When tracking access to files hosted outside of Pardot, the best feature to use is a Custom redirect. This tool allows Pardot users to create trackable URLs which can then be used to direct prospects to external files. The interactions with these URLs are tracked, capturing data whenever a prospect accesses the link. This enables marketers to gather analytics on file access even when the content itself is not hosted within Pardot, providing valuable insights into prospect engagement with external resources.

 According to the Salesforce documentation, the default scoring model in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement assigns points to prospects based on their activities, such as clicking a link in an email, submitting a form, or visiting a landing page. These activities indicate the level of interest and engagement of the prospects, and help prioritize them for sales follow-up. Converting a lead to a contact or sending an email to the assigned user are not activities that automatically increase the prospect’s score, unless they are customized in the scoring rules. References: Salesforce documentation

 The automation tool that should be used to increase a prospect’s score an additional five points every time a specific form is completed is completion action. A completion action is an automated task that is triggered by a certain element in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, such as a form, a form handler, a custom redirect, a page action, or a file download17. A completion action can perform various actions, such as adjusting score, adding to list, assigning to user, sending autoresponder email, and so on18. A completion action can be added to a form in the fourth step of the form builder tool, and it can be customized to execute only on prospects who meet specific criteria19. A completion action is not retroactive and will only apply to prospects who complete the chosen action moving forward

The expected behavior if an automation rule is not set to repeat is that the prospect matches the criteria once and the action runs once. An automation rule is a rule that runs in the background and matches prospects based on certain criteria and performs certain actions. An automation rule can be set to repeat or not repeat, depending on whether the administrator wants the rule to run multiple times or only once on the same prospect. If the automation rule is not set to repeat, it means that the rule will only run once on each prospect who matches the criteria, and it will not run again even if the prospect matches the criteria again in the future. The other options are not the expected behavior if an automation rule is not set to repeat. The prospect cannot match the criteria multiple times and the action runs each time, as this would require the rule to be set to repeat. The action cannot run only once per day on the prospect, as this would require the rule to have a daily frequency limit. The prospect cannot match the criteria once, but the action runs multiple times, as this would require the rule to have multiple actions or a recurring action. References [Automation Rules Overview]

Express Export is a feature that allows you to export a list of prospects with only the default fields, such as email, name, company, score, and grade. This option is faster and simpler than the full export, which includes all the custom fields as well. You can use the Express Export option by selecting a list of prospects and clicking on the “Tools” button, then choosing “Express Export”. References: [Export Prospects], [Express Export]

In Salesforce Pardot’s enhanced email experience, the process to use a created email content in an engagement program requires converting the email content into an email template.

• Convert the email content record to an email template: This functionality allows marketers to leverage the rich content created in the email content record format and utilize it within the structured framework of an engagement program. The conversion process standardizes the email content into a template format, which can then be seamlessly integrated into various Pardot automation tools including engagement programs. This ensures that the aesthetic and functional integrity of the email content is maintained across different marketing campaigns and workflows.

Options such as selecting the engagement program directly from the email or activating the email for use in automation do not align with Pardot’s current capabilities regarding email integration in engagement programs, as they require the email to be in a template format to be used effectively.

Email, First Name, and Last Name are not required fields in order for GoToWebinar to register a new user to an event. GoToWebinar is a web conferencing platform that allows you to host and join online meetings, webinars, and trainings. You can integrate Marketing Cloud Account Engagement with GoToWebinar using the GoToWebinar connector, which allows you to register prospects for GoToWebinar events from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement forms, landing pages, or completion actions. However, the only required field for GoToWebinar registration is Email. You can also include other fields, such as First Name, Last Name, Phone, or Company, but they are not mandatory. If you do not include these fields, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will use the default values from the prospect’s record or the connector settings.

Answer A is incorrect because Email, First Name, and Last Name are not required fields in order for GoToWebinar to register a new user to an event, as explained above. References: [GoToWebinar Connector], [Set Up the GoToWebinar Connector]

The recommended way to create this type of list is to use an automation rule where prospects who complete the form will match the rule once and be added to the list. An automation rule is a rule that runs continuously in the background and matches prospects based on the criteria you set. You can use an automation rule to perform actions on the matched prospects, such as adding them to a list, assigning them to a user, or changing their field values. However, an automation rule can only match a prospect once in its lifetime, even if the prospect meets the criteria again later. This prevents duplicate or conflicting actions from being applied to the same prospect3. Therefore, an automation rule is ideal for creating a list of prospects who complete the Contact Us form but only want them to be added the first time they complete the form. If a prospect is ever removed from the list, they will not be able to get added back to it, because they will not match the automation rule again.

The baseline grade assigned to a prospect is D. A Marketing Cloud Account Engagement grade is a rating based on how well a prospect’s profile matches your ideal customer profile. The prospect rating is expressed as a letter grade that ranges from F (worst) to A+ (best). Marketing Cloud Account Engagement assigns an initial grade of D to all prospects. You can then adjust the grade up or down based on the prospect’s attributes, such as industry, job title, company size, location, etc. The grade reflects how well the prospect fits your target market and how qualified they are for your product or service. You can create different grading profiles for different personas or segments, and assign prospects to profiles based on certain criteria. For more details —> 345

The list email report metric that represents the total number of emails minus hard and soft bounces is total delivered. Total delivered measures how many emails were successfully delivered to the recipients’ inboxes, without being rejected by the email servers. Hard bounces are permanent delivery failures, such as invalid email addresses or blocked domains. Soft bounces are temporary delivery failures, such as full inboxes or server issues. Total opt outs, total sent, and total queued are not the same as total delivered. Total opt outs measures how many recipients unsubscribed from your emails. Total sent measures how many emails were sent from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Total queued measures how many emails were waiting to be sent from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. References [Email Metrics Glossary]

By default, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement writes to two objects in Salesforce: contact records and lead records. These are the two objects that store information about individual prospects in Salesforce. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement syncs with these objects based on the email address field, which is the unique identifier for prospects. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement can create new contact or lead records in Salesforce, or update existing ones, depending on the sync settings and rules. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not write to case records, opportunity records, or account records by default, but it can read from them and use their information for segmentation and reporting purposes. References Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce Sync Behavior

