The bottlenecks of Pardot’s built-in forms
Before Formulayt, Primer relied on Pardot’s built-in forms. While functional, they were slow to deploy, hard to customise, and required operational or developer support. This meant:
- New forms could take weeks to create and launch.
- Marketers were dependent on technical teams for form setup.
- Limited customisation restricted data capture and optimisation.
As Paul Staite, Head of Demand Generation at Primer explained:
We had to work through an operations team and someone more technically inclined to create the right steps in Salesforce and Pardot. With Formulayt, a marketing person with no technical background can create a form in minutes.
Generation at Primer
Supercharging Pardot forms with Formulayt
Primer integrated Formulayt into its marketing tech stack alongside Pardot (also known as Salesforce Account Engagement). This enabled:
- Self-serve form creation by marketers without technical support.
- Customisable form logic to capture richer data points, such as browser information and referral sources.
- Rapid deployment of new forms and business-specific logic, often while stakeholders were still in meetings.
- GDPR compliance built into the form setup, with clear opt-in and terms visibility for legal teams.
The results
1. Time savings and efficiency
Forms that once took weeks now take minutes to create and launch. The accessibility of Formulayt means marketers can launch forms instantly, without relying on developer or ops team inputs.
2. Improved conversion rates
Through A/B testing and analytics, Primer optimised multi-step forms without guesswork. With Formulayt, Primer’s marketing team can easily see if changes to their contact forms have improved or reduced completions, taking subjectivity out of decision-making.
3. Better user experience
Progressive profiling and browser-based logic reduce friction for users. For example, Formulayt will pre-fill simple fields such as phone number country codes - and the less people have to type, the higher the completion rate.
Why Formulayt?
Paul has implemented Formulayt at both large enterprises and fast-growth startups. He explains:
“Every company I’ve joined, one of the first things I implement is Formulayt. Whether you’re a 20,000-person enterprise with thousands of forms across different markets, or a fast-growth startup with a handful, it saves time, reduces bottlenecks, and improves user experience.”
