Why teams connect Eloqua and Freshworks CRM

Keep the people you sell to and the people you market to in one shared view: Freshworks CRM and Eloqua sync contacts, accounts, and engagement in real time, in both directions.

Freshworks CRM 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.

Stacksync syncs Lists, Notes, Contacts, Accounts in Freshworks CRM 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 — Freshworks CRM can own account and opportunity status while Eloqua owns engagement and campaign membership — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep list membership aligned with segments computed in the warehouse.
  • 02 Mirror deal and activity data into a Postgres database that internal tools query directly.
  • 03 Export email opens, clicks, form submits, and bounces from the Bulk API Activities export into a warehouse for lead scoring and multi-touch attribution.
  • 04 Load purchase or product-usage records into Custom Data Objects linked to Contacts so nurture campaigns branch on behavior mastered in another system.

Common sync patterns

New and updated people stay in step

When a contact or lead is created or edited in either system, the matching record appears or updates in the other, so campaigns reach real people and reps see who is already being marketed to.

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 Freshworks CRM, 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.

What you can sync between Eloqua and Freshworks CRM

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.

Eloqua objects Freshworks CRM objects How this pairing 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. Contacts Unified sales-and-marketing person records; the core entity for bidirectional syncs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Accounts Company records kept consistent with ERP and billing systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Deals Pipeline records synced out for forecasting and full-funnel reporting. Custom Data Objects is specific to Eloqua and Deals to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tasks Follow-ups created from external signals such as product usage events. Activities is specific to Eloqua and Tasks to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Multi-step campaign-canvas assets managed through the Application REST API; campaign membership and response data read out for attribution reporting. Appointments Meeting records readable for activity reporting. Campaigns is specific to Eloqua and Appointments to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Emails Email creative and email-group assets managed via the Application REST API; usually read for reporting rather than written by a sync. Sales activities Logged activity types used in engagement and productivity analysis. Emails is specific to Eloqua and Sales activities to Freshworks CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Eloqua and Freshworks CRM

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.

Eloqua Freshworks CRM 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 written to Freshworks CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Freshworks CRM Eloqua Sub-second propagation

DetectionFreshworks CRM notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with updated-at filters.

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

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.
  • Freshworks CRM: Subject to per-account API rate limits that vary by plan.