According to the Salesforce documentation, when a visitor clicks on a custom redirect with an action of adding a tag, and then fills out a form and becomes a prospect, the following three things will happen to the prospect: A) The prospect activities will show that the form was successfully completed, B) The prospect will be added to the list, and D) The prospect will be tagged. A custom redirect is a trackable URL that can be used to measure and report on the clicks of any online content, such as banner ads, social media posts, or third-party websites. A custom redirect can also have completion actions, such as adding a tag, which are performed when a visitor clicks on the custom redirect. A tag is a label that can be used to categorize and segment prospects. A form is a web form that can be used to collect information from prospects and store it in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. A form can also have completion actions, such as adding to a list, which are performed when a prospect successfully submits the form. A list is a collection of prospects that can be used for segmentation and email sending. When a visitor clicks on a custom redirect and then fills out a form, the visitor becomes a prospect, and the completion actions of both the custom redirect and the form are applied to the prospect. The prospect activities will show both the custom redirect click and the form submission, the prospect will be added to the list specified in the form completion action, and the prospect will be tagged with the tag specified in the custom redirect completion action. The newly converted prospect will be affected by both the custom redirect and the form completion actions, as they are not dependent on the prospect’s previous submissions or activities. References: Salesforce documentation

The number that would display on the Report Card for the email send statistic is 100. This is because the Report Card shows the total number of prospects that have reached a specific step in the program, regardless of the date range that you filter by. The date range filter only affects the data that is shown in the Engagement History table, which shows the number of prospects that have taken a specific action on a specific date. Therefore, even if the user filters the program to show a date range of Tuesday through Friday of last week, the Report Card will still show that 100 emails were sent on Monday, as that is the total number of prospects that reached the first step of the program

Rule step types in engagement studio programs are used to check the prospect criteria, such as field values, list membership, tags, grades, scores, etc. Rule steps can branch the program based on whether the prospect meets the criteria or not. For example, a rule step can check if the prospect has a certain job title or industry and send them different emails accordingly. Prospect interest, behavior, and activity are not rule step types, but they can be used as criteria for rule steps. References Engagement Studio: Rule Steps

A reCAPTCHA is displayed when you did not choose to display it because Marketing Cloud Account Engagement pings a database of known spammers and when a match is found automatically displays a reCAPTCHA. This is a security measure that helps prevent spam bots from submitting your forms and creating fake prospects. You can also choose to always display a reCAPTCHA on your forms or form handlers, or to never display a reCAPTCHA on your forms.

The automation tool that would effectively achieve the goal of adding prospects to a list after they submit a form, but not retroactively applying actions to prospects that have already filled out the form, is a completion action. Completion actions are actions that are triggered when a prospect completes a specific activity, such as submitting a form, clicking a link, or opening an email. Completion actions are executed in real time and only affect the prospects who complete the activity after the action is set up. Segmentation rules, dynamic lists, and automation rules are not suitable for this goal, as they are either retroactive, recurring, or based on criteria other than a specific activity. References Completion Actions Overview

The best way to create a list that contains all prospects who complete the Contact Us form, but will later remove any prospects if they become marked as opted out, is to use a dynamic list. A dynamic list is a list that automatically adds or removes prospects based on criteria that you define. In this case, the criteria would be based on the form completion and the opt out status of the prospect. A dynamic list would also add prospects back to the list if they opt back in. The other options are not as efficient or effective as a dynamic list, as they would require manual intervention or additional automation steps

The recommended way to identify the prospects who purchased a certain product within the last year and export them to a .csv file is to create a segmentation rule based on the Product Name field. A segmentation rule is a one-time rule that matches prospects based on certain criteria and performs certain actions. You can create a segmentation rule that matches prospects who have the specific product name in the Product Name field and the action to export them to a .csv file. This way, you can get a one-time export of all the prospects who have the product name before it changes. An automation rule, a completion action, or a dynamic list are not suitable for this goal, as they are either recurring, real-time, or based on an activity, not a one-time export based on a field value. References [Segmentation Rules Overview]

Once a Salesforce Opportunity syncs to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, two actions that can be taken are referencing the Opportunity in automation rules and viewing the Opportunity in Opportunity Reports. Automation rules are rules that run in the background and match prospects based on certain criteria and perform certain actions. You can use Opportunity fields as criteria or actions in automation rules, such as adding prospects to a list based on their Opportunity stage or updating their Opportunity amount based on their score. Opportunity Reports are reports that show the revenue generated by your marketing campaigns and the influence of your marketing activities on the sales pipeline. You can view the Opportunity Reports in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to analyze the performance of your marketing efforts and optimize your strategy. Manually editing or deleting the Opportunity in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement are not actions that can be taken, as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not allow editing or deleting Opportunities. You can only edit or delete Opportunities in Salesforce, and the changes will sync back to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. References Opportunities in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Automation Rules Overview Opportunity Reports

In Engagement Studio programs within Pardot, the paths that prospects take can be defined by various triggers based on their actions or statuses. The following are valid triggers:

• List membership: This trigger checks if the prospect belongs to a specific list, allowing for tailored engagements based on list segmentation.
• Email open: This monitors whether a prospect has opened an email, serving as a behavioral trigger for further actions.
• Custom redirect click: This trigger checks if the prospect has clicked on a custom redirect link, which is often used to track engagement with specific content or calls to action. These triggers help in dynamically steering prospects through different paths based on their interactions with marketing materials.

