    Hi @amarjit_hayer @aditik @rross1cy @khanson20 @ksbingham @emanespares 

     

    Hope you’re feeling more prepared for certification after these 3 weeks! 

     

    Here’s the quiz on Section 3: Defining and Targeting Audiences. 

     

    You are tasked to send an email campaign to contacts who visited your website and submitted an enquiry form in the last 30 days. Which of the following would be the most appropriate to use for this task?

     

    A) Smart List
    B) Static List
    C) Import List
    D) Segmentation

     

    Please reply to this post with your answer by Wednesday, 19 June, and feel free to post any questions as well!

      From reviewing practice test questions, it’s really important to understand what the question is actually asking, which I seem to struggle with ☹

       

      My initial gut response is A. Smart list, because it can be set up to look for anyone who fills out the form in the last 30 days, being dynamic and ongoing.  A smart list could be created to look for a 30-day range that is dynamic, or could be set to a fixed pre-determined date range.

       

      Submitted an inquiry could mean that it’s a one-time email send for everyone who filled out the form in the last 30 days, in a set date range, so a list import could work for this, into a static list. 

       

      Import list is usually from an external source that you are bringing into Marketo, which could or could not already be in your database.  I often use this when getting a list from an event partner showing who attended a particular show that we were participating in too, and most are already existing customers of ours.  A static list could be used in this case to ascertain who filled the form in the set date range, but would not be added to after that point.

       

      Segmentation is used to ‘sort your data’ for sending emails out, but form fill is not a good way to sort data, it should be something more permanent/ongoing such as geographical area, language, industry, etc.

       

      I am sticking with my initial answer of Smart list as it’s the simplest to use.

      Answer is SMART LIST.
      Smart list is used to dynamically segment and filter your database of leads based on specific criteria. It is particularly useful for creating targeted email campaigns based on recent activities. For sending an email campaign to contacts who visited your website and submitted an enquiry form in the last 30 days, the most appropriate option would be SMART LIST.

        Hi @Amarjit_Hayer @aditik @rross1CY @khanson20 @KSBingham @EmanEspares 

         

        We have reached the final week of this mentorship program! 

         

        Please run through Section 4: Analyzing and Building Reports in the Exam Prep Guide, and attempt the quiz on Section 3: Defining and Targeting Audiences.

         

        I will be posting the final quiz at the end of this week. Meanwhile, I would also encourage all of you to attempt the practice test available in the Adobe Certification Exam Prep Portal. This should give you a better feel of the certification questions and identify specific topics that you are still unsure of.

         

        Looking forward to finding out how prepared you are, and any further questions you may have!

          @clement-2 

          I don’t understand the sync to Marketo logic when a Salesforce campaign is linked to a Marketo program, hoping you could help.

           

          Our sales teams do not have access to Marketo, but our Marketo event programs are linked to Salesforce campaigns so our sales teams can see all registrations as they come in.

           

          Often I am asked to show the sales team who the targeted audience would be before we send an invite email.  I build that logic in Marketo as I am limited to 20 filters in Salesforce which doesn’t allow for the industry/role selections and cover our CASL obligations.

           

          Since the Marketo program and Salesforce campaign are linked, I always have problems adding people to the Salesforce campaign so that the sales team can review the audience. 

           

          1. I have tried to Change the program status to targeted in the flow step, and it skips them all with the message ‘Do Nothing' was set for this choice, 268 people skipped’
          2. Then I tried to Add to Salesforce campaign, which also failed with the same message ‘Do Nothing' was set for this choice, 268 people skipped’
          3. I have also tried cloning this smart campaign and moved it out of the event program, but still get the same message, 'Skipped execution due to that the SFDC campaign was linked with a program'

          What is the best way to push a target audience into Salesforce without sending them an email so the sales team can review the target audience in linked programs?

           

          Marketo support keeps sending me to the same page  which doesn't work in this scenario.

           

          If I un-sync the Marketo program from the Salesforce campaign, then run this Add to Salesforce campaign flow step, will Marketo automatically re-sync anyone that comes in during that period when I re-sync the two again?

           

          Another option is to create a separate child campaign in Salesforce that we could use for the target audience review, and ultimately use that for the email send.  Add to Salesforce campaign would work in this scenario.

           

          What would you suggest?

            Hey @amarjit_hayer 

             

            “Add to SFDC campaign” flow step will skip leads who are already a member of the specified SFDC campaign.

             

            Could you check if any of these 268 leads are already a member of the SFDC campaign? 

             

            If this is the case, I would recommend using a “Change status in SFDC campaign” flow step instead (which is different from “Change program status”). 

             

            “Change status in SFDC campaign” should also add and sync any new leads who are not a member of the SFDC campaign yet. 

             

            There shouldn’t be a need to unsync and resync your campaigns. When your Marketo and SFDC campaigns are synced, the program members and statuses are kept in sync and reflected on both Marketo and SFDC. 

             

            That said, I believe the issue here is that your leads will only become members of the campaign after the program has ran and the invite has been sent. Hence, you won’t be able to see the target audience in SFDC until after the program has ran. 

             

            Perhaps you can try running the program once with the “Change status in SFDC campaign” flow step and without any “Send email” flow step. This should update the targeted leads’ program membership and status, which will be reflected in SFDC as well. 

             

            When you are ready to send the invite using the same smart campaign, just remember to set it to allow the same leads to run through the flow every time / at least more than once. Otherwise, they will not be able to flow through the campaign again and will thus not receive the invite. 

             

            Let me know how it goes, and if you have any further questions 🙂

              Hi @aditik @amarjit_hayer @rross1cy @khanson20 @ksbingham @emanespares 

               

              Here’s the quiz on (Section 4) Analyzing and Building Reports. 

               

              Which Adobe Marketo Engage report should you use to analyze the performance of  specific email programs, including metrics like open rates, click-through rates, and bounce rates?

               

              A) People Performance
              B) Program Performance
              C) Email Performance
              D) Email Link Performance

               

              Please reply to this post with your answer by Tuesday, 25 June. 

               

              Do also let me know if you intend to take the Adobe Marketo Engage Professional (AD0-E555) exam and whether you have already booked it.

                I haven't had a chance to read the section on reports yet, which I also do not use in my daily work, but I would guess it would be an email performance report, just by the name.  I will come back and update my answer if after reading I feel it needs to.
