Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) wants to create a relevant audience from a data extension for a daily send campaign. The audience will change from day-to-day. These emails contain a View As Web Page link and NTO wants to ensure this will not be broken when the audience is refreshed daily.
What should be used to segment this audience?
Answer : B
Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) wants to implement an abandon cart journey. The data for the journey exists in three separate data extensions (DE).
* The first DE is populated by web analytics data, and does not contain a Subscriber Key or Email Address value.
* A Customer Reference DE is updated daily and holds subscriber information.
* The third DE is populated by a file sent to the SFTP after five days If the customer has not purchased the abandoned items.
* The third DE will be used in the journey for a decision split, and it does not contain a Subscriber Key or Email Address.
* If the web analytics file is empty, NTO does not want the automation to finish running.
Which order of activities should be used to fulfill this requirement?
Answer : B
Northern Trails Outfitters has a contact count of nearly 10 million records. They have noticed slower processing times when sending using Journey Builder.
Which two actions could they take to optimize Journey performance? (Choose 2 answers)
Answer : A, D
Performing large-scale segmentation in Automation Studio before admitting contacts into Journey Builder can help reduce the amount of contacts admitted into the journey, thereby increasing the performance of the journey.
Creating prefiltered, sendable copies of data extensions for each journey instead of using the same entry source can also help optimize journey performance as it reduces the number of contacts that have to be processed for each journey. This can help with performance as the data extension is already filtered and therefore the journey has to do less work in terms of filtering the participants.
