问题
I'm quite new in Eloqua. I'm trying to generate Progressive Profiling Forms, and as I can find in the web, there are two ways: Adding Rules, or setting Stages or Linear flow. But, I am not being able to do either.
Any help?
By the way, the most I could progress, is: click on Progressive Profile button, add some fields, then copy/paste HTML+JS generated, and open the form in Chrome (the whole code seems to be complete auto-sufficent). But there are many weird behaviors...
回答1:
The way progressive profiling form works is: Form Fields where contact data is populated using Field Merges are hidden. Form fields which do not have a value (or if the field merge could not populate a value) are displayed for the submitter to provide.
This means that each time a contact provides some information, This data is captured and hidden, so that the next visit (or a visit to a different page) will display a different set of fields
Quoting one article (This is the same link you provided on an earlier question)
As the contact comes back to get more information from you, progressive profiling allows you to ask them for more and equally important, new, information about themselves. You get to know them better over time all the while making it easy for them to get what they want. Then, like any form data collected, this information can be used to enable lead scoring, persona development and predictive analysis modeling.
- The first run will show a small set of fields (this is configured manually on the Eloqua forms)
- When the same contact enters another webpage with a similar form, on the same browser as before (This is essential), the earlier fields are hidden and a new set of fields are displayed.
- In other words, with each visit fields which are pre-populated with contact data are hidden from view and only the fields that do not have a value are displayed.
Note
- For Progressive Profiling to work, The browser must have cookies enabled, and the form fields must have a Field Merge
- Progressive Profiling does not work on a local html. It has to be on a Landing Page or a website with Eloqua tracking
- The Progressive profiling behavior is different, if your page domains are different (example1.com and example2.com for instance)
Additional References
- You can refer to Oracle's documentation for further details on this. For configuring Progressive Profile on Eloqua forms, you can refer the links below
- Adding a Progressive Profile - This mode will just list x fields that do not have values. The x would have to be manually added into Eloqua
- Configuring a progressive profile in staged mode - This will display a group of fields rather than just going one field after another
- You can also refer to Oracle Communities where you will get a more concise response from Eloqua users, if not Consultants from Oracle
- When searching communities, you might be some across articles about a Progressive Profiling Cloud Component, this component was discontinued in 2017