In order to send an autoresponder email, you need to create an email template in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and select the option “Autoresponder emails” under “Available For”. An email template is a preformatted email that you can use to create and send emails quickly and easily. An autoresponder email is an email that is triggered automatically whenever a prospect engages with your marketing assets, such as filling out a form or downloading a file

 Drip programs are automated email campaigns that send a series of messages to prospects based on predefined criteria and triggers. You can pause and resume drip programs at any time. However, when you resume a drip program, it does not start immediately. It takes up to one hour for the drip program to resume sending emails to the prospects in the program. It does not take 5 minutes, one business day, or immediately for the drip program to start after unpausing it. References: Drip Programs, Pause and Resume Drip Programs

 According to the [Salesforce documentation], in order to set up an automated grading model in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, two components are required: profile and automation rule. A profile is a set of criteria that defines an ideal prospect for a specific product or service. A profile can include information such as industry, job title, location, company size, etc. An automation rule is a logic-based action that can be triggered when a prospect meets certain criteria. An automation rule can be used to assign a grade to a prospect based on their profile match. A Marketing Cloud Account Engagement score is a numerical value that indicates the level of interest and engagement of a prospect, but it is not required for setting up an automated grading model. A dynamic list is a list of prospects that is updated automatically based on certain criteria, but it is not required for setting up an automated grading model either. References: [Salesforce documentation]

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement syncs first with contacts in Salesforce. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce work together to keep data aligned between the two platforms. Some of the data that syncs bi-directionally are leads, contacts, and campaigns. Some of the data that syncs one-directionally from Salesforce to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement are accounts, opportunities, and tasks. By default, when Marketing Cloud Account Engagement syncs a prospect, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement looks for contacts with a matching email address as first priority. If it doesn’t find any, it will look for a matching lead to sync with. If it doesn’t find one of those, either, it will create a lead. This ensures that Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not create duplicate records in Salesforce. You can also configure Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to create contacts or person accounts instead of leads, depending on your preference. For more details —> 678910

 The aspect of a Prospect record that represents their overall level of interest is Score. The score is a numerical value that measures the implicit interest of a prospect based on their engagement with marketing activities, such as opening emails, clicking links, and visiting landing pages. The score can increase or decrease based on the actions that a prospect takes, and can help marketers prioritize and segment their prospects. Grade, Profile, and Account are not aspects of a Prospect record that represent their overall level of interest, as they measure different attributes of a prospect, such as their explicit fit, their completeness, or their company information3. References: 3: Scoring and Grading Prospects

To troubleshoot why a prospect did not receive an email from a drip program, an Administrator should check the following tabs in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement:

• The Audits tab to see if the prospect was on the correct lists when the email was sent. This tab shows the list membership changes and email sends for the prospect.
• The Overview tab to determine whether the prospect is unmailable. This tab shows the prospect’s email status, which could be opt-out, hard bounce, or do not email.
• The Lists tab to determine whether the prospect is on the recipient list or any suppression lists. This tab shows the lists that the prospect belongs to, including any lists that are used to exclude prospects from receiving emails. References: Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Audits Tab, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Email Statuses, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Lists

Completion actions are not retroactive and will only apply to prospects who complete the chosen action moving forward. Completion actions will fire each and every time a prospect takes the chosen action, except for when changing the prospect’s Marketing Cloud Account Engagement score

 You can send an automated email to a prospect after they fill out a form using either an automation rule or a completion action. An automation rule is a criteria-based action that is triggered when a prospect matches the rule. You can use an automation rule to send an email to prospects who fill out a specific form or any form. A completion action is a task that is performed after a prospect successfully completes a marketing element. You can use a completion action to send an email to prospects who fill out a particular form. You cannot use a segmentation rule to send an email, since segmentation rules are used to segment prospects into lists or update their field values. References: [Automation Rules], Completion Actions, [Segmentation Rules]

A form handler setting that allows prospects to receive multiple autoresponders from form submissions within a 24-hour period is Disable Visitor Activity Throttling and send autoresponder emails after every submission. This setting overrides the default behavior of Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, which is to throttle visitor activity and send only one autoresponder email per prospect per form per day2. This setting can be useful for forms that are used for multiple purposes, such as event registration, content download, or contact request

An A/B test list send email is a type of email send that allows marketers to test different versions of an email and measure their performance based on metrics such as opens, clicks, and conversions. The winning version is the one that has the highest percentage of the selected metric. If the winning version shows the percentage by which it out-performed the other version as 0%, it means that both versions had the same performance on the selected metric, and the A/B test was a tie2. References: 2: A/B Testing Your Email Sends

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

 According to the Salesforce documentation, the recommended way to change the scheduled send date for the email is to edit the scheduled email, select Wednesday for the new date, and save it. A scheduled email is an email that is set to be sent at a future date and time. A scheduled email can be edited or canceled before the scheduled send time. To edit a scheduled email, the user can go to the Scheduled tab in Email Studio, select the email, and click Edit. The user can then change the send date and time, as well as other settings, and save the changes. Editing the engagement studio program, deleting the engagement studio program, or deleting the scheduled email are not the recommended ways to change the scheduled send date for the email, as they are either unnecessary, ineffective, or irreversible actions.

The key difference between an email template and an email content record in the enhanced email experience within Pardot lies in their usability across different Salesforce platforms. An email template, once created in Pardot, can be utilized by users across Pardot, Sales Cloud, and Service Cloud. This allows for a consistent messaging and branding experience across various customer-facing platforms within the Salesforce ecosystem. In contrast, an email content record in Pardot is specific to Pardot and designed for use within the platform's email marketing campaigns, focusing on specific layouts and elements tailored to Pardot's capabilities.

