Salesforce Marketing-Cloud-Administrator Based on Real Exam Environment

The best way to prevent duplicate records in Marketing Cloud is to strategically control the Contact Key values and tie records together across channels using this key. The Contact Key is a unique identifier for each contact in Marketing Cloud, and it can be set by the admin or automatically generated by Marketing Cloud. If the same Contact Key is used for a contact in both email and mobile push channels, then the contact will be unified and not duplicated.

 Join is the activity that would allow NTO to build the journey with the fewest activities possible. Join allows you to combine multiple paths into one path based on a common attribute or event. This way, NTO can send five different versions of an initial welcome email using five different paths, and then join them into one path for the follow-up email

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.
