Uploading HTML emails or templates

You can upload an HTML file or a ZIP file that contains your HTML as well as any associated content (images). If you have created an email outside of Oracle Eloqua using HTML, you can upload the file to Oracle Eloqua then edit the content in the Source Editor.

Before you begin:

  • Make sure your code adheres to the code requirements for HTML email uploads.
  • Do not use JavaScript. It is not supported on most email clients and Oracle Eloqua will prevent uploading HTML emails that contain <script> tags.
  • You can upload an HTML file or a ZIP file. If you upload a ZIP, Oracle Eloqua will extract the files during the upload process.
  • The maximum file size you can upload is 5 MB.

  • Files uploaded will be scanned for malware before the upload process will complete. Any files with malware detected will not be uploaded.

    For each image, you can choose an action. We will update references to the images during the upload so that they refer to the images in the image library.

    • Use Suggested Image: If an image is available in Eloqua with the same name as the image referenced in the HTML code, we will suggest using that existing file.
    • Upload New Image: If want to you want to upload a new image to replace one referenced in the HTML code, choose this option. Then upload the new file.
    • Do Nothing: Choose this option if you do not wish to change the image shown in the thumbnail. We will upload this image to Eloqua during the upload process.
