App Overview
The Event Campaign Builder for Salesforce.com app allows users to auto-generate and activate an Eloqua campaign based on a user-selected Event Type and Salesforce.com record settings so that they do not need to manually create campaigns.
If you manage events within your Salesforce.com system, this is a great app. You can map:
- Salesforce.com event types to Eloqua campaign templates
- Set up default and optional notifications
- Preview event details
If you use the Event Campaign Builder for Salesforce.com in conjunction with the Cloud Decision for Salesforce.com and Cloud Content for Salesforce.com, the app will automatically update your Decision and Content settings.
The app supports both Salesforce.com production and sandbox instances.
