Overview

The Eloqua integration allows you to seamlessly sync prospects captured from capture forms, along with event metadata to Eloqua Campaigns.

Info
Captello can also send prospects to Eloqua using webhooks to submit Eloqua forms. The table below shows the difference between the Eloqua Integration and Webhooks.

- all Event Metadata (Start Date, Owner, Event Name, etc.),
- all Submission Metadata (Captured By, Capture Date, Capture Method, etc.), and
- 20 custom fields (named CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, etc.).

Every field on your event form can be mapped to your Eloqua Custom Object, provided the Custom Object field is selected in the Captello event builder.

Standard submission data (Name, Email, Phone, Address, etc.) can be mapped from Event Forms to Captello Prospect fields then from within the event builder. Then, the Captello Prospect Fields will sync to Eloqua Contact Fields based on your field mappings belowconfigured in the Cloud Feeder Configuration.

Info
Since Lead Liaison Captello sends Lead Liaison Prospect data to Eloqua Contacts make sure you map all Event Custom Fields your event form fields to Prospect Fields when building your Event.