You can find the following information about your competitors in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement: Alexa rank, number of inbound links, and number of indexed pages. These are the metrics that Marketing Cloud Account Engagement’s competitor website monitoring feature provides, which help you assess how well your competitors’ websites are performing in terms of SEO. Alexa rank is a measure of how popular a website is compared to millions of other websites. Number of inbound links is the total number of links from other websites that point to a website. Number of indexed pages is the total number of pages that a website has that are recognized by search engines78 References: 7: Competitor Tracking in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement: 3 Best Practices8: Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement: How To Maximise ROI in B2B Marketing Automation

A Marketing Cloud Account Engagement instance can have only one CRM connector verified at one time. A CRM connector is a feature that allows you to connect your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account with your CRM system, such as Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics. A CRM connector enables bi-directional data sync between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and your CRM, and allows you to align your marketing and sales processes. You can only have one CRM connector verified at one time, because Marketing Cloud Account Engagement can only sync with one CRM system at a time. If you want to switch to a different CRM system, you need to disconnect your current CRM connector and verify a new one

 The process to add a prospect who visits a pricing page to a list is to create a page action. A page action is a feature that allows you to track and act on the behavior of prospects who visit specific pages on your website, such as your pricing page, product page, or thank you page. You can use page actions to perform actions on the prospects who visit the page, such as adding them to a list, assigning them to a user, or changing their field values. You can also use page actions to customize the content or layout of the page based on the prospect’s attributes or behaviors3. To create a page action, you need to specify the URL of the page that you want to track, and the actions that you want to execute when a prospect visits the page. For example, you can create a page action that matches the URL of your pricing page, and adds the prospect to a list of pricing page visitors. 

A completion action is a type of action that allows marketers to define what happens after a prospect completes a specific activity, such as submitting a form, clicking a link, or opening an email. One of the capabilities of a completion action is to remove a prospect from a list. This can be useful for managing list membership, suppressing prospects from future sends, or moving prospects to different lists based on their behavior. A completion action cannot send a list email to a prospect, increase a prospect’s grade, or adjust a prospect’s account field2. References: 2: Completion Actions

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement forms are the best option if you need to be able to edit and change your form directly. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement forms are built and managed completely in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and you can easily modify them using the form builder or the layout template. You can also preview and test your changes before publishing them. Form handlers, on the other hand, require you to edit and change your form on the external platform where it is hosted, and you may need to regenerate the code snippet if you add or remove any fields

According to the Salesforce documentation, the information that cannot be displayed as a graph (line or bar) on the dashboard are: A) Prospects Created, and B) Conversions. The dashboard is a feature that shows the overview and performance of the marketing activities and campaigns in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. The dashboard can be accessed from the Dashboard tab in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and it can show different data and metrics for the marketing elements, such as emails, forms, landing pages, or opportunities. The dashboard can display some of the information as graphs (line or bar), such as opportunities created, opportunities won, opportunities lost, or all prospects. The graphs can help users to visualize and compare the trends and changes of the information over time, and to filter or export the graphs. The dashboard cannot display some of the information as graphs (line or bar), such as prospects created or conversions. The prospects created information shows the number of prospects that were added to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement in a given time period, and it can be displayed as a table or a chart, but not as a graph. The conversions information shows the number of visitors that were converted to prospects in a given time period, and it can be displayed as a table or a chart, but not as a graph. These types of information are not suitable for displaying as graphs, as they are either too granular or too static for the data visualization. References: Salesforce documentation

 A prospect is automatically removed from future email sends when they either hard bounce or soft bounce five times. A hard bounce occurs when an email is permanently rejected by the recipient’s server, usually because the email address is invalid, non-existent, or blocked. A soft bounce occurs when an email is temporarily rejected by the recipient’s server, usually because the mailbox is full, the server is down, or the message is too large. A hard bounce indicates that the email address is no longer valid and should be removed from your list. A soft bounce indicates that the email address may still be valid, but there is a temporary issue that prevents the delivery. However, after five soft bounces, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will mark the prospect as undeliverable and stop sending emails to them

The three user role security limits that can be added to an individual user account are max number of emails the user can send, max number of records a user can import, and max number of prospects the user can export. User role security limits are optional settings that allow you to restrict the actions that a user can perform in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, based on their user role. You can use user role security limits to prevent users from sending too many emails, importing or exporting too many records, or deleting prospects or assets. User role security limits can be applied to individual user accounts or to user roles

 The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect audit capabilities can list all the data that was obtained by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and how the data changes as the prospect interact with your emails, website, and CRM sync. This is true because the prospect audit table displays details about changes to the prospect record, such as field changes, list changes, assignments, form errors, email opens, link clicks, page views, CRM syncs and more.

Conditional completion actions in Pardot allow for a more targeted approach in executing actions based on specific criteria met by prospects. A key behavior of these actions is that both standard (apply to all prospects) and conditional (apply only if certain conditions are met) completion actions can coexist on the same marketing asset. This dual functionality enhances the asset's ability to engage with different segments of the audience differently, based on their interactions or demographic information, thus allowing for more personalized and effective marketing tactics.

 A custom redirect is a special URL that tracks link clicks and conversions for any online marketing content. If a prospect clicks on a custom redirect after filling out a form, the prospect’s assigned Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaign will change only if the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement completion action for the custom redirect is set to change the campaign. Otherwise, the prospect’s campaign will remain the same, since it is based on the first touchpoint. The page that the custom redirect links to does not affect the prospect’s campaign. References: Custom Redirects, Completion Actions, [Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Campaigns]

To score prospects separately based on their interactions with different product lines in Pardot, the best approach is to assign a scoring category to each product line folder. Scoring categories allow administrators to segment prospect scoring based on interactions with specific types of content, aligning with different business units, products, or campaigns. By assigning a distinct scoring category to each folder associated with a product line, an administrator can precisely track and score prospect engagement relative to each product line. This tailored scoring provides deeper insights into prospect interests and can better inform targeted marketing strategies.

The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement function that should be used to track prospect engagement on a banner ad on a third-party site is custom redirect. A custom redirect is a feature that allows you to track and measure the click-through rate of any online marketing content, such as banner ads, social media posts, or email links. You can use custom redirects to create trackable URLs for your banner ads, and monitor how many prospects click on them. You can also use custom redirects to perform actions on the prospects who click on them, such as adding them to a list, assigning them to a user, or changing their field values

 A new automation rule does not require any additional action for prospects to begin matching that automation rule, other than saving the rule. Automation rules are active by default once they are saved, and they run every hour to match prospects based on the rule criteria. Resuming, scheduling, or previewing the rule are not actions that are required for prospects to begin matching the rule, but they are optional features that can be used to manage or test the rule. References Automation Rules Overview

The Salesforce field type that is unsupported for syncing with Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is Lookup. Lookup fields are fields that allow you to create a relationship between two objects in Salesforce, such as Account and Contact. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not support syncing Lookup fields, because they are not compatible with Marketing Cloud Account Engagement’s data model and could cause data inconsistencies or errors. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement supports syncing most other Salesforce field types, such as Text, Number, Picklist, and Formula. 

