During discovery, which feature should a consultant highlight for a customer who has multiple data sources and needs to match and reconcile data about individuals into a single unified profile?
Correct Answer:
D
Identity resolution is the feature that allows Data Cloud to match and reconcile data about individuals from multiple data sources into a single unified profile. Identity resolution uses rulesets to define how source profiles are matched and consolidated based on common attributes, such as name, email, phone, or party identifier. Identity resolution enables Data Cloud to create a 360-degree view of each customer across different data sources and systems12. The other options are not the best features to highlight for this customer need because:
✑ A. Data cleansing is the process of detecting and correcting errors or inconsistencies in data, such as duplicates, missing values, or invalid formats. Data cleansing can improve the quality and accuracy of data, but it does not match or reconcile data across different data sources3.
✑ B. Harmonization is the process of standardizing and transforming data from different sources into a common format and structure. Harmonization can enable data integration and interoperability, but it does not match or reconcile data across different data sources4.
✑ C. Data consolidation is the process of combining data from different sources into a single data set or system. Data consolidation can reduce data redundancy and complexity, but it does not match or reconcile data across different data sources5.

A consultant has an activation that is set to publish every 12 hours, but has discovered that updates to the data prior to activation are delayed by up to 24 hours.
Which two areas should a consultant review to troubleshoot this issue? Choose 2 answers
Correct Answer:
BC
The correct answer is B and C because calculated insights and segments are both dependent on the data ingestion process. Calculated insights are derived from the data model objects and segments are subsets of data model objects that meet certain criteria. Therefore, both of them need to be updated after the data is ingested to reflect the latest changes. Data transformations are optional steps that can be applied to the data streams before they are mapped to the data model objects, so they are not relevant to the issue. Reviewing calculated insights to make sure they’re run after the segments are refreshed (option D) is also incorrect because calculated insights are independent of segments and do not need to be refreshed after them.

A customer needs to integrate in real time with Salesforce CRM. Which feature accomplishes this requirement?
Correct Answer:
A
The correct answer is A. Streaming transforms. Streaming transforms are a feature of Data Cloud that allows real-time data integration with Salesforce CRM. Streaming transforms use the Data Cloud Streaming API to synchronize micro- batches of updates between the CRM data source and Data Cloud in near-real time1. Streaming transforms enable Data Cloud to have the most current and accurate CRM data for segmentation and activation2.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
✑ B. Data model triggers. Data model triggers are a feature of Data Cloud that allows custom logic to be executed when data model objects are created, updated, or deleted3. Data model triggers do not integrate data with Salesforce CRM, but rather manipulate data within Data Cloud.
✑ C. Sales and Service bundle. Sales and Service bundle is a feature of Data Cloud that allows pre-built data streams, data model objects, segments, and activations for Sales Cloud and Service Cloud data sources4. Sales and Service bundle does not integrate data in real time with Salesforce CRM, but rather ingests data at scheduled intervals.
✑ D. Data actions and Lightning web components. Data actions and Lightning web components are features of Data Cloud that allow custom user interfaces and workflows to be built and embedded in Salesforce applications5. Data actions and Lightning web components do not integrate data with Salesforce CRM, but rather display and interact with data within Salesforce applications.

A consultant is reviewing a recent activation using engagement-based related attributes but is not seeing any related attributes in their payload for the majority of their segment members.
Which two areas should the consultant review to help troubleshoot this issue? Choose 2 answers
Correct Answer:
AC
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.

Northern Trail Outfitters wants to use some of its Marketing Cloud data in Data Cloud. Which engagement channel data will require custom integration?
Correct Answer:
C
CloudPage is a web page that can be personalized and hosted by Marketing Cloud. It is not one of the standard engagement channels that Data Cloud supports out of the box. To use CloudPage data in Data Cloud, a custom integration is required. The other engagement channels (SMS, email, and mobile push) are supported by Data Cloud and can be integrated using the Marketing Cloud Connector or the Marketing Cloud API.
