What the exam expects

  • Plan the setup that makes marketing agents available, and match each edition to what it lists.
  • Start a campaign from a description, ground the brief, then refine the preview before the save boundary.
  • Explain which agent actions run on flows and what those flows must supply.
  • Generate and revise channel content with the Content Builder agent.
  • Predict what Einstein segment creation suggests or leaves out, and what happens next to the segment.
  • Choose the right marketing agent for an account-focused sales alignment need.

Key terms. Campaign brief: the record holding objective and grounding, from which the preview is built. Campaign preview: the proposed name, flow and messages saved in the brief. Strategic grounding fields: brief fields such as goals, KPIs, priority or guardrails. Agent action: a standard task an agent can run. Einstein segment: a Data 360 segment drafted from a plain-language description.

Building custom large language models or managing external transformer architectures is outside this exam; everything here uses the out-of-the-box agents.
