Overview
Oracle Eloqua and Monday.com CRM operate at different layers of the go-to-market stack. Eloqua is an enterprise B2B marketing automation platform built around Contacts, Accounts, Campaigns, Programs, Segments, and Custom Data Objects with multi-touch Lead Scoring and drip campaign orchestration. Monday.com CRM is a visual, board-based relationship management tool built on the monday.com work OS that models People, Companies, Deals, and Tasks as interconnected board items. The migration is fundamentally a data consolidation exercise: we extract the contact, account, and deal records from Eloqua via its Bulk API, resolve the field-to-column mapping, transform picklist values and date formats, and load into Monday.com CRM's board structure. We preserve email addresses, company associations, deal values, and activity timestamps where Monday.com CRM supports those fields. We do not migrate Campaigns, Programs, Segments, Lead Scoring models, email assets, forms, or landing pages because these are either automation logic (non-portable) or design assets that require rebuild at the destination. We deliver a written inventory of every Eloqua Campaign, Program, and Lead Scoring model with a recommended Monday.com Automations equivalent for your team to rebuild post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Oracle Eloqua object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Oracle Eloqua
Contact
monday CRM
People (Item type)
1:1Eloqua Contacts migrate to Monday.com CRM People items. We extract first name, last name, email address, phone, title, and address fields and map them to the corresponding People item columns. Any custom contact fields from Eloqua map to custom columns on the People item, with field type conversion (Eloqua text fields become monday.com text columns, date fields become date columns, picklist fields become dropdown or tag columns). The primary email address is used as the dedupe key during import. Contacts without a valid email address are flagged in the reconciliation report for manual review.
Oracle Eloqua
Account
monday CRM
Company (Item type)
1:1Eloqua Accounts migrate to Monday.com CRM Company items. We map account name, website, industry, employee count, annual revenue, and address fields. The Account-to-Contact relationship is preserved by resolving the Company item linked to each People item during import. Company dedupe uses domain matching (Account Website field). Any custom account-level fields map to custom columns on the Company item.
Oracle Eloqua
Custom Data Objects (CDOs)
monday CRM
Custom Item Types or linked Boards
1:1Eloqua CDOs each have independent schemas that we map to Monday.com custom item types or to dedicated boards. We export CDO records via the Bulk API, extract the field schema, and create matching Monday.com column structures before loading data. CDO records that reference Contacts or Accounts migrate with lookup links to the corresponding People or Company items. CDOs with inter-record relationships (CDO-to-CDO lookups) require a dependency-aware import sequence and may need to flatten into separate columns in Monday.com if the platform does not support multi-level lookups on the customer's plan tier.
Oracle Eloqua
Campaign / Program
monday CRM
Board or Group (documentation only)
1:1Eloqua Campaigns and Programs define multi-step orchestration logic (wait steps, conditional branches, trigger conditions) that is tightly coupled to Eloqua's campaign execution engine. These do not migrate as functional objects. We export campaign metadata (name, type, targeting criteria, start and end dates) and deliver a written inventory document describing each Campaign's structure, step logic, and contact count. The customer's team uses this inventory to design equivalent Automations or Board Views in Monday.com CRM post-migration.
Oracle Eloqua
Segment / Shared List
monday CRM
Group (documentation only)
1:1Eloqua Segments are dynamic filter definitions that evaluate contact properties at send time; Shared Lists are static contact collections. Dynamic segment logic has no direct equivalent in Monday.com CRM because the platform does not support live dynamic audience queries. We export Shared List memberships (the static set of contact IDs in each list) and map them to Groups or Views within the relevant People board, or to a dedicated tagging strategy. Dynamic segment filter definitions are documented for manual rebuild as monday.com Filters.
Oracle Eloqua
Lead Scoring Model
monday CRM
No equivalent (documentation only)
lossyEloqua Lead Scoring models (weighted demographic scores and behavioral scores per Contact) are stored in proprietary configuration with no export mechanism. We document the current scoring model structure including rule weights, demographic factors, behavioral factors, and score thresholds. Monday.com CRM does not include a native lead scoring engine; teams that require scoring rebuild it using monday.com Automations with conditional logic based on custom columns, or integrate a dedicated scoring tool (e.g., MadKudu, Gradient AI, or a custom model). We provide a structured handoff document for this rebuild.
