Step 2: Configure Activity Generation Settings
To generate an Eloqua External Activity, you just provide five things:
- The external activity Asset Type (e.g., a Tradeshow, Webinar, Event, Seminar, etc.)
- The Asset Name (e.g., for a Tradeshow this might be "My User Group")
- The Activity Type (e.g., Registered, Attended, etc.)
- The date when the activity occurred
- The Eloqua Campaign the activity is associated with
In the Activity Generation settings, specify your external activity settings. The app allows you to provide this information using data from Custom Object fields, as static fields or by selecting information already within Eloqua.
Click the icon to the left of the corresponding field to switch between Custom Object, static or Eloqua data. The activity date can be when the record is process by the app or come from a Custom Object field.
Next, specify the Eloqua Campaign for the external activity. You can search for and select the desired Eloqua campaign or use a Custom Object field, which contains the either Eloqua Campaign Internal ID or external CRM ID associated with your Eloqua campaign.
Click the toggle button to use either a Custom Object field or search for your desired Eloqua Campaign.
Lastly, specify your Eloqua Contact association method either by using the Custom Object record's mapped Eloqua Contact or by using an email address field on the Custom Object record.
Step 3: Append Campaign Info
