Important: Opportunity settings are used as part of your CRM integration. Typically organizations work with Oracle or with Oracle partners to ensure a successful CRM integration. Find out more about Oracle's implementation services.

From the Campaigns area in the application, you can upload opportunities, manage general settings for opportunities, and search for specific opportunities.

    Oracle Eloqua will associate opportunities to campaigns based on the contacts that have responded to a campaign. You can also select which contacts are to be included in this association from the following options (choose one):

    • The primary Contact associated to the Opportunity in CRM: The opportunity is associated in Oracle Eloqua with a single contact designated as the primary contact for that opportunity in the CRM.
    • All Contacts associated to the Opportunity in CRM: The opportunity is associated in Oracle Eloqua with all contacts associated with the opportunity in the CRM.
    • All Contacts in Eloqua associated to the Account that is associated to the Opportunity in CRM: The opportunity is associated to all contacts that are, in turn, associated to an account that is associated to the opportunity in the CRM. Note that for this option to work, the accounts must be imported into Oracle Eloqua as companies with the CRM account ID and the contacts must be properly linked to the companies within Eloqua. (Note: Salesforce account ID is case sensitive.)