The two characteristics that must be true of the list that the prospect can view and opt out of on the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Email Preference Center are that it is a Static List and that it is a CRM Visible List. A Static List is a list that is manually populated by the marketer or the prospect. A prospect can opt out of a Static List by clicking on the unsubscribe link in an email or by visiting the Email Preference Center and deselecting the list. A CRM Visible List is a list that is synced with a Salesforce campaign and can be viewed and reported on in Salesforce. A prospect can be removed from a CRM Visible List if they no longer meet the criteria of the Salesforce campaign, such as having a certain score or status. Option B is not correct because a Dynamic List is a list that is automatically populated by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement based on criteria that match prospect fields. A prospect cannot opt out of a Dynamic List, but they can be removed from the list if they no longer meet the criteria. Option D is not correct because a Public List is a list that is visible on the Email Preference Center and can be opted in or out by the prospect. A Public List can be either a Static List or a Dynamic List, but it is not a characteristic that affects the prospect’s removal from the list.

Form handlers are also the best option if you need to maintain your current lead flow, such as using your own CRM or lead management system. Form handlers allow you to keep your existing forms and processes, while still capturing the prospect data in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement1. You can also use form handlers to avoid changing the look and feel of your forms, or to comply with any regulations or policies that require you to use your own forms

 If a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement administrator wants to know how many unique submissions they have for a form on a landing page, they should check the landing page report. The landing page report shows the performance metrics of a landing page, such as views, submissions, conversion rate, and cost per submission. The landing page report also shows the number of unique submissions, which is the number of prospects who submitted the form for the first time. The landing page report can be accessed from the landing page table or from the landing page details page6. References: Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Landing Page Reports

To test emails before sending them, the marketing team can use the test list feature in the testing tab of the email flow. This feature allows them to send test emails to a list of approved users who can view the links and variable tags as prospects will see them. The test list can be created in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and added to the testing tab of the email flow. References: [Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Test List]

To see why the email was not sent to the prospect, the marketing manager should refer to the list email send report to see if a suppression list was used. A suppression list is a list of prospects who should not receive a specific email, even if they are on the recipient list. If the prospect was on a suppression list, they would not receive the email. The other options are not likely to explain why the email was not sent, as the prospect was already on the recipient list and was mailable

The way that a visitor can convert to a prospect is by submitting a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form. A visitor is an anonymous person who visits a website that has Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracking code installed. A visitor can be identified by their IP address, location, browser, device, and pages viewed. A visitor can also be tracked by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement cookies if they have visited the website before. A visitor can convert to a prospect when they provide their email address to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement through a form, a form handler, a landing page, or a custom redirect. A prospect is a known person who has a record in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and can be associated with a lead or a contact in Salesforce. A prospect can be tracked by their email address, activities, score, grade, and other fields. A prospect can also be segmented, nurtured, and qualified by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement5. Option A is not correct because downloading an eBook does not necessarily convert

These are the default user roles that are included with Marketing Cloud Account Engagement1. They have different levels of access and permissions to perform various tasks in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. You can also create custom roles from a default role or from scratch.

The answer that correctly describes what will happen to the prospects who landed on the End step more than 90 days ago and previously reached the 5 total entries limit is that prospects will re-enter the program immediately. A repeating engagement program is a type of program that allows prospects to re-enter the program after a certain period of time, such as 90 days, and up to a certain number of times, such as 5. If a user changes the total entries limit to a higher number, such as 10, the prospects who have already reached the previous limit, but are eligible to re-enter based on the time period, will re-enter the program as soon as the user restarts the program. Prospects will not re-enter the program after waiting another 90 days, remain ineligible to re-enter the program, or not re-enter the program until manually approved, as these are not the effects of changing the total entries limit2.

 If a non-repeating automation rule has matched 100 prospects, and a user pauses the automation rule, edits the rules criteria, and resumes the rule, the 100 prospects who previously matched the rule will be marked as unmatching the updated rule. This means that they will not receive any new actions from the rule, and any actions that were already applied to them will not be undone11. However, if the rule is set to repeat, the prospects who previously matched the rule can match the rule again if they meet the new criteria

You can use visitor filters to filter out your own IP address that is currently skewing your results. Visitor filters are rules that allow you to exclude certain IP addresses or ranges from your visitor data and reports. This can help you avoid counting your own visits or those of your employees, partners, or vendors as prospects and skewing your analytics. You can create visitor filters by entering the IP addresses or ranges that you want to exclude in the administration settings.

Answer A is incorrect because you cannot use an automation rule to filter out your own IP address. 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 filtering them out. Answer B is incorrect because you cannot add rules to the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracking code to filter out your own IP address. The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracking code is a snippet of JavaScript code that you can add to your website pages to track visitor and prospect activity. You can customize the tracking code to enable or disable certain features, such as first-party cookies, campaign tracking, or opt-in preferences, but not visitor filters. Answer C is incorrect because you cannot use completion actions with a filter to filter out your own IP address. 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 filtering them out.

The best way to accomplish the goal of sending the same email template again this week to the same list, but make sure that the prospects that received it last week do not get it again, is to create a new list of the prospects that received the email last week and then use it as a suppression list when sending the email template to the “Hot Prospects” list ©. This way, the prospects who already received the email will be excluded from the recipient list, and only the new prospects who match the dynamic criteria will receive the email. Creating a new dynamic list using the criteria “Prospect email template”, the template name, and “was not received” (A) is not a valid option, as there is no such criteria available for dynamic lists. Sending the email template to the “Hot Prospects” list, but selecting the “deduplicate” option (B) is not a valid option, as the deduplicate option only removes duplicate prospects within the same list, not across different lists. Sending the email template to the “Hot Prospects” list like last time (D) is not a valid option, as the prospects that received it before will not be automatically suppressed from receiving the same email template, unless the email template has the option “Do not send to prospects who have already received this email” enabled. References: Create a Dynamic List, Send a List Email

 You can undelete a prospect if the deleted prospect is imported into Marketing Cloud Account Engagement with the same email address or if the deleted prospect re-converts by filling out a form with the same email address. When you delete a prospect, they are removed from your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account, but their record is not completely erased. You can restore them by importing them again or by having them fill out a form again, which will update their existing record and undelete them. However, you cannot undelete a prospect if they visit a web page, as this will not trigger any action on their record.

