QuestionQ3

Subscriber and Data Management

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) needs to create a sendable data extension containing customer information. NTO customers are identified by a unique alphanumeric Customer ID, and Email Address is a required field.

How should the data extension be configured?

  • A Customer ID is Primary Key and relates to Subscriber ID
  • B Email Address is Primary Key and relates to Subscriber Key
  • C Customer ID is Primary Key and relates to Subscriber Key
  • D Email Address is Primary Key and relates to Subscriber ID
Explanation

A unique alphanumeric Customer ID is the appropriate primary key and can serve as the subscriber identifier. A sendable data extension should relate that identifier to the Subscribers table’s Subscriber Key; Email Address remains required to provide the email destination. Salesforce documents Subscriber Key as the text value that uniquely identifies a subscriber and permits text fields to be related to Subscriber Key.

QuestionQ4

Content Creation and Delivery

Northern Trail Outfitters has enabled Content Builder Approvals. An email has been approved and scheduled, but an error that the approver missed is discovered.

What action should be taken to prevent the email from being sent?

  • A Cancel the scheduled send
  • B Refresh the email before it is sent
  • C Withdraw approval of the email
  • D Make needed change to the email
Explanation

A scheduled Marketing Cloud Engagement email send is a snapshot of the email when the send is scheduled. Changes to the email, including withdrawing approval, do not change that job; canceling the scheduled send prevents it from being delivered.

QuestionQ5

Tracking and Reporting

Northern Trail Outfitters uses link aliases in the HTML versions of its emails to identify where clicks occurred, even when the same URL appears multiple times in a send. A marketing employee has been asked to retrieve the email addresses of every customer who clicked the link associated with Main Banner Top in the most recent newsletter.

Where should the marketer locate this information?

  • A Tracking Click Activity tab > Link View
  • B Tracking Job Links tab > URL ID
  • C Tracking Overview tab > Clicks
  • D Tracking Click Activity tab > Email Overlay View
Explanation

Email Studio’s Tracking Click Activity tab in Link View lists tracked links by link alias. Selecting the Main Banner Top link exposes the subscriber click activity needed to obtain the email addresses of customers who clicked it.
