Why teams connect Databricks and Eloqua

Put modeled data to work and measure what it drives: Databricks and Eloqua keep contacts, audiences, and campaign results in step in real time, in both directions.

Databricks is where your team models customers, product usage, and revenue into trusted tables; Eloqua runs the campaigns, audiences, and messages that reach those people. The two overlap wherever the same person, account, or segment matters to both, and when the bridge between them is a nightly export or a hand-built list, marketing targets stale data while analytics never sees what the campaign returned.

Stacksync syncs Schemas, Delta Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Databricks with Custom Data Objects, Activities, Campaigns, Emails in Eloqua field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — a computed score or segment can flow out to Eloqua while sends, opens, and conversions flow back to Databricks — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • 02 Use Change Data Feed to propagate only changed rows to downstream apps instead of full-table scans.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Export email opens, clicks, form submits, and bounces from the Bulk API Activities export into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.

Common sync patterns

Keep the contact and audience list current

New and updated contacts, leads, or audience members flow between Databricks and Eloqua, so the marketing audience reflects the people in your warehouse and corrections propagate instead of the two sides drifting apart.

Suppression and consent stay aligned

Unsubscribes, bounces, and consent or opt-out flags held in either system propagate to the other, so no one is messaged after opting out and Databricks holds the current state for auditing.

Enrich records with warehouse context

Product-usage counts, plan tier, region, or account owner computed in Databricks appear on the matching record in Eloqua, so targeting, routing, and personalization use up-to-date context.

What you can sync between Databricks 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.

Databricks objects Eloqua objects How this pairing syncs
Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address. Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Catalogs is specific to Databricks and Campaigns to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system. Emails Email creative and email-group assets managed via the Application REST API; usually read for reporting rather than written by a sync. Schemas is specific to Databricks and Emails to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables. 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. Delta Tables is specific to Databricks and Forms and Form Submits to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. 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. Views is specific to Databricks and Contact Lists and Segments to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. 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. Materialized Views is specific to Databricks and Contacts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. 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. Volumes is specific to Databricks and Accounts to Eloqua — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Databricks 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.

Databricks Eloqua Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Databricks are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes.

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

Eloqua Databricks 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 Databricks as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Databricks: Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits.
  • 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.
