Can we create an Eloqua cookie for a user if we just know his email address and they have not clicked an email link or filled out an Eloqua form?

Scenario:
When a visitor comes to our website and creates a login, we are pushing their profile information to Eloqua via the Eloqua web services api. However, because they have not filled out an Eloqua form or clicked through an email, their page visit activity is not synced with their profile information in Eloqua because they don't have an Eloqua cookie yet (for first time visitors only).
I know you can integrate an external form with an Eloqua form (which will then create the Eloqua cookie automatically) but because this is a login form for our website, we don't want to send secure information (such as passwords) over to Eloqua.
Is there a way to create the Eloqua cookie using the web services api and/or javascript or is this a missing feature?

I think what you're asking is how can you link a visitor profile to an Eloqua contact.  An Eloqua cookie is placed on a user's computer by the javascript tracking scripts - this is just a unique id that is used when saving the visitor information to a table in the Eloqua database.  It will be there regardless of whether the user comes from an email or submits a form.  What does happen when a user visits your website from an Eloqua email or submits a form is the visitor profile that has been keeping track of website activity in Eloqua gets linked to an Eloqua contact by email address.
To make this link happen in your scenario, you can instead of pushing the information through the web services to Eloqua directly as a create contact call, create a form submission through the web services where you can pass through the elqCustomerGUID (the cookie value) along with at least an email address to make the link happen.
You will need to:
1. use javascript on your website to pull the elqCustomerGUID from eloqua.  There's code for this in the integration details for individual forms in Eloqua.  It has to be pulled from Eloqua servers because the cookie is a third party cookie.
2. pass this cookie value to your server so you have it when you make the web services calls to Eloqua to push the contact information over and now make a form submission record (entities through the api Base->Form->*this will be a form submission record*) to create the link in Eloqua.

  • My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas?

    my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas on how to override this issue?

    If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can anyone tell me what I need to set up iPhone 4? I have my email address and password but not user ID.  What is this?

    Do I need a user ID to set up a new iPhone. I have email address and password but not sure what the user ID is?

    User ID is an  Apple ID you use to buy paid or free stuff from the Apple Store, iTunes Store...
    It is in no way essential to use your iPhone, but it is indeed needed to purchase/download free or paid Apps, songs, books and so on.
    You can set-up a free Apple ID from your phone, or on →  https://appleid.apple.com

  • Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

    I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
    It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
    Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
    Thanks!

    You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    is also info about apple ID's.
    You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

  • Apparently when I send to a Group of Contacts they can all see every email address and this is not acceptable how do I avoid that

    I need to send to a group of about 50 parents. Their addresses are held in a Group of Contacts. I highlight the group name to distribute a message to all of them and what I am being told is that they can then all see every email address. This is not acceptable as many do not want their email address being made public in this way. Surely this should not happen or at least there should be a way to avoid it.

    re: and I quote "they can then all see every email address. This is not acceptable "
    I showed you the basic method of sending a group as Bcc - which is what you initially asked for.
    As you now specify that not only do you want to know how to use Bcc but every email needs to be personalised - not just distributing a message to all of them, then I would agree with Matt and advise you use Mail Merge. This creates separate emails - not a bulk email to several recipients, so using a TO field will only send to that person - other people will not see other email addresses.
    Matt has offered the link.
    Here is some more info regarding Mail Merge.
    '''How to install Add-ons:'''
    download the .xpi file to your computer eg: desktop or downloads folder.
    In Thunderbird
    'Tools' > 'Add-ons' OR 'Menu Icon' > 'Add-ons'
    click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
    see first image below as aid.
    locate the file you downloaded and click on 'Open'
    You may need to restart Thunderbird.
    Mail Merge will appear in the list.
    see second image below.
    '''How to set up a Template emails for Mail Merge:'''
    Create a Template email, which contains the 'personalised' sections.
    see example - third image below.
    I set the Subject as 'Mail Merge' so it is easily identifiable.
    Save it as a Template email.
    It will get stored in the 'Templates' folder. If you do not see a Templates folder, this is auto created when you create the first email and store as template.
    '''When you want to use Mail Merge.'''
    Select the Template folder.
    Select the 'Mail Merge' template
    either double click on the email in the list or right click on email and select 'Edit as new message'
    you can then change the Subject and compose or edit the message - but do not change the sections in the curly brackets - the point of saving this as a template saves you from typing it each time.
    'File ' > 'Mail Merge' (see third image)
    This will open a new small window
    see the fourth image below.
    I would suggest you use 'Send Later' option . this will put all the emails in your Outbox, but it does allow you to check the email is correct - or do spot checks. Then you can choose to send them all in one go.
    Right click on 'Outbox' folder and select 'Send unsent messages'.
    Hope this info helps you.
    As you are new to Thunderbird, you may or maynot have managed to locate all your toolbars.
    The fifth image shows you how to enable all toolbars to make life much easier.
    In addition some very useful info on maintaining a healthy Thunderbird and all about compacting- what it does and why it is important.

  • How can I create a custom dock for all users?

    Hello,
    I would like to create a custom dock for everyone that uses a certain Mac. I have found a bunch of stuff, but it is outdated. Most of the tutorials are for 10.4 or 10.5. I am using 10.7.4 and I have found nothing regarding that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I create a default dock for all users (Mavericks)?

    I would like to modify the dock to display specific installed applications.
    I then want this dock to be the default dock for any users that log in.
    OS is Mavericks.
    All users are AD users.
    No server management.
    We use Deep Freeze to revert the Mac to the way we set it up.
    I can find info for previous versions of OSX; basically just copying the plist, but I can't find anything that works for Mavericks.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    You could set up a user template for new user accounts, but you can’t stop individual users from modifying their Dock to suit their needs.
    I don’t know how to modify the user template, so you’ll have to google for it.

  • Why will Apple not accept my email change? It keeps telling me that it is not a valid email address.in the mean time it keeps defaulting me back to a non valid email address that I have not used for over three years. I closed that account.

    I Want to update my email address in my apple account. It will not accept my valid Email and defaults me back to a closed account, an invalid email. Frustrating. I have tried several times. Maybe I should close my apple account and purchase a Blackberry.

  • HT204053 I changed my email address and iphoto is using my old email address. How can I change it to my new address?

    I have a new email address. I am trying to send photos from my imac using iphoto. The old email address is not active. How can I
    change it to my new email address to send iphotos?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First change it with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
    Then change it on your device. In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

  • HT5312 I can no longer access my rescue email address.  I have forgotten my security questions so am locked out.  Is there a way round this?

    I have an Apple ID which I use for itunes.  I cannot now access the rescue email account I gave when registering.  I have forgotten my security questions and they keep sending emails to the email address I can't access and now I am locked out. 

    If you don't have accessto your rescue email address (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • After I make a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately is emailed to my email address and disappears from notes. How can I make it stay on notes?

    After I write a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately emails it to my email account and erases it from the note pad. How do I make it stay on the notepad? I don't particularly want it emailed to me.

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".
