Oracle Eloqua 26C adds enhanced email auto-click detection

Oracle's documentation for Eloqua update 26C, published July 8, 2026, introduces enhanced email auto-click detection in controlled availability. Oracle says the enhanced model evaluates multiple characteristics of a click sequence to detect a broader range of automated click patterns while also reducing false click activity caused by rapid double-clicks. To opt in, customers had to log a service request by August 7, 2026, and Oracle planned to enable the feature for those customers during the week of August 31, 2026. Oracle positions the change as producing cleaner engagement data for marketing decisions.

The details

• The model evaluates several characteristics of a click sequence rather than a single signal.
• It is designed to reduce false clicks from rapid double-click behavior.
• Opt-in required a service request submitted by August 7, 2026.
• Enablement was planned for the week of August 31, 2026.
• More detail is available in Oracle's on-demand Eloqua 26C Customer Briefing.