Answer B is incorrect because visiting a web page will not undelete a prospect, as explained above. References: Delete Prospects, Undelete Prospects

The automation tool that the Administrator should use to create this list is a dynamic list. A dynamic list is a list that automatically populates with prospects who match the criteria you set. You can use a dynamic list to segment your prospects based on their attributes or behaviors, such as their opportunity stage, score, or email activity. A dynamic list is constantly updated, so prospects are added or removed from the list as they meet or no longer meet the criteria. A dynamic list is ideal for creating a list of prospects who are in the prospecting stage of the opportunity, and removing them from the list once they move to another stage. 

A good default sales ready lead score is 100, as this indicates a high level of interest and engagement from the prospect. Lead scoring is a way of assigning a numerical value to each prospect based on their behavior and profile, such as visiting your website, opening your emails, filling out forms, etc. The higher the score, the more likely the prospect is to buy from you. A lead score of 100 means that the prospect has met all the criteria you have set for a sales ready lead, such as viewing a specific page, requesting a demo, or downloading a white paper. You can customize your lead scoring criteria and thresholds according to your business needs and goals. For more details —> 12

 Marketing Cloud Account Engagement sets cookies on visitors’ browsers to track their activities. Cookies are small bits of text that a website leaves with the browser so the website can remember who the visitor is. Cookies are the most common method used to identify users online and provide a personalized browsing experience. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement uses cookies to track visitor behavior on the website, such as pages visited, forms submitted, or files downloaded. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement also uses cookies to associate visitors with prospects once they fill out a form or click on a tracked link in an email. Option A is not correct because UTM parameters are not set by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, but by the marketer who creates the URL with query strings that indicate the source, medium, campaign, and other information of the traffic. Option B is not correct because tracking pixels are not set by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, but by the email client that renders the email with a hidden image that sends a request to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement’s server and records the open event. Option D is not correct because Google Analytics tracking code is not set by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, but by the website owner who embeds the code on the website to collect and analyze web traffic data.

Click-through rate (CTR) is the percentage of recipients who click on a link in your email. CTR is an indicator of how engaging and relevant your email content is to your audience. CTR can vary depending on the industry, the type of email, the subject line, the call to action, and other factors. However, according to various sources, the average CTR for email marketing across all industries is around 2.6%. Therefore, a CTR of more than 2% can be considered as an ideal or good CTR for email marketing

The two events that allow for a prospect’s Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaign to be set are:

• When new prospects are imported into Marketing Cloud Account Engagement via a .csv file. A Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaign is a marketing initiative that you use to track the first touch point with your prospects, such as a trade show, a webinar, or a Google Ad. You can assign a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaign to your prospects when you import them into Marketing Cloud Account Engagement via a .csv file, which is a file that contains the prospect data in a comma-separated format. You can use the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaign field in the .csv file to specify the campaign that you want to associate with the prospects, or you can use the default campaign that you select when you upload the file4.
• When the Google Analytics connector is enabled within Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, which will associate prospects with third-party campaigns. The Google Analytics connector is a feature that allows you to connect your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account with your Google Analytics account, and sync the campaign data between them. You can use the Google Analytics connector to append UTM parameters to your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracked links, and associate prospects with third-party campaigns, such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or Twitter Ads. UTM parameters are tags that you can add to the end of a URL to track the source, medium, campaign, term, and content of your web traffic. When a prospect clicks on a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement tracked link that contains UTM parameters, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will set the prospect’s Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaign to the value of the utm_campaign parameter, if it exists. 

You cannot set up Marketing Cloud Account Engagement yourself to sync with Person Accounts. You need to contact Marketing Cloud Account Engagement support to enable this functionality, as it is not available by default. Person Accounts are a special type of account in Salesforce that combines the attributes of both accounts and contacts. To sync Marketing Cloud Account Engagement with Person Accounts, you need to follow some additional steps, such as enabling Person Account Syncing, creating Person Accounts instead of Leads, and adding Marketing Cloud Account Engagement data to Person Account layouts12 References: 1: Person Account Syncing with Salesforce2: What To Know Before Using Person Accounts in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement & Salesforce

Mailable Database usage is the number of prospects in an account that are opted in and can receive emails. It does not include prospects that are opted out, in the recycle bin, or have a hard bounce or do not email status. Therefore, the Mailable Database usage for the marketer with 4,000 total prospects, 3,000 of which are opted in, 500 of which are opted out, and 500 of which are in the recycle bin, is 3,000 (A). The other options (B, C, D) are incorrect because they either include prospects that are not mailable or exclude prospects that are mailable.

