Append Fields Cloud Action Documentation
Table of Contents
Purpose
There are situations where you need to append two contact fields. This simple step is not that simple or even possible using Eloqua’s out-of-the-box features. This is where this cloud action comes into play. With Append Fields you can append the values of two contact fields, use a custom “joint” and put the resulting value on the field you want.
This document will show how this Cloud Action can be used inside Campaign Canvas.
