Here is a simple example of getting a contact from Eloqua -

The REST API doc for Contacts is here

The general REST API docs are there

First step is to get your base URL -

GET https://login.eloqua.com/id 

I execute this request in Postman -


















Note: I use BasicAuth and the username has the format CompanyName\User.












Check out the "base" on line 15. Yes, I have obfuscated it somewhat.

Now I take this base url and add - /data/contact/{id}
















Let's look at the contact in Eloqua, before executing the REST request -


























Note the Eloqua Contact ID field value above.
I drop the leading CMK110000000000 - leaving me with id=16.

I use this value in the request -





and get the following response -

















I save this response to a file - here is the format -

Create a new Eloqua REST connection in ICS

Note I use the base url from above here.
Username again in the format CompanyName\User.

Create a new integration in ICS

I then create the integration and drop this connection as an invoke -



I use the response file I saved here.






















I now drop a REST adapter as Trigger -



I use the response file I saved here.


























I do the mapping -

Request -


Response -


















I set the Tracking -













I activate the integration and then test -