Oracle Eloqua
Activity and Engagement Data
monday CRM
Activity columns or linked Items
1:manyEloqua tracks engagement events (email opens, clicks, form submissions, page visits) as Activity records linked to Contacts. Monday.com CRM supports activity logging through its native Activity Log and through custom Timeline columns. We migrate engagement events as Activity Log entries or as custom columns on the People item, capturing event type, timestamp, and related asset reference where available. Large engagement histories (exceeding 100,000 records) require chunked export against Eloqua's Bulk API hourly limit of 2,000 records and extended timeline accordingly. Email-level engagement data (opens, clicks) is highest priority; form submission and page visit data migrates where the destination column structure supports it.
Oracle Eloqua
Picklist (Shared Lists)
monday CRM
Dropdown or Tags columns
lossyEloqua picklists define controlled vocabulary for custom fields. We export picklist definitions (display name, stored value) and recreate them as Monday.com Dropdown or Tags columns on the relevant item type. Multi-select picklists map to monday.com Tags columns. The mapping between Eloqua stored values and Monday.com display values is preserved in the field mapping document. New picklist values added after migration require manual extension of the monday.com column options.
Oracle Eloqua
Email Assets
monday CRM
No direct equivalent (documentation only)
1:1Eloqua Email Assets include HTML content, subject lines, sender configuration, and asset library images. Monday.com CRM does not include an email marketing module. We export email asset metadata (subject line, send date, contact count, open rate, click rate) as a written report. HTML email templates are exported and delivered as assets for re-upload to the customer's chosen email platform (e.g., Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot Free). Email sending and tracking must be managed through a dedicated email marketing tool post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and source audit
We audit the Oracle Eloqua environment via Bulk API 2.0 and REST API, cataloging all Contacts, Accounts, Custom Data Objects, Shared Lists, Campaigns, Programs, Lead Scoring models, and engagement activity volume. We identify picklist definitions, custom field schemas, and any inter-object dependencies (Account-to-Contact, CDO-to-Contact, Program-to-Segment). We document the complete object inventory and estimate export volumes for rate-limit planning. We also assess whether Monday.com CRM is the right destination for the marketing layer (it is not an Eloqua replacement) and flag which marketing functions require a separate tool.
Schema design in Monday.com CRM
We design the destination structure in Monday.com CRM before any data moves. This includes provisioning the People and Companies item types with standard fields, creating custom columns to receive Eloqua custom field data, defining dropdown and Tags column options mapped to Eloqua picklist values, and designing any custom item types or linked boards for CDO data. We configure the CRM plan tier required to support the target schema (number of custom columns, item types, and integrations) and confirm with the customer before provisioning.
Picklist mapping and data transformation
We build the field mapping spreadsheet that defines every Eloqua-to-Monday.com field correspondence, including type conversions (Eloqua date formats to monday.com date columns, multi-select picklists to Tags columns, address composites to individual address fields). Picklist value translation tables map Eloqua stored values to Monday.com display values. Any Eloqua calculated fields or formula fields are flagged as requiring Monday.com formula column equivalents or manual post-migration computation.
Bulk API extraction with rate-limit compliance
We run Eloqua Bulk API 2.0 exports in rate-compliant batches against the 2,000-record-per-hour soft limit. Large databases (exceeding 50,000 contacts) run over multiple sessions to avoid throttling. Exports sequence by dependency: Accounts first (to resolve Company items), then Contacts (with AccountId lookup resolved), then CDOs, then activity history. Each export batch is validated for completeness (record counts, field population rates, null percentages) before the corresponding Monday.com import begins.
Monday.com CRM import and reconciliation
We load data into Monday.com CRM using the platform's REST API or CSV import mechanism, respecting any batch size limits. People items are loaded first, linked to pre-created Company items. CDO records load last with lookup resolution to the parent People or Company. Activity history loads as Activity Log entries or custom columns on the People item. We produce a reconciliation report comparing Eloqua source record counts against Monday.com destination item counts for each object type. Any discrepancies (missing records, rejected rows, unmapped fields) are investigated and corrected before production cutover.
Cutover, validation, and handoff documentation
We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the cutover window, then deliver the complete handoff package: the field mapping spreadsheet, the campaign and program inventory document, the Lead Scoring model documentation, the picklist translation tables, and the reconciliation reports. We provide a written automation rebuild guide for each Eloqua Campaign and Program that maps to a recommended Monday.com Automations design. We do not rebuild automations as standard scope. We support a one-week hypercare window for post-go-live data issues.
