There are situations where you might need to delete Contacts from your Oracle Eloqua database, create a backup of the data but you need it to happen automatically. That’s now possible with this Cloud App.
There may be several reasons to delete Contacts, here are some examples:
- Hard Bouncebacks

For this cloud action, you can indicate an existing Contact View and backup the Contact Data using the fields in it. If you don’t select a View, Contacts will be deleted without a backup.
When you select a View from the dropdown, you can indicate the SFTP settings (Hostname – can be either an IP or a domain, it can include a folder path/Username/Password), the CSV Settings (Filename, Delimiter, if you want each value surrounded with quotes, file encoding) and the email address to send a notification on success/failure. Additionally you can test the SFTP Credentials by clicking the button “Test Credentials” and it will indicate if they’ve valid or not.
