Collecting Facebook Lead Ads data

Using Oracle Eloqua's Facebook Lead Ads app, you can capture data from a Facebook lead ad and push it to Oracle Eloqua. The app provides an audience feeder on the campaign canvas and program canvas that maps Facebook form fields to Oracle Eloqua contact fields. The app updates the contact or creates the contact if it does not yet exist.
