Snap type:

Write


Description:

This Snap invokes an Eloqua REST API Create endpoint to create an Eloqua object of a specified type.

  • Expected input: The Snap invokes the Eloqua endpoint for the given object type once for each input document, using the document as the content sent to the endpoint. Check the Eloqua API documentation to understand the required and supported fields specific to the object type. Note that the Eloqua documentation is not very complete/accurate in this respect.
  • Expected output: The Snap outputs exactly one document for each object successfully created. This document is produced by the Eloqua endpoint. It describes the new object in its entirety and includes the new object's ID, which can be used for further operations on the object.
Prerequisites:

Support and limitations:
