Marketing-Cloud-Administrator Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Administrator (SP23) Question and Answers

To ensure sensitive information needed for email sends is not imported and stored in Marketing Cloud, NTO should implement Tokenized Sending4. Tokenized Sending is a feature that allows NTO to send emails using encrypted tokens instead of actual email addresses. The tokens are generated by an external system and stored in a secure database outside of Marketing Cloud. When NTO sends an email, Marketing Cloud sends the token to the external system, which decrypts it and returns the actual email address. This way, NTO can avoid importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud. The other options are incorrect because:

• Transparent Data Encryption. This is a feature that encrypts data at rest in Marketing Cloud using encryption keys managed by Salesforce. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only protects it from unauthorized access5.
• Key Management. This is a feature that allows NTO to manage their own encryption keys for data at rest in Marketing Cloud using an external key management system. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only gives them more control over their encryption keys.
• Field Level Encryption. This is a feature that encrypts specific fields in data extensions using encryption keys managed by NTO. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only encrypts it within data extensions.

The option to convert a qualified Lead to a Contact is a functionality that is contained in Journey Builder but not in Automation Studio. This option allows marketers to create journeys that interact with Salesforce CRM data and automate lead conversion based on predefined criteria

 When setting up Distributed Marketing, the admin should consider the following:

• Default options can be set up for the greeting in the email2. This allows the admin to define how the email will address the recipient, such as by first name, last name, or salutation2.
• A journey can be connected to one or more Campaigns2. This allows the admin to associate a journey with a Salesforce object, such as an opportunity or a case, and trigger personalized messages based on the Campaign status2.
• Messages can be sent to Contacts, Leads, and Person Accounts2. These are the supported recipient types for Distributed Marketing messages2. The other options are incorrect because:
• Business users cannot select any email at the time of sending2. They can only select from the pre-approved emails that are configured by the admin in Marketing Cloud2.
• The DM administrator Profile is not required to access Distributed Marketing2. The admin can use any Profile that has the appropriate permissions and settings for Distributed Marketing

Creating a one-to-many relationship between Orders and Order_Details is the correct action, as each order can have multiple order details, but each order detail belongs to only one order. Creating a one-to-one relationship between Order_Details and Products is the correct action, as each order detail corresponds to only one product, and each product can be in only one order detail. Creating a one-to-one relationship between the contact record and Order Details is not correct, as each contact can have multiple order details, and each order detail can belong to different contacts. Creating a one-to-one relationship between Orders and Order_Details is not correct, as each order can have multiple order details.

Removing Marketing Cloud Channel Manager is the best way to update the user to allow the analyst the appropriate access. Marketing Cloud Channel Manager is a permission set that grants access to create, edit, and delete content across all channels. This permission set is not necessary for importing contact lists and may pose a security risk.

 The issue that the admin could be facing when entering the desired keyword CELEBRATION is that the keyword is used within another business unit. A keyword is a word or phrase that subscribers can use to interact with NTO via SMS messages, such as opting in or out of a text message program. A keyword can only be used by one business unit within Marketing Cloud, so if another business unit has already claimed CELEBRATION as their keyword, then it will be unavailable for other business units1. The other options are incorrect because:

• Keyword is a reserved word. This is not an issue that the admin could be facing when entering CELEBRATION as their keyword, as CELEBRATION is not a reserved word in Marketing Cloud. A reserved word is a word or phrase that has a special meaning or function in Marketing Cloud and cannot be used as a keyword by any business unit1. Some examples of reserved words are HELP, STOP, JOIN, and INFO1.
• Keyword has too many characters. This is not an issue that the admin could be facing when entering CELEBRATION as their keyword, as CELEBRATION does not have too many characters for a keyword. A keyword can have up to 15 characters in Marketing Cloud, and CELEBRATION has only 11 characters1.
• Keyword fails to meet content standards. This is not an issue that the admin could be facing when entering CELEBRATION as their keyword, as CELEBRATION does not fail to meet content standards for a keyword. Content standards are guidelines that NTO should follow when choosing a keyword to ensure that it is relevant, appropriate, and compliant with their industry and market regulations1. CELEBRATION does not violate any content standards for a keyword, as it is not offensive, misleading, or illegal.

Email Form Content Block is the feature that could be used to solicit website feedback without navigating away from the email. Email Form Content Block is a type of content block that allows marketers to create and insert forms within emails, such as surveys, polls, or feedback requests. Email Form Content Block can be customized with different fields, labels, buttons, and actions. Email Form Content Block can capture subscriber responses within the email without requiring them to visit a landing page or a website

 Marketing Cloud authenticates if the user has login hours enabled on their profile when they log in through the user interface3. Login hours are a security feature that allows the admin to specify the time range when users can access Marketing Cloud. If a user tries to log in outside of their login hours, they will be denied access3. The other options are incorrect because:

• If the user is assigned a role in the parent business unit. This is not a factor for authentication, but rather for authorization. A role determines what permissions and access levels a user has within Marketing Cloud, but it does not affect their ability to log in through the user interface4.
• If the user is logging in from a whitelisted IP address. This is not a factor for authentication, but rather for verification. An IP address whitelist is a list of trusted IP addresses that can access Marketing Cloud without additional verification. If a user logs in from an IP address that is not on the whitelist, they will be asked to verify their identity via email or SMS5.
• If the user is an API User on their record. This is not a factor for authentication, but rather for integration. An API User is a user who can access Marketing Cloud via API calls from external applications or systems. This does not affect their ability to log in through the user interface.

 Einstein Email Recommendations is a product that enables a Marketing Cloud admin to observe customer behavior, build performance profiles and deliver the next best content. This product uses predictive intelligence to recommend products or content based on each customer’s preferences and actions. The other products do not have this capability.

To ensure Individual Email Results are pushed back into Sales Cloud for a particular send, the admin should confirm that the data extension is located in the Salesforce Data Extensions folder. The Salesforce Data Extensions folder is a special folder that contains data extensions that are integrated with Salesforce CRM via Marketing Cloud Connect. Only data extensions in this folder can be used for sending emails with Individual Email Results tracking enabled. The other options are incorrect because:

• The send relationship links Subscriber Key to Subscribers on Email Address. This is a setting that defines how subscribers are identified and matched between a sendable data extension and All Subscribers. However, this setting does not affect whether Individual Email Results are pushed back into Sales Cloud; it only affects how email addresses and subscription statuses are updated in Marketing Cloud.
• The data extension is located in the Synchronized Data Extensions folder. The Synchronized Data Extensions folder is a special folder that contains data extensions that are synchronized from Salesforce CRM via Marketing Cloud Connect. However, these data extensions cannot be used for sending emails directly; they can only be used as sources for filtered or query-based data extensions.
• The triggered Send Data Extension data extension template was used. This is a predefined data extension template that contains a set of standard fields for logging triggered send data. However, this template does not affect whether Individual Email Results are pushed back into Sales Cloud; it only affects what information is stored in Marketing Cloud.

To copy journeys across business units, NTO should use Journey Templates1. Journey Templates are reusable journey structures that can be created and shared across business units. NTO can use Journey Templates to replicate journey structure so it can be easily recreated in another account. The other options are incorrect because:

• Deployment Manager. This is a tool that allows NTO to deploy assets and configurations across business units or accounts. However, this tool does not support journeys as an asset type, so it cannot be used to copy journeys across business units2.
• Journey Extracts. This is a feature that allows NTO to export journey data and metrics for reporting and analysis purposes. However, this feature does not allow NTO to copy or import journeys across business units; it only provides a snapshot of journey performance3.
• Copy activities. This is an option that allows NTO to copy individual activities within a journey and paste them in the same or another journey. However, this option does not allow NTO to copy the entire journey structure across business units; it only copies one activity at a time4.

Data extensions are necessary for Contact Builder is the statement that differentiates the use of data extensions over lists. Data extensions are tables that store subscriber data and can be linked to other data extensions or data sources via Contact Builder. Contact Builder is a tool that allows marketers to create a unified view of their contacts and manage their relationships with other data entities. Lists are collections of subscribers that cannot be linked to other data sources via Contact Builder.

To create and schedule a weekly report with high-level metrics, the Marketing Cloud admin should use Analytics Builder. Analytics Builder allows users to create, view, and share reports and dashboards. The Account Send Summary report shows how many emails were sent in a given time period

Data Management is where in Setup they could accomplish this task. Data Management is a section in Setup that allows marketers to manage their data sources, imports, exports, and transfers in Marketing Cloud. Data Management includes a subsection called FTP Accounts, where marketers can create and manage their SFTP users and passwords for secure file transfers.

Create separate folders and add permissions is how they should accomplish this. Folders are used to organize data extensions and other assets in Marketing Cloud. Permissions can be applied to folders to control which users can view or update the data extensions or assets within them. By creating separate folders for B2C and B2B campaigns and adding permissions accordingly, they can restrict access to data extensions based on user roles

QUESTIONNO: 95

Northern Trail Outfitters wants to know how customers are engaging with marketing communications they have sent over the last year. What action should be taken to populate the Einstein Engagement Scoring Dashboard?

A. Select one of the Predictive Algorithms then click Deploy

B. Click Deploy and results are available immediately

C. Select the channels (Emails, Push, SMS) to report on then click Activate

D. Click Activate and wait for an email notification

Answer: D

Click Activate and wait for an email notification is the action that should be taken to populate the Einstein Engagement Scoring Dashboard. Einstein Engagement Scoring is a feature that uses artificial intelligence to score subscribers based on their likelihood to open, click, or unsubscribe from emails. To activate this feature, users need to click the Activate button in the dashboard and wait for an email notification that confirms the activation and provides a link to view the scores.

 To search for a Salesforce contact in All Subscribers, the admin should use the 18-digit contact ID as the subscriber key. This is because Marketing Cloud Connect uses the 18-digit contact ID as the subscriber key for contacts synchronized from Salesforce. The email address is not a reliable identifier as it can change or be duplicated

To ensure users have access to Query Studio for Marketing Cloud, the admin should license all appropriate users within the installed package. Query Studio is an app that allows users to write and run SQL queries on data extensions within Marketing Cloud. To use Query Studio, users need to be licensed by the admin within the installed package settings. The admin can select which users or roles can access Query Studio and assign them a license. The other options are incorrect because:

• Choose Public App Integration during the installation. This option will not ensure users have access to Query Studio for Marketing Cloud, as it only affects how Query Studio connects to Marketing Cloud via API. Choosing Public App Integration means that Query Studio will use a single API user for all requests, while choosing Private App Integration means that Query Studio will use each user’s own API credentials for requests. However, this does not affect whether users can access Query Studio or not; they still need to be licensed by the admin within the installed package settings.
• Install App-appropriate business units for expanded access. This option will not ensure users have access to Query Studio for Marketing Cloud, as it only affects which business units can use Query Studio. Installing App-appropriate business units means that Query Studio will be available in all business units within an account, while installing App-specific business units means that Query Studio will be available only in selected business units. However, this does not affect whether users can access Query Studio or not; they still need to be licensed by the admin within the installed package settings.
• Configure the API Integration to allow all users access. This option will not ensure users have access to Query Studio for Marketing Cloud, as it only affects how Query Studio connects to Marketing Cloud via API. Configuring the API Integration means that the admin can set up the API user credentials and permissions for Query Studio. However, this does not affect whether users can access Query Studio or not; they still need to be licensed by the admin within the installed package settings.

To create and schedule a weekly report with high-level metrics, the Marketing Cloud admin should use Analytics Builder. Analytics Builder allows users to create, view, and share reports and dashboards. The Account Send Summary report shows how many emails were sent in a given time period.

Validate will check if words or phrases used may trigger spam filters, if correct syntax is used on any AMPScript in the email’s code, and if personalization strings map to attributes or data extension fields. A is incorrect because Validate will not check if each content area specified in a dynamic content rule exists. C is incorrect because Validate will not check grammar and spelling in the email text.

After a Contact Delete request has been processed for subscribers who have been sent an email previously, the following data would still exist in the account:

• Contact-specific data at the job level. This includes data such as open rate, click rate, bounce rate, and unsubscribe rate for each individual contact who received an email. This data is not deleted because it is used for reporting and analytics purposes.
• General tracking data at the job level. This includes data such as total number of sends, opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes for each email job. This data is not deleted because it is used for reporting and analytics purposes. The other options are incorrect because:
• Contact data in non-sendable data extensions. This includes data such as name, address, phone number, and other attributes for each contact. This data is deleted because it is not used for sending emails and it is considered personal information.
• Contact data in sendable data extensions. This includes data such as email address and subscriber key for each contact. This data is deleted because it is used for sending emails and it is considered personal information.

