Add Connection

Add SFTP Connection

To add a new SFTP connection, click the + Add SFTP button. Give your import a name.

Next, provide your SFTP credentials (username and password), SFTP server url/endpoint, port (default is 22), file path, file name, and delimiter type (comma, pipe or tab). Please note, you can use an explicit filename (e.g., myfile.csv) or a wildcard (e.g., contacts*) for a .CSV file type. Click the Test Connection button to confirm access.

Optionally, the SFTP Importer app lets you import PGP encrypted files. To decrypt an encrypted file, enable Use PGP. When enabled, you will need to paste your PGP Private Key and, if created, your PGP Passphrase.

Click Continue.

Field Mapping

Next, to import data from the file, you'll need to map your file field headers to your desired Eloqua fields. To get started, specify a file on your SFTP location and click on the Get Fields button to get the header fields of your file. Then, specify the Eloqua object (Contact, Account, or Custom Object) you would like to import data into. Please note that you cannot change this setting once you have specified the Eloqua object and save your connection settings.

Next, map the desired fields from the SFTP file to the appropriate Eloqua field. At a minimum, you must map the unique identifier (the green row). Click the Add button to add additional mappings.

Please note, you can map the same source (CSV) field to one or more Eloqua fields but once an Eloqua field has been mapped it will no longer be available for additional mapping. To remove a mapping, click on the .

Optionally, for Custom Object imports you can enable mapping of a Custom Object record to either an Eloqua Contact or Account. When enabled, you will need to specify the Object field that should be used for mapping, the Eloqua entity (Contact or Account), and the respective entity field. Toggle Case Sensitive if desired.

Data Priority

Optionally, specify the Eloqua Data Priority to use with your Eloqua Bulk Import.
