Why teams connect AWS Aurora MySQL and Eloqua

Give your team Eloqua's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in AWS Aurora MySQL: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Eloqua, and skip the marketing API.

Eloqua holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in AWS Aurora MySQL, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Contact Lists and Segments, Contacts, Accounts, Custom Data Objects from Eloqua into Foreign keys, Stored procedures and triggers, Databases (schemas), Tables in AWS Aurora MySQL field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in AWS Aurora MySQL, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Eloqua to drive campaigns and ads, with Eloqua kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Let operations teams edit records in a spreadsheet-style tool with changes written back to Aurora safely.
  • 02 Give backend services read and write access to ERP or billing data by syncing it into Aurora tables the application already queries.
  • 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

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in AWS Aurora MySQL from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Eloqua as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

Engagement and results next to the customer

Opens, clicks, sends, RSVPs, or ad activity from Eloqua land in AWS Aurora MySQL beside the matching customer record, ready for reporting and revenue attribution.

React to marketing changes as row changes

A new lead, form fill, or list change in Eloqua arrives as a row change in AWS Aurora MySQL, so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

What you can sync between AWS Aurora MySQL 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.

AWS Aurora MySQL objects Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync unit; each table maps one-to-one to a table or object in the paired system. 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. Tables is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Contacts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Inserted, updated, and deleted individually or in bulk during two-way syncs. 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. Rows is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Accounts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns MySQL data types are mapped to the paired system's field types during schema setup. 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. Columns is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Custom Data Objects to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary keys and indexes Used to match rows across systems and keep incremental syncs efficient. Activities Engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submits, bounces, page views, subscribes/unsubscribes) exported through the Bulk API activities export; read-only feed for scoring and attribution. Primary keys and indexes is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Activities to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Can serve as read-only sync sources for derived or filtered datasets. Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Views is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Campaigns to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Foreign keys Express relationships that syncs preserve when mapping to related objects elsewhere. Emails Email creative and email-group assets managed via the Application REST API; usually read for reporting rather than written by a sync. Foreign keys is specific to AWS Aurora MySQL and Emails to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS Aurora MySQL 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.

AWS Aurora MySQL Eloqua Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in AWS Aurora MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via the MySQL binary log (binlog), with polling on timestamp columns as a fallback.

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

Eloqua AWS Aurora MySQL 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.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to AWS Aurora MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