There are overlapping contacts in each of the channel is why the total contact count would be less than the total number of contacts from all data sources. Contacts are unique individuals who can be reached through one or more channels in Marketing Cloud, such as email, mobile, or social. Contacts are counted based on their Contact Key, which is a unique identifier for each contact. If a contact has multiple channels associated with them, such as email and mobile, they are only counted once in the total contact count. Therefore, if there are overlapping contacts in each of the channel, the total contact count would be less than the sum of contacts from all data sources

The recommended best practice for font usage in email is to use a web-safe font for text that closely matches the brand’s custom font. Web-safe fonts are fonts that are commonly available across different operating systems and email clients. Using a web-safe font ensures that the email text will be displayed consistently and legibly to the subscribers

To resolve the issue of the encrypted file being decrypted after the File Transfer Activity completes, the decrypted data would be in the original SFTP folder. The File Transfer Activity can be configured to decrypt an encrypted file using a decryption key provided by NTO. The decrypted file will be placed in the same location as the encrypted file on the SFTP site. The other options are incorrect because:

• Selected SFTP folder. This is not where the decrypted data would be after the File Transfer Activity completes, as the File Transfer Activity does not allow NTO to select a different SFTP folder for the decrypted file. The decrypted file will be placed in the same location as the encrypted file on the SFTP site.
• Target Data Extension. This is not where the decrypted data would be after the File Transfer Activity completes, as the File Transfer Activity does not import data into a data extension. The File Transfer Activity only moves files from one location to another, such as from an FTP site to the Safehouse or from the Safehouse to a data extension. To import data into a data extension, NTO needs to use an Import File Activity.
• Safehouse. This is not where the decrypted data would be after the File Transfer Activity completes, as the File Transfer Activity does not move files to the Safehouse when decrypting them. The File Transfer Activity only moves files to the Safehouse when encrypting them or when transferring them from an external FTP site to Marketing Cloud. The Safehouse is a temporary storage location within Marketing Cloud that can be used for staging files before importing them into a data extension.

To add a set of four tracking parameters automatically to all the links in an email sent via Email Studio, the admin should suggest using the Web Analytics Connector1. The Web Analytics Connector is a feature that allows NTO to append Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) variables or other custom parameters to the links in their emails. The Web Analytics Connector can be configured at the account, business unit, or send level, and can support up to four parameters per link1.

 Re-entry at any time, no re-entry, and re-entry only after exiting are the options that determine when a contact could enter a journey. These options are available in the journey settings and control how often a contact can enter the same journey based on their previous entry or exit status. Re-entry by attribute and re-entry by date are not valid options for journey re-entry.

 To create an audience based on complex criteria such as engagement and location, NTO should use SQL Queries5. SQL Queries allow NTO to write custom queries that can join data from different data extensions and filter based on various conditions5. Measures are used to define engagement metrics such as opens and clicks, but they cannot be used to filter by location or combine with other criteria5. Data Filters are used to filter data based on simple criteria such as attributes or measures, but they cannot be used to join data from different sources or filter by location5. Journey is used to create personalized customer journeys based on triggers and activities, but it is not a tool for creating audiences5.

Parameter Manager is the functionality that would allow this. Parameter Manager is a feature that enables marketers to automatically append tracking parameters to links in emails, such as UTM variables. Parameter Manager can be configured at the account, email, or link level

 Administrator and Marketing Cloud Administrator are two standard roles that should be selected for the new user. Administrator is a standard role that grants full access to all features and functions in Marketing Cloud, such as creating and managing users, roles, permissions, business units, and security settings. Marketing Cloud Administrator is a standard role that grants access to all features and functions in Marketing Cloud except for user management. By selecting both roles, the new user will have full administrator permissions in Marketing Cloud

When “Send as Multipart MIME” is selected during the send process, an auto-generated text version will be sent with the HTML email and open and click activity will be tracked in either version. This option helps to ensure that subscribers can view the email regardless of their email client or device preferences

Data Extension, Audience Studio, API Event, Date Based Event are entry source types for Journey Builder. Entry source types are types of events or data sources that can trigger contacts to enter a journey in Journey Builder. Data Extension is an entry source type that allows contacts from a data extension to enter a journey based on a schedule or an automation. Audience Studio is an entry source type that allows contacts from Audience Studio segments to enter a journey based on a schedule or an automation. API Event is an entry source type that allows contacts to enter a journey based on an API call from an external system or application. Date Based Event is an entry source type that allows contacts from a data extension to enter a journey based on a date field in the data extension, such as birthday or anniversary.

SQL Query Activities can reference Send Logs in combination with system data views and a business unit can support up to three Send Logs. These statements are correct about Send Logging, which is a feature that allows marketers to capture additional information about email sends that are not available in standard reports or data view

From Address Management is where a Marketing Cloud admin can view all verified email addresses. This feature allows you to manage sender authentication for your email sends by verifying your from addresses and domains.

