Why teams connect OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Give your team Salesforce Marketing Cloud's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and skip the marketing API.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud 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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Transactional Sends, Data Extensions, Contacts / Subscribers, Journeys (Journey Builder) from Salesforce Marketing Cloud into Views, Materialized views, Schemas, Sequences in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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 OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Salesforce Marketing Cloud to drive campaigns and ads, with Salesforce Marketing Cloud kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate operational tables from OCI to an analytics warehouse with log-based CDC instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 02 Run on-prem Oracle and OCI side by side during a cloud migration while keeping both ends writable.
  • 03 Sync Contacts and Subscriber Key subscription status between Marketing Cloud and a CRM so suppression and opt-in state stay current before the next send.
  • 04 Stream Event Notification Service callbacks for transactional sends, bounces, opens, and clicks into a database in near real time alongside CRM contact records.

Common sync patterns

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Salesforce Marketing Cloud 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 Salesforce Marketing Cloud land in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) 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 Salesforce Marketing Cloud arrives as a row change in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), so scoring, jobs, and notifications run in the tooling your team already uses.

What you can sync between OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Salesforce Marketing Cloud

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.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) objects Salesforce Marketing Cloud objects How this pairing syncs
PL/SQL procedures and packages Server-side logic that can react to synced data or transform it in place Contacts / Subscribers The contact model keyed by Subscriber Key, holding channel addresses and subscription status; managed through the Contacts API (/contacts/v1/contacts) and the SOAP Subscriber object, and referenced by every send and journey. PL/SQL procedures and packages is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Contacts / Subscribers to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON collections Document-style storage in the converged engine, synced alongside relational tables Journeys (Journey Builder) Multi-step automated flows read and managed via /interaction/v1/interactions; contacts are injected by firing an entry event to /interaction/v1/events with an EventDefinitionKey and contact data. JSON collections is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Journeys (Journey Builder) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions Physical table subdivisions relevant when replicating large fact tables Content Assets (Content Builder) Emails, templates, images, and reusable content blocks stored in Content Builder and read or written via /asset/v1/content/assets, used to compose the messages a journey or send delivers. Partitions is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Content Assets (Content Builder) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync surface; rows are read and written directly over SQL Automations (Automation Studio) Scheduled or triggered workflows of import, query, extract, and send activities managed via /automation/v1/automations; SQL Query Activities read Data Views and write results into Data Extensions. Tables is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Automations (Automation Studio) to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used to expose curated subsets to downstream systems Tracking Events Sent, Open, Click, Bounce, Unsubscribe, and NotSent events retrieved through the SOAP tracking objects (SentEvent, OpenEvent, ClickEvent, BounceEvent) or the Automation Studio Data Views (_Sent, _Open, _Click, _Bounce) - the queryable record of engagement per send. Views is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Tracking Events to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Precomputed result sets sometimes used as stable read sources for replication Transactional Sends Triggered and transactional Email/SMS delivered through the Messaging API (/messaging/v1/email/messages/{key}); the Event Notification Service reports each message's disposition (delivered, bounced, opened, clicked). Materialized views is specific to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Transactional Sends to Salesforce Marketing Cloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Salesforce Marketing Cloud

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.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Salesforce Marketing Cloud Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling.

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

Salesforce Marketing Cloud OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Sub-second propagation

DetectionSalesforce Marketing Cloud notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Event Notification Service (ENS) issues HTTPS POST callbacks for transactional Email and SMS events (sent, bounce, open, click) once a callback.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): Throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas.
  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud: Salesforce does not publish fixed numeric REST rate limits; requests are throttled per account and can return HTTP 429, so backoff is advised. SOAP Retrieve returns at most 2,500 records per call and pages via ContinueRequest with the prior RequestID. Bulk Data Extension writes use the async rows API to queue inserts in the background.

How the OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Salesforce Marketing Cloud connectors work

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (Oracle Net) via JDBC, ODBC, and native drivers; ORDS REST optionally exposes tables over HTTP
Authentication
database credentials, commonly with mutual TLS using a client wallet on Autonomous Database; OCI IAM integration available
Change detection
log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling
Capabilities

throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas

Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Integration surface
Two APIs on tenant-specific endpoints: a REST API (JSON over HTTPS) for Data Extensions, Journeys, Contacts, Content Builder, and Automations, plus a legacy SOAP API (ExactTarget WSDL) for tracking events and bulk Retrieve.
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via an Installed Package (Client ID + Client Secret). Server-to-server uses the client_credentials grant and web apps use authorization_code, both against {subdomain}.auth.marketingcloudapis.com/v2/token. The 20-minute access token response also returns the account's rest_instance_url and soap_instance_url.
Change detection
The Event Notification Service (ENS) issues HTTPS POST callbacks for transactional Email and SMS events (sent, bounce, open, click) once a callback URL and subscription are registered and verified. There is no general data-change feed, so Data Extension and Data View syncs poll by date fields.
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Salesforce does not publish fixed numeric REST rate limits; requests are throttled per account and can return HTTP 429, so backoff is advised. SOAP Retrieve returns at most 2,500 records per call and pages via ContinueRequest with the prior RequestID. Bulk Data Extension writes use the async rows API to queue inserts in the background.
