Creating new landing pages and templates using the HTML upload wizard

With Eloqua, you are able to upload HTML landing pages that were created outside of the application, after uploading the content you can edit the code using the Source Editor. The content can be uploaded as a new landing page that can be used directly, or as a template that can be reused within the application to create new landing pages.

Important: When creating an HTML landing page outside of Eloqua, you should make sure that your code adheres to the code requirements.

Before you begin:

  • Make sure your code adheres to the code requirements.
  • 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 10 MB.
  • Files uploaded will be scanned for malware before the upload process will complete. Any files with malware detected will not be uploaded.

To create a landing page or template using the HTML upload wizard:

  1. Navigate to Assets An image of the Assets icon, which is represented by a black pencil., then click Landing Pages.

  2. Click Upload a Landing Page.

    Note: Files uploaded will be scanned for malware. If malware is detected, you will be presented with an error that the upload of the file failed due to a corrupt file. You will have to upload a new file to continue.

  5. In the Process Files step of the upload wizard, review the list of images and other files and choose to either use the existing files or upload new ones.

    Choose one of the options listed beside each image:

    • Use Suggested Image: Choose this option if the image is already in the image library. If an image is available that matches the title of the image file in the HTML code, the application will automatically suggest that file as the correct mapping.
    • Upload New Image: Choose this option if the image is not in the library. Click the Upload New button, then navigate to the designated file (often in a subfolder of the HTML file), double-click on the file name, then click Upload to upload the image to Eloqua. Once uploaded, a thumbnail of the image is shown.
    • Do Nothing: Choose this option if you do not wish to change the image shown in the thumbnail, select for that image.

    Click Next Step, when you are finished.

  6. In the Process Links step, all hyperlinks in the uploaded landing page are listed. If you want to track these hyperlinks and ensure that clickthroughs are reported in Eloqua, select the Track Link check box next to each hyperlink. If you wish to track visits to all links in the landing page, click the Track All button in the upper-left hand corner. Repeat as required, then click Next Step.
