Why teams connect Eloqua and Seismic

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

Seismic 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 Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities, Library Content, Content Versions in Seismic with Contacts, Accounts, Custom Data Objects, Activities in Eloqua field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — Seismic 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 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 02 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 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

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 Seismic, so who receives a campaign reflects current pipeline reality instead of a stale export.

Where Eloqua generates leads: hand-off without re-keying

New leads or responders captured in Eloqua flow into Seismic assigned and deduplicated, so nothing sits in a marketing list waiting for someone to export it.

What you can sync between Eloqua and Seismic

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 Seismic 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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Contacts is specific to Eloqua and Teamsites to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Accounts is specific to Eloqua and LiveSend Links to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Custom Data Objects is specific to Eloqua and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — 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. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Activities is specific to Eloqua and Reporting Activities to Seismic — 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. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Campaigns is specific to Eloqua and Library Content to Seismic — 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. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Emails is specific to Eloqua and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Eloqua and Seismic

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 Seismic 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 Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic Eloqua Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
