Custom Contact Views for Oracle Eloqua Sales Tools for Microsoft Outlook Add-in
As an Oracle Eloqua administrator, you can now create custom contact views for your sales reps who use the Oracle Eloqua Sales Tools for Microsoft Outlook.
- Administrators create and share contact views with sales rep using existing Eloqua contact view management and access settings.
- When sales reps with the Manage Contacts action permission create new Eloqua contacts using the add-in, they can now choose the contact view to use.
IMPORTANT: This enhancement is expected to be delivered as part of our 22.05 CX Apps release (view all 2022 Oracle CX Apps for Eloqua Release Dates).
If you are an Eloqua administrator, you will be able to limit the number of sales emails that a rep can send to the same contact over a period of time. These limits can help you prevent contact fatigue and unsubscribes, which also helps maintain your domain's reputation.
IMPORTANT: This enhancement is expected to be delivered as part of our 22.05 CX Apps release (view all 2022 Oracle CX Apps for Eloqua Release Dates). After the Engage app update is available for your environment, you can request access to this Controlled Availability feature. Log in to My Oracle Support and create a service request.

- You can choose to apply phone number validation on the Contact Fields Mobile Phone and Business Phone. Validation is available in the Contact user interface and on form fields.
- When designing forms, you can add form processing steps to manage SMS preferences, such as phone number opt-in and opt-out, subscribe contacts globally, and unsubscribe contacts globally.

Chrome 100 and Firefox 98 are the A (Best Choice) browsers for Oracle Eloqua.
Automated Certificate Management
Oracle Eloqua is moving toward securing all customer-branded domains with Eloqua-owed DV SAN certificates. This will include automatic renewal of the certificates prior to their expiration.
IMPORTANT: This is a Controlled Availability feature that will be rolled out over time. Pods 6 and 7 will have this feature available in the 22B update. We plan to make it available for other pods in the months following the 22B update. There is no additional cost for this feature, however you may be required to work with your IT team to make changes to your existing domain configuration. You can check if this feature is enabled for your site by checking the certificate management screen. When it is available in your environment, you can request access to this Controlled Availability feature. Log in to My Oracle Support and create a service request.
The Oracle Eloqua Bulk API has the following updates:
- Bulk API form submit activity exports will now check the Visitor link to Contacts by first checking the Contact ID set upon form submission.
- Import definitions now include an updateRuleByField parameter, which specifies how Eloqua should handle updating records by field. If you do not specify an updateRuleByField, or leave a field out of updateRuleByField, then the rule type defaults to the rule set with updateRule.
CDO App API Endpoints Search Limits
With the 22B update, Custom Data Objects (CDOs) with more than one million records are being updated to accept only one search request at a time using Application API 1.0 and 2.0 endpoints in certain conditions. Requests will be limited when searching using only non-indexed fields or not including an indexing field without a leading wildcard.
