Changed Salesforce-Data-Cloud Exam Questions

 Engagement-based related attributes are attributes that describe the interactions of a person with an email message, such as opens, clicks, unsubscribes, etc. These attributes are stored in the Engagement data model object (DMO) and can be added to an activation to send more personalized communications. However, there are some considerations and limitations when using engagement-based related attributes, such as:

For engagement data, activation supports a 90-day lookback window. This means that only the attributes from the engagement events that occurred within the last 90 days are considered for activation. Any records outside of this window are not included in the activation payload. Therefore, the consultant should review the event time of the related engagement events and make sure they are within the lookback window.

The correct path to the related attributes must be selected for the activation. A path is a sequence of DMOs that are connected by relationships in the data model. For example, the path from Individual to Engagement is Individual -> Email -> Engagement. The path determines which related attributes are available for activation and how they are filtered. Therefore, the consultant should review the path selection and make sure it matches the desired related attributes and filters.

The other two options are not relevant for this issue. The activations can reference segments that segment on profile data rather than engagement data, as long as the activation target supports related attributes. The activated profiles do not need to have a Unified Contact Point, which is a unique identifier for a person across different data sources, to activate engagement-based related attributes. References: Add Related Attributes to an Activation, Related Attributes in Data Cloud activation have no values, Explore the Engagement Data Model Object

To meet the requirement of being proactively and immediately informed via Slack and email if any data streams fail, and to trigger a case as part of the support process, the best solution is to use Salesforce Flows . Here’s why and how this works:

Understanding the Requirements :

The admin wants to be notified immediately via Slack and email when a data stream fails.

A case should also be created automatically to reflect the issue in the global monitoring dashboard.

This requires an automated process that integrates with both internal systems (e.g., Slack, email) and external workflows (e.g., case creation).

Why Salesforce Flows?

Salesforce Flows are highly flexible and can automate complex business processes. They can monitor system events (e.g., data stream failures) and trigger actions like sending notifications or creating records.

Flows can integrate seamlessly with Slack and email using platform events and action elements.

They can also create cases programmatically and update dashboards for real-time monitoring.

Steps to Implement This Solution :

Step 1: Navigate to Setup > Process Automation > Flows and create a new flow.

Step 2: Configure a Platform Event Trigger or Record-Triggered Flow to listen for data stream failure events.

Step 3: Add an action element to send a notification to Slack using the Slack Integration feature.

Step 4: Add another action element to send an email alert using the Send Email action.

Step 5: Add a step to create a Case record with details about the failure. Use predefined fields to populate relevant information (e.g., error message, timestamp).

Step 6: Update the global monitoring dashboard to reflect the newly created case. This can be done by linking the case to a report or dashboard component.

Why Not Other Options?

A. Data actions: While data actions can perform specific tasks on data, they are not designed for cross-system automation like sending Slack notifications or creating cases.

B. Data Cloud Query Editor: The Query Editor is used for querying and analyzing data but does not provide automation capabilities for notifications or case creation.

D. Salesforce reports and dashboards: Reports and dashboards are for visualizing data, not for triggering actions or automating workflows.

By using Salesforce Flows, NTO can achieve a fully automated and integrated solution that meets all the stated requirements.

When activating to Amazon S3, the information that is provided in a .csv file is the activated data payload. The activated data payload is the data that is sent from Data Cloud to the activation target, which in this case is an Amazon S3 bucket1. The activated data payload contains the attributes and values of the individuals or entities that are included in the segment that is being activated2. The activated data payload can be used for various purposes, such as marketing, sales, service, or analytics3. The other options are incorrect because they are not provided in a .csv file when activating to Amazon S3. Option A is incorrect because an audit log is not provided in a .csv file, but it can be viewed in the Data Cloud UI under the Activation History tab4. Option C is incorrect because the metadata regarding the segment definition is not provided in a .csv file, but it can be viewed in the Data Cloud UI under the Segmentation tab5. Option D is incorrect because the manifest of origin sources within Data Cloud is not provided in a .csv file, but it can be viewed in the Data Cloud UI under the Data Sources tab. References: Data Activation Overview, Create and Activate Segments in Data Cloud, Data Activation Use Cases, View Activation History, Segmentation Overview, [Data Sources Overview]
