Thanks a lot. Extremely helpful video. Keep up the good work! Such things are really life saver while working with complexities of Eloqua.

Thanks for the vid mate, helps a lot! Two questions: 1. how do you get the actual names of the custom fields when retrieving a contact? 2. how do you update only few fields on an existing contact?

Hi, not sure if this is what you are looking for but in this example Get call "secure.p01.eloqua.com/API/REST/2.0/data/contact/view/100001/contacts/segment/22038" it will pull all the contacts that are in a certain segment (in this example the SegmentID is 22038) and in the body it returns the field names. If you want to update just a few fields of a contact you should be able to just use the endpoint detailed here: docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/marketing/eloqua-rest-api/op-api-rest-1.0-data-contact-id-put.html Hope that helps

Please upload more videos on Eloqua

[@martechhero]

Plan to upload more Eloqua videos soon. If there is any particular topic you are interested in let me know.

@@martechhero For example, you can create a video where to put the tracking pixels when we use Eloqua's Blank Responsive Landing Page using Drag and Drop Builder. It is very challenging to add meta data, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager's conversion pixels on the page. Right now I am using a work-around, but it is not the real way of doing it.

Hi - if you log into your Eloqua instance via SSO , what do you put for the auth login details?

[@martechhero]

There is a way to use SSO with Postman but you would need to have the "Professional" Postman plan. You can't do it with the Postman Free or Basic plan unfortunately.
