Features

The Mautic TYPO3 extension has many features that allow you to integrate your marketing automation workflow in TYPO3.

Dynamic Content Blocks

Ever wanted to serve different content to different users based on their Mautic segments? With this extension you will be able to set aside content in your TYPO3 website for specific Mautic segments. This way, you will be able to decide what content to serve to which people. In good TYPO3 fashion, this can apply not only to content elements but also to entire pages or even data sets, templates, ...

Form Synchronization

With the Mautic extension for TYPO3 you can create your forms in the TYPO3 backend, and have all data collected in Mautic too! You no longer need to maintain two forms, the extension will automatically sync all forms you have marked as 'Mautic forms' with Mautic. You can then easily post form results to Mautic, while your form will always stay up-to-date with your TYPO3 edits.

TYPO3 Form Customization

In case you got own elements or similiar customization within the EXT:form component you should be aware of the possibly necessary adaptions you have to do. A custom element needs a transformation and field property depending of the element content and what you want to do with it. In case of an e.g. LinkedCheckbox element providing an GDPR checkbox along with a linked text you might not want the data to be transferred into mautic. In this case you can do the following:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['mautic']['transformation']['formField']['LinkedCheckbox'] = \Leuchtfeuer\Mautic\Transformation\FormField\IgnoreTransformation::class;

If you actually want to transfer the data into mautic you need to choose a fitting Transformation class along with extending the inheritance of the custom element to use the mautic mixin. This provides the possibility to choose a property for the element in the form module. The side effect of not handling those custom elements could be that the form data is not transferred into mautic correctly. This is only the case on initial setup and first submitting of the form with such a non configured element. Once the form is submitted, those custom elements are getting ignored.

Mautic Form Actions

Create contacts or modify the points of a contact straight from a TYPO3 Form.

Mautic Form Content Element

If you wish to use Mautic forms directly, you can now add them with the Mautic Form content element that comes shipped with this extension.

Tracking Script Integration

Integrate the Mautic tracking script into your frontend with one click of a button!

OAuth 2.0 support

All requests made by this extension are secured using OAuth (with Mautic only supping OAuth2 in recent versions). You can easily configure your API tokens in the extension manager of TYPO3.

Tags

Set tags for users when they are visiting a page!

Assets

Link to Mautic assets directly in TYPO3 using file relations or the TYPO3 link wizard!

Language sync

(currently in flux)

API

The Mautic API https://developer.mautic.org/#rest-api is made available (see "ContactRepository")

Installation

First, install the extensions marketing_automation and mautic in your TYPO3.

Afterwards, establish the API connection:

• Go to "API Credentials" in Mautic and create a new "OAuth2" credential set (give your TYPO3 website's domain as "redirect URI")
• write down public and secret key
• go to the "API Connection" backend module in TYPO3, select "OAuth2", and enter the keys from above
• Now hit "Authorize with Mautic"
• A Mautic login windows comes up. Log in, and click "Accept"

Documentation and a getting started guide can be found here.

Known Issues & Ideas for the Future

TYPO3 Form Builder

• "Mautic Property Type" currently not working: Mautic field mappings are currently not possible through the TYPO3 UI, only for the pre-defined fields in template "Simple Contact Form"

Form Framework: Currently limited support

• Make sure to use Predefined Form from Prototype "Mautic Form"
• Recommended: Use template "Simple Contact Form"
• Mautic-side changes in form are NOT sync'd back to TYPO3
• TYPO3-side changes (fields, field properties, form type, ...) after creation are NOT sync'd to Mautic
• Make sure to use finisher "Create Mautic Contact"
• Use "Send to Mautic form" only if you wish to send to a different form ID
• Idea: Move "updating" of forms (normally by the form's Javascriupt snippets) to TYPO3 so that we can always deliver static HTML (which works even in restricted environments)

Tags

On the very first page visit, setting tags can not work reliably. (We are considering using mpixel in addition to API for that reason...)