Visitors are anonymous web browsers who have interacted with your online marketing content, such as your website, landing pages, or custom redirects. Visitors are converted to prospects when they fill out a form or form handler, which captures their email address and other information. Filling out a form or form handler is the only way to convert a visitor to a prospect. Running through completion actions, matching an automation rule, or visiting a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement landing page do not convert visitors to prospects, unless they also fill out a form or form handler on those pages. References: Visitors and Prospects, Forms and Form Handlers

To post a form directly to a third-party platform as well as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement upon submission, LenoxSoft should use the form handler tool in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. This tool allows them to use their own forms while still sending the data to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. They can specify the third-party platform’s URL as the post URL in the form handler settings and map the form fields to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement fields. References: [Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Form Handler]

The two ways that a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect syncs with a Salesforce Lead or Contact record are shared CRM ID and shared email address. A CRM ID is a unique identifier that is assigned to a Lead or Contact record in Salesforce and is synced with the corresponding prospect record in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. A CRM ID ensures that the prospect data is matched with the correct Lead or Contact data and prevents duplicates. A CRM ID is created when a prospect is created or updated in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and a matching Lead or Contact is found or created in Salesforce, or when a Lead or Contact is created or updated in Salesforce and a matching prospect is found or created in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement5. An email address is a required field for both a prospect in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and a Lead or Contact in Salesforce. An email address is used to identify and associate a prospect with a Lead or Contact, and to trigger a sync between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce. An email address is also used to track the prospect’s activities, such as email opens, clicks, form submissions, and page views5. Option B is not correct because a shared assigned user ID is not a way that a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect syncs with a Salesforce Lead or Contact record, but a result of the sync. An assigned user ID is the ID of the user who owns the prospect in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement or the Lead or Contact in Salesforce. The assigned user ID is synced between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce to ensure that the same user owns the prospect and the Lead or Contact, unless there are custom assignment rules in place5. Option D is not correct because a shared tracking pixel is not a way that a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect syncs with a Salesforce Lead or Contact record, but a method of tracking the prospect’s activities. A tracking pixel is a hidden image that is embedded in an email or a web page and sends a request to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement’s server when the email or the web page is opened. A tracking pixel allows Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to record the prospect’s email opens, page views, and other actions

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement writes to Lead and Contact records in Salesforce by default, as these are the primary objects that store prospect information. Opportunity, Account, and Case records are not written to by default, but can be synced using custom fields and connectors1.

 According to the Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Email Basics, there are three mandatory components for an email to be saved in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement: a text version, a sender, and an unsubscribe link. A text version is required for accessibility and deliverability reasons, as some email clients or recipients may not support HTML emails. A sender is required to identify the source of the email and comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. An unsubscribe link is required to allow recipients to opt out of future emails and comply with the GDPR and other privacy regulations. Variable tags, dynamic content, and social posts are optional components that can enhance the personalization and interactivity of the email, but they are not required for saving the email draft. 

Users can be imported into Marketing Cloud Account Engagement from a CSV file or from Salesforce3. You can also manually add users individually or in bulk3. Importing users can help you save time and ensure consistency in your user management3

The preview matches feature in Pardot's automation rule setup is an essential tool for ensuring that the criteria set for a rule accurately targets the intended prospects. Before activating the rule, this feature allows the administrator to verify which prospects currently match the specified criteria without affecting the database or running the rule prematurely. This method is effective for refining and confirming criteria to avoid unintended targeting and to refine the selection process.

 Marketing Cloud Account Engagement offers three webinar connectors: Adobe Connect, ReadyTalk, and GoToWebinar. These connectors allow you to integrate Marketing Cloud Account Engagement with these web conferencing platforms and register prospects for webinar events from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement forms, landing pages, or completion actions. You can also sync webinar data, such as registrations and attendance, between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and these platforms and use them for segmentation, automation, and reporting. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not offer webinar connectors for WebEx or AnyMeeting.

Answer A and E are incorrect because Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not offer webinar connectors for WebEx or AnyMeeting, as explained above. References: [Webinar Connectors], [Set Up Webinar Connectors]

An automation rule is a criteria-based action that is triggered when a prospect matches the rule. By default, an automation rule will only affect a prospect one time, unless you enable the Repeat Rule option. If you enable the Repeat Rule option, the automation rule can match a prospect more than once, as long as they meet the criteria each time. Automation rules do not run every time, since they are evaluated based on a schedule that you can set. References: [Automation Rules], [Repeat Automation Rules]

The recommended data format for the email field to ensure that only a prospect’s company email address with the format of ‘’name@companyname.com" is captured on their form is “Emails not from ISPs and free email providers”. This option will validate that the email address entered by the prospect is not from a common internet service provider (ISP) or a free email provider, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail. This option will help you filter out personal or invalid email addresses and capture more accurate and qualified leads

The prospect’s Audits tab shows the history of changes made to the prospect’s record, such as field updates, list changes, and assignment dates. These data points can help determine what updates were made during the database clean-up project and how they affected the prospects. The Lifecycle Report, the amount of time the prospect spent viewing the website, and the unique clicks are not data points that can be found in the Audits tab, but they can be found in other reports or tabs in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. References Prospect Audits

In order to have both a Lead and a Contact field sync with the same Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect field, two requirements must be met. They are:

• The Lead and Contact fields must have the same API name. The API name is the unique identifier of a field in Salesforce, and it must match exactly between the Lead and Contact objects. For example, if the Lead field has an API name of Lead_Source__c, the Contact field must also have the same API name4
• The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement field must be mapped to the Salesforce field. The mapping is the connection between the fields in Account Engagement and Salesforce, and it allows the data to sync between the two systems. The mapping can be done manually or automatically, depending on the field type and the connector version

There is no limit of social posting connectors you can create in your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account. Social posting connectors allow you to connect your Marketing Cloud Account Engagement account with your social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. You can use social posting connectors to create and schedule social posts from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and track the engagement of your prospects with your social media content. You can create as many social posting connectors as you need, and assign them to different users or business units

 A repeating automation rule is a type of automation rule that allows prospects to match the rule more than once, as long as they meet the criteria again. When creating a repeating automation rule, two considerations must be made: setting how many days must pass before a prospect can match the repeating automation rule again ©, and setting the number of times a prospect can match the repeating automation rule in total (D). These settings help prevent prospects from being over-marketed or receiving duplicate actions. Setting how many prospects are allowed to match the repeating automation rule (A) or setting a date for when prospects can no longer match the repeating automation rule (B) are not available options for repeating automation rules. References: Using Account Engagement Automation Rules vs. Salesforce Flows

