Integrating Chili Piper Booking Links into Oracle Eloqua

Including a calendar link in your email campaigns can receive a substantial boost in conversion rates.  

To do this, let's first make sure you have created an "Email Group" in Eloqua with the setting "Make this Email Group Available in Oracle Eloqua For Sales" enabled. 

Next, open up an Oracle Eloqua email and make sure the email is within the Email Group you have created.  Assuming you've built the email and added a Hyperlink, we'll want to right-click on the Hyperlink and edit the source code similar to the picture below:

Click " Edit Source" and add the code below:

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a style="letter-spacing: 0px;" href="InsertChiliPiperBookingLinkHere?id=<span class='eloquaemail'>EmailAddress</span>" data-targettype="webpage">
<font style="font-size: 20px;">Click to go to Calendar</font>
</a>
</div>

 

What we're doing here is appending the email address of the prospect to the Chili Piper link via field merge in Oracle Eloqua. This allows the prospect to book a meeting in 1-click; no form fill required.

Note: Smart Booking Links work with individual calendar URL's & Queue URL's. If your Queue uses the "Prioritize Based on Ownership" algorithm, then you're able to utilize 1 URL for all your Oracle Eloqua emails, which route the meeting to the respective Salesforce lead/contact/account owner using the Salesforce ownership rules you define. 

  Below features, an example calendar is included featuring one of our reps, Scott.

Where   https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/me/scott-haney  is the calendar link and   ?id=EmailAddressis the appended email parameter and Hyperlink text.

If we sent this email to our friend example@domain.com, an example output will be this  https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/me/scott-haney?id=example@domain.com

Once example@domain.com gets the email, they magically books a meeting with Scott in 1-click and receives a calendar invite; no form was filled, Scott receives notification that a meeting was booked, and all the details are logged directly into Salesforce.