Data extensions allow storing multiple values for an attribute for each subscriber. Profile attributes only store one value per attribute per subscriber.

To comply with CAN-SPAM regulations for each commercial send, the admin should ensure that their emails contain a preference center link and a physical mailing address1. A preference center link is a link that allows subscribers to manage their subscription preferences and opt out of receiving future emails from NTO. A physical mailing address is an address that identifies NTO’s location and contact information. These elements are required by CAN-SPAM for any email that promotes a commercial product or service1. The other options are incorrect because:

• Business name and a link to the business website. These elements are not required by CAN-SPAM for each commercial send, although they may be useful for branding and marketing purposes. CAN-SPAM only requires that NTO clearly identifies themselves as the sender of the email and provides a valid reply-to address1.
• Business name and physical mailing address. These elements are partially correct, as CAN-SPAM requires NTO to include their business name and physical mailing address in each commercial send1. However, they are not sufficient, as CAN-SPAM also requires NTO to include a preference center link or another easy way for subscribers to opt out of receiving future emails1.
• Preference center link and a link to the business website. These elements are partially correct, as CAN-SPAM requires NTO to include a preference center link or another easy way for subscribers to opt out of receiving future emails in each commercial send1. However, they are not sufficient, as CAN-SPAM also requires NTO to include their physical mailing address in each commercial send1.

 Lifetime Purchase Value, Conversion Rate, and Last Purchase Date are three criteria that the customer should use to create an audience for this campaign. These criteria help to identify the highest-value outdoor sports customers who are most likely to respond to the product discount

Importing a file of logged-in customers into NTO’s existing Abandoned Cart journey in Journey Builder is the best action to take. This way, NTO can leverage the existing journey logic and content to send personalized emails to the customers who had their shopping sessions disrupted. The emails can include the items they left in their cart and a link to resume their shopping. Creating a user-initiated message or an apology email are not as effective as using Journey Builder, which allows creating more engaging and relevant customer experiences. Doing nothing is not a good option, as it may result in losing potential sales and customer loyalty.

The part of deliverability that is tied to hitting spam traps during a send is list hygiene. List hygiene is the process of maintaining clean and accurate subscriber lists by removing invalid, inactive, or unengaged subscribers

Smart Capture is the feature that should be used to create a survey form. Smart Capture is a feature that allows marketers to create and insert forms within landing pages or emails, such as surveys, polls, or feedback requests. Smart Capture can be customized with different fields, labels, buttons, and actions. Smart Capture can capture subscriber responses and store them in a data extension or update existing records in Marketing Cloud.

Marketing Cloud Email Marketing Manager and Marketing Cloud Regional or Local Administrator are two roles, custom or standard, that could be assigned to this user to meet the requirement. Marketing Cloud Email Marketing Manager is a standard role that grants access to Email Studio and its features, such as creating and sending emails, managing subscribers, and tracking email performance. Marketing Cloud Regional or Local Administrator is a custom role that grants access to all business units within a specific region or location, such as North America

 Impression Tracking for Triggered Sends is the report that should be used. Impression Tracking for Triggered Sends is a feature that allows marketers to track how subscribers interact with content areas within triggered emails. Impression Tracking for Triggered Sends can be enabled for any content area that uses AMPscript or dynamic content blocks. The report shows metrics such as impressions, unique impressions, clicks, and click rate for each content area

Advertising Studio supports lookalike audiences directly from Facebook only. For other networks, such as Google and Twitter, Advertising Studio can create audience segments based on Marketing Cloud data and export them to the network’s platform, where the lookalike audience can be created manually.

Purchasing a new private domain for use in CloudPages allows the admin to use a customized domain name for CloudPages, such as de-special.ntomarketing.com. This domain can be different from the SAP domain, which is used for email branding and deliverability. The other options are not feasible or correct.

 When a Contact Delete request is processed, the contact data in sendable data extensions and the contact-specific data at the job level are deleted. However, the contact data in non-sendable data extensions and the general tracking data at the job level are retained

IP Allowlist is the feature that NTO should enable to assist in reducing threats from malicious API attacks. IP Allowlist is a feature that restricts API access to Marketing Cloud from a specific set of IP addresses. By creating an IP Allowlist, NTO can ensure that only authorized users or applications can access their Marketing Cloud account via API
