Custom Object → Get

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with Oracle Eloqua's REST API to manage Custom Objects. Specifically, the 'Get' operation for the 'Custom Object' resource retrieves data of a specific custom object by its ID. This is useful for workflows that need to fetch detailed information about a particular custom object stored in Eloqua, such as retrieving metadata or configuration details for further processing or decision-making.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a custom object by its ID to check its configuration before updating it.
  2. Fetch a custom object to use its data in another system or workflow step.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication The authentication method to use for connecting to the Eloqua API, either Basic Authentication or OAuth2.
ID The unique identifier of the custom object to retrieve. This is required to specify which custom object to get.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the retrieved custom object.
  • name - The name of the custom object.
  • description - Description of the custom object.
  • emailAddressFieldId - ID of the email address field in the custom object, if any.
  • displayNameFieldId - ID of the display name field in the custom object, if any.
  • uniqueCodeFieldId - ID of the unique code field in the custom object, if any.
  • deleteLinkedCustomObjectData - Flag indicating if linked custom object data is deleted when linked contact records are deleted.
  • fields - Array of custom fields defined for the custom object, including their names, data types, display types, keys, and values.

Dependencies

  • Oracle Eloqua REST API

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided custom object ID is correct and exists in Eloqua; otherwise, the API will return an error indicating the object was not found.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the credentials (Basic Auth or OAuth2 token) are invalid or expired; verify and refresh credentials as needed.
  • API rate limits or network issues can cause request failures; implement retry logic or check network connectivity.
