Eloqua Salesforce Integration App - Salesforce External Client App
Introducing support for the Salesforce External Client App connection type for the Eloqua Salesforce Integration App which provides a more streamlined, secure, and admin-friendly approach to managing the Eloqua–Salesforce integration.
This capability is intended to modernize how the integration is authenticated and administered in Salesforce, and it replaces the legacy Salesforce Connected Apps approach over time.
Salesforce currently supports both connection types, and this update is designed to be non-disruptive: existing Eloqua Salesforce connections continue to operate without interruption. The new approach fits into the platform’s broader integration administration model by simplifying connection management while maintaining continuity for existing integration assets and workflows.
