Why teams connect Eloqua and MarkLogic

Give your team Eloqua's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in MarkLogic: 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 MarkLogic, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Forms and Form Submits, Contact Lists and Segments, Contacts, Accounts from Eloqua into Databases & Forests, Users & Roles, Documents, Collections in MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic, 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 Sync curated master data from a MarkLogic data hub into operational CRMs and ERPs.
  • 02 Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
  • 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

React to marketing changes as row changes

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

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

Query Eloqua like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Eloqua live in MarkLogic as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Eloqua and MarkLogic

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 MarkLogic objects How this pairing syncs
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. Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Activities is specific to Eloqua and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — 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. Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Campaigns is specific to Eloqua and Databases & Forests to MarkLogic — 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. Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. Emails is specific to Eloqua and Users & Roles to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Forms and Form Submits is specific to Eloqua and Documents to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Contact Lists and Segments is specific to Eloqua and Collections to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. Contacts is specific to Eloqua and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Eloqua and MarkLogic

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

MarkLogic Eloqua Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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