Free Practice Questions for Salesforce Marketing-Cloud-Administrator Exam

To sync specific contacts from Sales Cloud to Marketing Cloud without syncing all contacts, particularly when not all contacts need email communications, the admin should use a Boolean field to filter the contacts. This can be configured in the Contact Builder under Data Sources. A Boolean field allows for a simple true/false condition that can be set in Sales Cloud and used to control which records are synchronized based on their relevance for email communication. This method ensures that only contacts marked true (or false, depending on the setup) are brought into Marketing Cloud, efficiently managing the sync and keeping irrelevant contacts out of the system.

To resolve the issue of a data extension not appearing for email sends, confirm:

Sendable Status: Ensure the data extension is marked as Sendable. This setting links the data extension to a subscriber attribute, allowing it to be used for email sends.

To append an Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) variable string to links in emails, the Marketing Cloud admin should use the Web Analytics Connector (WAC).

The Web Analytics Connector can be configured within Email Studio to include specific UTM parameters as required by marketing strategies.

To monitor whether all records are being added to the target data structure each day in a scenario like that of Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO), the feature "Run Completion" within the File Drop Automation is most relevant. This feature allows the admin to check the status and results of the file drop automation, which includes verifying if the automation successfully completed and how many records were processed and added to the data extension. Using this feature, NTO can monitor daily imports and identify any discrepancies in the number of records processed, which could explain why fewer subscribers than expected are being sent emails.