 If LenoxSoft has a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form titled “Request a Demo” on their external website, they should use the Form Report to see how many views their form has received (D). The Form Report shows the number of views, submissions, and conversions for each form created in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. The Conversions Report (A) shows the number of prospects who converted from anonymous visitors to identified prospects. The Landing Page Report (B) shows the number of views, submissions, and conversions for each landing page created in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. The Form Handler Report © shows the number of submissions and conversions for each form handler created in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. References: Account Engagement Campaign Reporting

When a user creates and resumes a new automation rule, the rule will continuously look for prospects who match the criteria (B) and evaluate their entire prospect database for matches ©. These are the characteristics of automation rules in Account Engagement, which are different from segmentation rules that run only once. The rule will not run once and must be re-run for prospects to match again (A), nor will it unmatch prospects that no longer match the criteria (D). Unmatching prospects is only possible with dynamic lists, not automation rules. References: Using Account Engagement Automation Rules vs. Salesforce Flows

The list email or email template report deliverability metric that could indicate an unverified sending domain is hard bounces. Hard bounces are permanent delivery failures, such as invalid email addresses or blocked domains. Hard bounces can negatively affect the sender reputation and the email deliverability. One of the possible causes of hard bounces is an unverified sending domain, which means that the email domain used to send emails from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is not authenticated and verified by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. An unverified sending domain can result in the email servers rejecting the emails as spam or phishing attempts. To avoid hard bounces and improve email deliverability, the marketer should verify the sending domain in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement by following the steps in the reference link. Forward count, skimmed percentage, and total queued are not deliverability metrics that could indicate an unverified sending domain. Forward count measures how many recipients forwarded the email to another person. Skimmed percentage measures how many recipients opened the email for less than two seconds. Total queued measures how many emails were waiting to be sent from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. These metrics are not related to the email domain verification or the email delivery failures. References Verify Your Sending Domain

A designer can control the CSS styling for two assets in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement: landing pages and forms. Landing pages are web pages that capture visitor information and generate leads. Forms are web forms that collect visitor information and convert them to prospects. Both landing pages and forms can be customized with CSS to match the branding and design of LenoxSoft. Form handlers and social posts are not assets that can be controlled by CSS in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Form handlers are connectors that allow Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to use external forms on your website. Social posts are messages that can be sent to your social media accounts from Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. References Customize Landing Pages with CSS Customize Forms with CSS

The two actions that can cause an anonymous visitor to convert into an identified prospect are submitting a form on a landing page and clicking on a tracked link in an email. An anonymous visitor is a person who visits your website or interacts with your marketing assets, but whose information you have not captured in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. An identified prospect is a person whose information you have captured in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and whose activities you can track and measure. You can convert an anonymous visitor into an identified prospect by capturing their email address, which is used as the unique identifier for the prospect record. You can capture the email address of an anonymous visitor by:

• Submitting a form on a landing page. A form is a web element that allows you to collect information from your visitors, such as their name, email, or company. A landing page is a web page that you create and host in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to showcase your products or services, offer content, or register for events. You can add a form to a landing page to capture leads or convert visitors into prospects. When an anonymous visitor submits a form on a landing page, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will create a new prospect record with the information provided by the visitor, and associate the previous activities of the visitor with the prospect record4.
• Clicking on a tracked link in an email. A tracked link is a link that is modified by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to track the click activity and redirect the visitor to the original URL. You can use tracked links in your emails, social media posts, or banner ads to measure the engagement of your visitors with your online marketing content. When an anonymous visitor clicks on a tracked link in an email, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will append the email address of the visitor to the URL, and use it to create a new prospect record or update an existing one. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement will also associate the previous activities of the visitor with the prospect record.

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement has a native integration with Google AdWords that allows you to track and measure the effectiveness of your paid search campaigns. You can link your AdWords account to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and import cost data, conversions, and revenue information. You can also use Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to create landing pages and forms for your AdWords campaigns and track the prospects who click on your ads. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement does not have a native integration with Bing, Yahoo, or any other paid search ad platforms

By default, if the information in Salesforce differs from the information in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, the information in Salesforce will override the information in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. This means that Salesforce is the master source of truth for most fields, and any changes made in Salesforce will overwrite the values in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. However, this behavior can be customized for each field in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, by choosing one of the following options: Use Marketing Cloud Account Engagement’s value, Use Salesforce’s value, or Use the most recently updated record. You can also prevent a field from syncing at all by choosing Do not sync. For more details —> 45

The best way to have a thank you email sent after the form on the “Contact Us” page is submitted is to send it using the form’s completion actions. A completion action is an action that Marketing Cloud Account Engagement executes after a prospect successfully completes a desired activity, such as submitting a form or clicking a custom link. You can use completion actions to perform actions on the prospects who complete the activity, such as adding them to a list, assigning them to a user, or changing their field values. You can also use completion actions to send autoresponder emails, which are emails that are automatically sent to a prospect after they complete an activity. Autoresponder emails can be used to thank your prospects, confirm their actions, or provide them with additional information or content. To send a thank you email using the form’s completion actions, you need to go to Marketing > Forms > Forms > Contact Us > Completion Actions > Add New Action > Send Autoresponder Email, and select the email that you want to send. 

 According to the Salesforce documentation, the step type that would be used in engagement studio to add prospects to another engagement studio program’s recipient list is an action. An engagement studio program is a feature that allows users to build, test, and report on automated programs that send targeted emails and perform actions based on prospect behavior and criteria. An engagement studio program consists of steps that define the logic and flow of the program. There are three types of steps: triggers, actions, and rules. A trigger is a step that checks for a prospect’s activity, such as opening an email, clicking a link, or submitting a form. An action is a step that performs an action on a prospect, such as sending an email, adjusting a score, or adding to a list. A rule is a step that checks for a prospect’s attribute or value, such as score, grade, or field value. To add prospects to another engagement studio program’s recipient list, the user can use an action step that adds prospects to a list. The user can then use that list as the recipient list for another engagement studio program. A rule, an end, or a trigger are not the step types that would be used in engagement studio to add prospects to another engagement studio program’s recipient list, as they are related to other functions, such as checking for criteria, ending the program, or checking for activity. References: Salesforce documentation

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.
