What the exam expects

  • Choose between a data action, an enrichment, a data share, a clean room and segment activation for a business need.
  • Build a data action: target, data space, primary object, related object, event rule and action rule.
  • Explain the subscriber key, currency field, change operators and the Trigger Data Action for Updated Records lock.
  • Name the data action targets, secure a webhook, and explain why some data actions and targets are read-only.
  • Pick a related list, direct-DMO related list or copy field enrichment to show Data 360 data on CRM records.

Key terms:

  • Data action: monitors changes in DMOs and calculated insight objects and sends change events to a target in near real time.
  • Data action target: the destination that receives the data action event.
  • Event rule: the record change (created, updated, deleted) that starts evaluation.
  • Action rule: the attribute conditions, joined with AND or OR, that must be true to send the event.
  • Enrichment: Data 360 data shown on a Salesforce CRM record page.
