Question 1

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) is launching a new campaign that will collect subscriber information to better target and segment its marketing communciations. NTO wants to target users of its app and social platforms who have not engaged with previous emails in the campaign. If the subscriber opens or clicks after three messages, they will be removed from the campaign.

Which solution should the consultant implement?



Answer : D

The best solution for NTO's campaign is to use a Multi-Step journey with a Data Extension/Automation entry source. This setup allows for the segmentation and targeting of the specific subscribers as per the campaign requirements. Subscribers who have not engaged with previous emails can be identified and targeted. The journey can be configured to monitor open or click activities, and if a subscriber interacts after three messages, they can be automatically removed from the campaign. This approach provides a dynamic and automated way to manage the campaign's lifecycle based on subscriber behavior.

Question 2

Northern Trail Outfitters in interested in a solution to automate a process. They currently pull data into a spreadsheet to import into a extension for sending. The data warehouse can be configured to place a file daily on an SFTP.

Which three questions are relevant to determining a solution?

Choose 3 answers



Answer : A, D, E

Three questions that are relevant to determining a solution for automating a process of importing data from a data warehouse into Marketing Cloud are:

Is the data file a delta or a historical file? This question will help determine how to handle existing records and avoid duplication or overwrite. A delta file contains only new or updated records, while a historical file contains all records regardless of changes.

Will the data file be placed on the SFTP at the same time daily? This question will help determine how to schedule an automation or trigger an event based on file drop. If the data file is placed on the SFTP at different times, then a File Drop Automation may be more suitable than a Scheduled Automation.

Does someone need to be notified if an error happens on import? This question will help determine how to handle errors and exceptions during import. If someone needs to be notified, then an email notification activity or a verification activity may be added to the automation.

Whether the data extension has a data relationship or not is not relevant to determining a solution for importing data, as it is only used for creating relationships between data extensions in Email Studio. Whether the file has more than 5,000 rows or not is not relevant to determining a solution for importing data, as it does not affect how data is imported or processed.

Question 3

Northern Trail Outfitters and its subsidiaries use Sales Cloud and marketing Cloud to send customers frequent email communications of new products and updates on their portfolios. They have noticed the messages and branding being sent varies greatly and would like to create a better customer experience.

What extension product should be considered to unify the messaging and branding of these communications while still allowing personalization and timing of campaigns?



Answer : B

To unify the messaging and branding of communications while still allowing personalization and timing of campaigns, Northern Trail Outfitters and its subsidiaries should use Distributed Marketing. Distributed Marketing is a tool that allows marketers to create consistent and compliant messages in Marketing Cloud and distribute them to Sales Cloud or Service Cloud users for sending. Distributed Marketing allows Sales Cloud or Service Cloud users to personalize and schedule messages based on their customer interactions and preferences.

Question 4

A new Marketing Cloud (MC) customer wants to now implement a Sales Cloud instance to go along with their MC Instance. The MC has been live for a year now, where the primary key for records has been the Email Address.

Which two options would prevent the customer from duplicating records? Choose 2 answers



Answer : B, C

Two options that would prevent the customer from duplicating records when implementing a Sales Cloud instance are:

Get existing records updated with new Keys sourced from Sales Cloud instance. This option will allow the customer to update their existing records in Marketing Cloud with new keys that match their Sales Cloud records, such as Contact ID or Lead ID. This will ensure data consistency and avoid duplication across both systems.

Continue as normal, as Marketing Cloud Contact Models will dedupe keys by Email Address. This option will allow the customer to continue using Email Address as their primary key in Marketing Cloud, and rely on Marketing Cloud Contact Models to dedupe keys by Email Address when syncing data from Sales Cloud. This will ensure data accuracy and avoid duplication within Marketing Cloud.

Uploading CSV with Migrated Subscriber Keys to All Subscribers will not prevent duplication, as it will create new records in Marketing Cloud with different keys than the existing records. Purging the current records and carrying on with new keys sourced from Sales Cloud will result in data loss and potential compliance issues.

Question 5

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) imports a file daily into Marketing Cloud of customers who have bought a tent from their website. They want to set up month-long welcome Journey which sends emails specific to the purchase such as the type of tent, they average accessories for the tent, and care of the tent at different points throughout the Journey. NTO also reorganizes that due to their .. princes, they have had customers purchase more than one tent within a month.

What type of data should be used in the Decision Splits in their Journey to make sure the choices reflect the correct tent?



Answer : D

To make sure the decision splits reflect the correct tent for each customer, Northern Trail Outfitters should use Entry Data as the type of data in the decision splits. Entry Data is the data that is captured at the time of entry into a journey and remains static throughout the journey. Entry Data can include data from data extensions, Salesforce objects, or API events. Using Entry Data will ensure that the decision splits are based on the tent that each customer bought at the time of entry, and not affected by any subsequent purchases or data changes.

Question 6

Northern Trail Outfitters uses a Salesforce Data Entry Source in their Journey that injects Salesforce Order when they are either create update with a status of New, Currently Knitting, Shipped, and Complete. Their Journey works when orders are created, but they noticed it does not injected customers when their status is updated.

What could be causing this?



Answer : D

The reason why the Journey does not inject customers when their order status is updated is that orders are not being updated from not meeting criteria to meeting criteria. A Salesforce Data Entry Source only injects records into a journey when they change from not meeting the entry criteria to meeting the entry criteria. For example, if the entry criteria is order status equals New, then only orders that change from a different status to New will be injected into the journey. Orders that are created with a status of New or change from New to another status will not be injected into the journey.

Question 7

An analytics team wants to get real-time updates on transactional email metrics, specifically Sent and Not Sent, to ensure they are fulfilling a legal obligation due to the nature of their messages.



Answer : C

To get real-time updates on transactional email metrics, such as Sent and Not Sent, Northern Trail Outfitters should use Event Notification Service. Event Notification Service is a feature that allows marketers to receive real-time notifications of email tracking events via webhooks or APIs. Event Notification Service can help marketers monitor and troubleshoot transactional email sends and ensure compliance with legal obligations.
