Free Practice Questions for Salesforce Marketing-Cloud-Account-Engagement-Specialist Exam

The three things that will affect the prospect records based on these activities are:

Bob’s prospect record will show him clicking on the link and filling out the form. This is because when an unknown visitor fills out a form, they become a known prospect and their previous activities are tracked and associated with their prospect record1.

Kate’s prospect record will show her clicking on the link and filling out the form. This is because Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracks the activities of known prospects who interact with your marketing assets, such as custom redirects and forms2.

Kate’s prospect record will have a tag of “clicked” applied to it. This is because the custom redirect has a completion action to add a tag of “clicked” to all prospects that click it, and completion actions are actions that Marketing Cloud Account Engagement executes after a prospect successfully completes a desired activity

Creating or marking an opportunity as lost will result in the change of a prospect’s score. This is because opportunities are one of the factors that affect the scoring of prospects in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Scoring is a numerical value that indicates the level of interest or engagement of a prospect in your products or services. Scoring is based on the actions and activities of prospects, such as opening emails, clicking links, filling out forms, visiting landing pages, and creating or updating opportunities. When an opportunity is created or marked as lost, the prospect’s score will change accordingly. For example, if you have a scoring rule that adds 50 points to a prospect’s score when an opportunity is created, and subtracts 25 points when an opportunity is lost, then creating or marking an opportunity as lost will affect the prospect’s score by those amounts.

Answer B is incorrect because creating or marking an opportunity as lost will not result in no change of a prospect’s score, as explained above. References: Scoring, Opportunities

 According to the Salesforce documentation, the explanation for why the completion actions did not occur when the client submitted their Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form to test the form’s completion actions is: A) The client has a visitor filter set up to filter activities from their IP address. Completion actions do not occur on filtered visitors. A visitor filter is a feature that allows users to exclude certain visitors from being tracked and reported in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. A visitor filter can be based on IP address, location, or domain. A visitor filter can help users to avoid tracking their own activities or those of their competitors. A completion action is an automation tool that can be used to perform an action after a prospect successfully completes a marketing element, such as submitting a form, clicking a link, or visiting a web page. A completion action can be used to perform actions such as adding a prospect to a list, assigning a prospect to a user, sending an autoresponder email, or adjusting a prospect’s score. However, completion actions do not occur on filtered visitors, as they are not tracked or reported in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Therefore, if the client has a visitor filter set up to filter activities from their IP address, the completion actions will not occur when they submit the form. The ‘email’ form field being set up to exclude free email addresses, the client not un-pausing the completion actions, or kiosk mode being enabled on the form are not the explanations for why the completion actions did not occur when the client submitted their Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form to test the form’s completion actions, as they are either irrelevant, incorrect, or nonexistent options for the form or the completion actions.

 A hard bounce refers to an email that permanently bounced back to the sender because the address is invalid. A hard bounce occurs when the prospect’s email address is incorrect, the domain name does not exist, or the sender is suspected as spam and/or has been blocked7. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement marks prospects with hard bounces as undeliverable and prevents any further email sends to them8. A hard bounce is different from a soft bounce, which is a temporary delivery failure due to reasons such as a full mailbox, a server outage, or a message size limit9. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement retries sending emails to prospects with soft bounces until they are delivered or until they reach five soft bounces, after which they are marked as undeliverable

 When an engagement studio program is created with an Email Send action step immediately followed by an Email Open trigger step with a 3 day wait, it means that the program will wait for up to 3 days for the prospect to open the email. If the prospect opens the email within the 3 day period, they will immediately progress down the “Yes” path (A). The prospect will not wait for any additional time after opening the email (B), nor will they progress down the “No” path (C, D). References: Engagement Studio Overview

The only required field for a record in Salesforce to be synced or created as a prospect record in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is the email address. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement uses the email address as the unique identifier for prospects, so it is mandatory for any record to sync between the two platforms. Other fields, such as name, company, or phone, are optional and can be mapped between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce, but they are not required for the sync to happen.

When investigating an odd field value on a prospect's record in Pardot, the first course of action should be to view the prospect's Audit tab. This tab provides a comprehensive log of all changes made to the prospect’s record, including information on what changes were made, who made them, and when they were made. This approach allows users to quickly ascertain the source of the odd field value, whether it was updated through a form submission, manually edited by another user, or changed through some other process. It is a more direct and reliable method than contacting assigned users or reviewing individual form submissions, which may not conclusively reveal the origins of the specific change.

 According to the Salesforce documentation, the issue of none of the lead’s Marketing Cloud Account Engagement information (score/grade) transferring over when Jim, a sales manager, converted a lead to a contact in Salesforce can be addressed by making sure that the administrator has mapped the lead fields to the contact fields in Salesforce. A field mapping is a feature that allows users to sync the data between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce fields, such as name, email, score, or grade. A field mapping can be configured by the administrator in the connector settings, and it can be customized for different objects, such as leads, contacts, or accounts. When a lead is converted to a contact in Salesforce, the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement information (score/grade) should transfer over to the contact record, as long as the lead fields and the contact fields are mapped correctly in the connector settings. If the fields are not mapped correctly, the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement information (score/grade) will not transfer over, and the contact record will not reflect the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement data. Therefore, the administrator needs to make sure that the lead fields and the contact fields are mapped correctly in the connector settings, and that the sync between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce is working properly. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement only showing this information on the lead record, this information showing on the account record and not the contact, or the administrator needing to create lookup fields on the contact to see this from the lead are not the correct ways to address the issue of none of the lead’s Marketing Cloud Account Engagement information (score/grade) transferring over when Jim, a sales manager, converted a lead to a contact in Salesforce, as they are either inaccurate, irrelevant, or unnecessary options for the field mapping or the data sync.

 You can delete a prospect through the prospect table actions. The prospect table is a list of all the prospects in your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account, which you can access by navigating to Prospects > Prospect List. From there, you can select one or more prospects and click on the Tools button to see the available actions. One of the actions is Delete, which will permanently remove the selected prospects from your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account. You can also delete a single prospect by clicking on their name and then clicking on the Delete button on their record.

Answer A is incorrect because you cannot delete a prospect through a completion action. A completion action is a task that is performed after a prospect successfully completes a marketing element, such as a form, landing page, or custom redirect. You can use completion actions to perform various actions on prospects, such as sending emails, adjusting scores, changing campaigns, or adding tags, but not deleting them. Answer B is incorrect because you cannot delete a prospect through an automation rule. An automation rule is a criteria-based action that is triggered when a prospect matches the rule. You can use automation rules to perform various actions on prospects, such as sending emails, adjusting scores, changing campaigns, or adding tags, but not deleting them. Answer C is incorrect because you can delete prospects, as explained above. References: Prospect List, [Delete Prospects], [Completion Actions], [Automation Rules]
