Why teams connect 6sense and Eloqua

Flow 6sense data into Eloqua in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

6sense is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Eloqua, so Eloqua always reflects the current state of 6sense — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

6sense owns the customer relationship and the pipeline; Eloqua runs the campaigns, audiences, and outreach that fill it. The two overlap on the same people and companies — a lead in one system is a subscriber, a segment member, an event registrant, or an ad audience in the other. When that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or a nightly job, sales works from lists that no longer match reality and marketing keeps targeting people whose status has already moved on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed in-market account lists to sales engagement tools to start sequences automatically.
  • 02 Sync 6sense buying stage and intent scores onto CRM accounts so sellers prioritize in-market targets.
  • 03 Add or remove Contacts from shared Contact Lists and Segments based on lifecycle stage computed downstream in a database.
  • 04 Two-way sync Contacts between Eloqua and a Postgres or warehouse table, matched on email, so ops teams query and update marketing profiles in SQL while marketers keep working in Eloqua.

Common sync patterns

Where Eloqua captures engagement: activity lands on the record

Opens, clicks, form fills, event attendance, or ad responses recorded in Eloqua post back to the contact or account in 6sense, so reps see interest before they reach out.

Lead and lifecycle status agree

Status, stage, or score set in one system updates the matching record in the other, so a lead marketing is still nurturing is not worked as sales-ready, and a closed account stops receiving prospecting.

Segments and audiences follow the CRM

Where Eloqua builds lists, segments, or ad audiences, membership tracks the fields and stage owned in 6sense, so who receives a campaign reflects current pipeline reality instead of a stale export.

What you can sync between 6sense and Eloqua

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

6sense objects Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Accounts Company records enriched with firmographics and intent data, matched to CRM accounts. Accounts Company records linked to Contacts via the account-linkage field; moved through the Bulk API and typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Eloqua. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction.
People / Contacts Persona and contact data surfaced for accounts, used to build outreach lists. Emails Email creative and email-group assets managed via the Application REST API; usually read for reporting rather than written by a sync. People / Contacts is specific to 6sense and Emails to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reach Scores Model scores reflecting the level and recency of outreach to an account or contact, used to prioritize follow-up. Forms and Form Submits Form definitions and their submission data, accessed through the Application REST API; submissions read out into a warehouse for lead capture and analysis. Reach Scores is specific to 6sense and Forms and Form Submits to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Segments Dynamic account lists built from intent and fit criteria, read out to drive targeting. Contact Lists and Segments Shared lists (static) and segments (dynamic audiences); Contacts are added to or removed from shared lists based on lifecycle stage computed downstream. Segments is specific to 6sense and Contact Lists and Segments to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buying Stage Scores Model-predicted stage per account, synced onto CRM records for prioritization. Contacts Core person records, keyed on email address as the unique identifier; imported/exported via the Bulk API and upserted on email, synced two-way with CRM, warehouse, and app databases. Buying Stage Scores is specific to 6sense and Contacts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Intent Signals Keyword-level research activity used to flag in-market accounts. Custom Data Objects Auxiliary data tables (CDOs) linked to Contacts for records like event registrations or purchases; synced via the Bulk API so nurture campaigns can branch on them. Intent Signals is specific to 6sense and Custom Data Objects to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between 6sense and Eloqua

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

6sense Eloqua Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls 6sense for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Eloqua through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Eloqua 6sense Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Eloqua for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via Bulk API exports filtered on a contact/account modified-date field using EML filter syntax.

Delivery6sense does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: 6sense's output flows back as field updates on the originating Eloqua records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 6sense: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by contracted API package.
  • Eloqua: Per-instance soft limits by sync type (Export 2,000/hr, Import 2,000/hr, Sync Action 4,000/hr); 32 MB cap per POST to a staging area and 50,000 records per retrieve batch.
