Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) uses data extensions for all of their email audiences. A customer reports they unsubscribed several week-end ago, but continue to receive NTO's daily digest at their old address. NTO's Marketing cloud Admin has confidently deleted them from present in the appropriate data extension. What consideration could account for this behavior?


A. Data retention settings were incorrect in the data extension.


B. The email address in All Subscribers is prioritized.


C. Contact Builder was not configured properly.


D. The data extension was not configured as sendable.





B.
  The email address in All Subscribers is prioritized.

Explanation:

The reason why the customer continues to receive NTO’s daily digest at their old address is because the email address in All Subscribers is prioritized. All Subscribers is the master list of subscribers in Marketing Cloud that stores their email address and subscription status. When NTO sends an email to a data extension, Marketing Cloud checks if the subscriber exists in All Subscribers and uses their email address and status from there. Therefore, deleting the customer from the data extension does not affect their subscription status or email address in All Subscribers. NTO’s Marketing Cloud Admin should update or delete the customer from All Subscribers instead. The other options are incorrect because:

Data retention settings were incorrect in the data extension. Data retention settings determine how long records are kept in a data extension before they are deleted or archived. However, this does not affect the subscription status or email address of subscribers in All Subscribers. Contact Builder was not configured properly. Contact Builder is a tool that allows NTO to manage their contacts and their attributes across different data sources. However, this does not affect the subscription status or email address of subscribers in All Subscribers.

The data extension was not configured as sendable. A sendable data extension is one that has an email address field and a subscriber key field that can be used for sending emails. However, this does not affect the subscription status or email address of subscribers in All Subscribers.

A.
  IP ramp -up takes four to six weeks to be able to fully send to all 3 million customers.

D.
  IP ramp -up is important to establish a positive sender reputation.

Explanation:

IP ramp-up takes four to six weeks to be able to fully send to all 3 million customers and IP ramp-up is important to establish a positive sender reputation.

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO)hired a new Marketing Cloud admin, who was told all emails come from info@email.nto.com. the previous admin did not leave any documentation. Which aspects would confirm a Sender Authentication Package (SAP) has been set up on the account? 2 answers

A.
  Upon receiving an email, all tracked links start with click.email.nto.com

C.
  Cloudpages personalized URLs are served from cloud.email.nto.com

Explanation:

The aspects that would confirm that SAP has been set up on NTO’s account are:

Upon receiving an email, all tracked links start with click.email.nto.com. This indicates that NTO has configured their SAP with their own domain name (email.nto.com) and subdomain name (click) for link tracking.

Cloudpages personalized URLs are served from cloud.email.nto.com. This indicates that NTO has configured their SAP with their own domain name (email.nto.com) and subdomain name (cloud) for Cloudpages. The other options are incorrect because:

The login page for Marketing Cloud Users is login.email.nto.com and is branded with NTO colors. This does not indicate that SAP has been set up, but rather that NTO has configured their own private domain for Marketing Cloud login. This is a separate feature from SAP and does not require SAP to be enabled.

Users receive Marketing Cloud password reset emails from help@email nto.com. This does not indicate that SAP has been set up, but rather that NTO has configured their own sender address for Marketing Cloud system emails. This is a separate feature from SAP and does not require SAP to be enabled.

A. Each user should have a one-to-one relationship between the Marketing Cloud user and the Sales Cloud user.


B. The consultant should enable deep linking in Marketing Cloud Connect configuration.


C. The consultant should enable the Create Email feature on the user Profile in the Sales Cloud.


D. Each Sales Cloud user should have a System Administrator Profile and a Role at the top of the Role Hierarchy.





A.
  Each user should have a one-to-one relationship between the Marketing Cloud user and the Sales Cloud user.

C.
  The consultant should enable the Create Email feature on the user Profile in the Sales Cloud.

Explanation:

Each user should have a one-to-one relationship between Marketing Cloud and Sales Cloud to send emails from Sales Cloud, and the Create Email feature should be enabled on the user profile to allow users to create emails in Sales Cloud. B is incorrect because deep linking is not related to creating and sending emails from Sales Cloud. D is incorrect because Sales Cloud users do not need to have System Administrator Profile and a Role at the top of the Role Hierarchy to send emails from Sales Cloud.

Northern Trail Outfitters is preparing to send a promotional email. The audience file was loaded into a data extension but does not display for Marketing Cloud admin scheduling the send. What should the admin confirm to resolve the issue?


A. The data extension is marked as Sendable


B. The data extension contains a Salesforce ID


C. The Data extension is marked as Sendable and Testable


D. The data extension is linked using the Contact Key





A.
  The data extension is marked as Sendable

Explanation:

To resolve the issue of not being able to see the audience file in the data extension when scheduling the send, the admin should confirm that the data extension is marked as Sendable. A sendable data extension is one that has an email address field and a subscriber key field that can be used for sending emails. If the data extension is not marked as sendable, it will not appear as an option when selecting an audience for an email send. The other options are incorrect because:

The data extension contains a Salesforce ID. This is not a requirement for sending emails from a data extension. A Salesforce ID is only needed if NTO wants to use Marketing Cloud Connect to sync data between Marketing Cloud and Salesforce CRM.

The Data extension is marked as Sendable and Testable. This is not a valid option for marking a data extension. A data extension can only be marked as sendable or non-sendable; there is no testable option.

The data extension is linked using the Contact Key. This is not a requirement for sending emails from a data extension. The Contact Key is only needed if NTO wants to use Contact Builder to link data across different sources and channels.

A Marketing Cloud admin wants to create a suppression list for hard-bounced email addresses Where could the details be found?


A. Run a Bounce Email Report


B. Query the Bounce Data View


C. Query the Send Log


D. Run an Account Send Summary Report





B.
  Query the Bounce Data View

Explanation:

To create a suppression list for hard-bounced email addresses, the Marketing Cloud admin should query the Bounce Data View. The Bounce Data View is a system data view that stores information about bounced emails, such as the subscriber key, email address, bounce category, bounce type, and bounce reason. The admin can use SQL queries to filter the records in the Bounce Data View based on the bounce category or type and create a suppression list from the results. The other options are incorrect because:

Run a Bounce Email Report. This is a standard report that shows the number and percentage of bounced emails by category and type for a specific time period or email job. However, this report does not provide the details of the bounced email addresses, which are needed to create a suppression list.

Query the Send Log. The Send Log is a custom data extension that stores information about sent emails, such as the subscriber key, email name, subject line, send date, and any additional attributes. However, this data extension does not store information about bounced emails, which are needed to create a suppression list.

Run an Account Send Summary Report. This is a standard report that shows the summary of email sends across an account or a business unit for a specific time period. However, this report does not provide the details of the bounced email addresses, which are needed to create a suppression list.

A.
  A Assign a role to the business unit
