Displays the operation to perform. The currently supported operation is import. This means that the Oracle Eloqua invoke imports data into the connected Oracle Eloqua Cloud application.

Select the Business Object

Select the business object for the Oracle Eloqua invoke to import into the Oracle Eloqua Cloud application. This enables you to synchronize the business object data from a source system (such as Oracle RightNow Cloud or Oracle Sales Cloud) to the targeted Oracle Eloqua Cloud application.

Your Selected Fields

Uniquely Match on Field

Select the field that the Oracle Eloqua Cloud application uses to match your data to the existing data in the Oracle Eloqua application. Select a field that is likely to be unique to avoid updating the wrong record.

Do not use a large text field because this can potentially produce errors.

Auto-Sync Time Interval

Select the time interval between data synchronizations. The Oracle Eloqua Cloud connection uses this interval to synchronize data with the Oracle Eloqua Cloud application.

Link to Contacts/Accounts

Select to link custom objects with contacts and accounts objects. This field is displayed if you selected a custom object.

When importing data to a custom data object in Eloqua, the records being imported can be linked to a contact or account using a field on the custom object record and associated field on the contact or account.  There can be many custom object records linked to a single contact or account.  For example, a contact in RightNow may have several incidents in its history.  These incidents can be imported to an Eloqua custom data object and linked to the associated contact through the email address on the incident and contact records.

If you select this option, the three fields described below are displayed.

CDO fields used for linking

Select the custom data object (CDO) field to use for linking.

Entity to map CDO records to
