Adding imports to a canvas
Using Oracle Eloqua's Salesforce feeder service, you can specify an Salesforce Integration app import and schedule the import's post processing actions. When the feeder runs, the post processing actions update the associated import.
You can use this service on the program canvas. The following example shows a program canvas where the Wait element is configured to run the Salesforce feeder step at specific intervals. You can also use the Salesforce feeder element with other audience steps on the program canvas to update or create contact records within a program.

Tip: If you are using Firefox and the configuration screen does not load properly, clear the browser cache.
- From the Imports list, select the import you want to associate with the Salesforce feeder. This creates a link between the canvas and the import.

When imports flow through the Salesforce feeder element, its post processing actions are run at the intervals scheduled by the wait element.
