Congratulations, your automated integration between CRM and Eloqua is up and running! Though you can be confident that your automated integration is reliable, you should configure a few Error Notifications for peace of mind.
Let's start with the basics...
Click Setup --> Integration --> then click the Configuration Tab on the upper left hand corner of your screen. Once in the Configuration area, select Manage Error Notifications and you'll arrive at the Integration Error Notifications area.
Since we are working on Error Notifications for your integration, the Email Address you enter here should be for your Eloqua Admin - the person who understands and manages your Integration.
You can adjust the frequency of these notifications by selecting a time frame from the Send Notification Email drop down menu. Since these are Error Notifications and will most likely require timely attention, a time frame of Every Day or even less would be appropriate.
If one, or more, of your Auto Syncs are disabled for whatever reason, a check in the Send Disabled Auto Sync Notification box will mean that the Email Address entered will receive notification of this fact at the frequency you've selected. The same goes for Send Disabled Internal/External Queue Notifications.
Chances are that you'll want a little bit more information from Eloqua, beyond this basic configuration. So, let's focus our attention on the lower half of the Integration Error Notifications area and add some specific Error Notifications.
Eloqua uses External Calls to communicate with CRM. In this area, you configure additional Error Notifications by selecting a particular External Call from the External Calls menu and an Error from the Error drop down menu. Here's the complete list of External Calls and Errors.

Everything we've talked about to this point relates to Eloqua pushing information into CRM. But, that's just one half of your integration - Eloqua also pulls information from your CRM via Auto Syncs. Though you may have checked the box for Send Disabled Auto Sync Notification in the Integration Error Notification area, you can go a step further by configuring each Auto Sync to send a Notification email.
To do this, click Setup --> Integration --> then click the Inbound tab on the upper left hand corner of your screen. Within the Inbound Tab, select Auto Syncs from the Management drop down menu and you'll see a list of your Auto Syncs.
Click on any of the Auto Syncs listed to see its details. Click Edit next to the Auto Sync Details header.
And enter the appropriate email address within the Email field. Rinse and repeat for other Auto Syncs.
