# Eloqua Sending

{% hint style="info" %}
If you haven't integrated your ESP in the settings yet, it's best to do that before finalizing your automated campaign. [Click here to learn how.](/integrations/eloqua.md)
{% endhint %}

### Finalize Your Eloqua Automation Settings <a href="#headline-60-20978" id="headline-60-20978"></a>

When you are within your automated campaign, select the **Integration** tab on the left sidebar.&#x20;

Click Connect, then you will see this:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/HgAfk94I9cOuimK9pMLm" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Choose the Eloqua Connection previously established.&#x20;

**FeedOtter uses Simple Email Campaigns to automate sending with Eloqua.** To learn about advanced settings for Canvas Email, please follow this link:

{% endcontent-ref %}

You should see **Segments** appear. **Segments** is the list of people who will receive your email. Eloqua only allows you to select one.

You can paste in the exact name of the segment and click **Lookup.** Select the segment to the right to select.  We strongly recommend creating a "test segment" or "internal segment" that contains one or more test emails. This will allow you to test the full Eloqua send process with internal stakeholders.  This segment can be changed at a later date when you are ready to send to the masses.

### Choose your **Email Groups**

This allows you to control pre-pending and appending Eloqua header and footer details to your FeedOtter emails. Some customers prefer to use an Eloqua dynamic content block for the footer which works as well. To do this, the user would edit the FeedOtter html template code and insert their Eloqua Dynamic Content token in the desired place, footer, etc.

### Save and Go! <a href="#headline-934-24943" id="headline-934-24943"></a>

Now you are ready to send out your Eloqua RSS Email Campaign. Once you've filled out the required settings, click Save Settings and Start Campaign.\
Your Automated Email will appear in the Campaign blocks and will send according to the sending schedule you made in your Automated Email.

### Advanced Eloqua RSS Email Options <a href="#headline-937-24943" id="headline-937-24943"></a>

Under the **Email Groups** information, there are **Advanced Options** to select if you have these setup. Please see this article for more on these options:
