket that will collect successful prospect form submissions.

In some ways, Pardot form handlers work in a similar way to Salesforce web-to-lead forms – choose the fields, generate the code snippet, and copy/paste that where your form “lives”.
