Exposing your campaign management to the web

You may wish to link your contacts from another application (Siebel, SalesForce, other CRMs)

Basically the architecture steps are:

1)Creating an infrastructure in C# or PHP such that a link can be made /somesite/linktoyourmanagecampaign{Contact I}

2)Campaigns you care about can be stored in a configuration file XML with a structure similar to:

<CampaignDefinition>

    <Title>Campaign Title that matches name in Eloqua</Title>

    <Description>Some description of the campaign</Description>

    <AddSharedList>Campaign Title - Participate</AddSharedList>

    <DeleteSharedList>Campaign Title - Remove</DeleteSharedList> 

</CampaignDefinition>

3) The link in #1 presents a list of campaigns, and allows add/delete of contact to the various shared lists

In this way anyone can add or remove contacts to a given campaign

4) Also , you might want to report on the web this sort of activity via another web page
