 When an engagement studio program is created with an Email Send action step immediately followed by an Email Open trigger step with a 3 day wait, it means that the program will wait for up to 3 days for the prospect to open the email. If the prospect opens the email within the 3 day period, they will immediately progress down the “Yes” path (A). The prospect will not wait for any additional time after opening the email (B), nor will they progress down the “No” path (C, D). References: Engagement Studio Overview

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.

 The way a visitor can convert to a prospect is by submitting a form on a landing page. A visitor is an anonymous person who visits your website, while a prospect is a known person who has an identified email address. A visitor becomes a prospect when they fill out a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form, which captures their email address and other information. A landing page is a web page that contains a form and a call to action, such as downloading a file or registering for an event. When a visitor submits a form on a landing page, they become a prospect and can be tracked and nurtured by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. Viewing an embedded form, visiting a tracked website, or receiving a marketing email are not ways to convert a visitor to a prospect, as they do not capture the visitor’s email address or identify them as a prospect. References [Visitors and Prospects] [Landing Pages and Forms]

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.

The scenario that would convert an anonymous visitor into an identified prospect is submitting a Web2Lead form that is linked to Account Engagement via a form handler ©. This is because a form handler captures the visitor’s information and passes it to Account Engagement, where a new prospect record is created. Creating a Lead in Salesforce which syncs to Account Engagement as a new prospect record (A) will not convert an anonymous visitor, as it does not involve any interaction with the visitor. Scanning the badge of someone who visited a booth at a recent event (B) will not convert an anonymous visitor, as it does not involve any online activity that can be tracked by Account Engagement. Opening an email sent by a sales rep using the Send Account Engagement Email functionality in Salesforce (D) will not convert an anonymous visitor, as it requires the visitor to already have a prospect record in Account Engagement.

 The email in Step 3: Send email “Getting Started” will be received by the prospect on Monday, if the prospect starts the drip program on Wednesday. A drip program is a program that allows you to send a series of emails to your prospects based on a predefined schedule and logic. You can use drip programs to nurture your prospects, educate them about your products or services, or encourage them to take action. You can also use drip programs to send emails only during business hours, which are the hours that you specify for sending emails to your prospects, such as 10am - 4pm M-F. To calculate when the email in Step 3 will be received by the prospect, you need to follow the drip logic and the business hours settings. The drip logic is outlined below:

Start

Step 1: Send email “Welcome.”

Step 2: Pause 3 days.

Step 3: Send email “Getting Started.”

Step 4: Pause 7 days.

Step 5: Send email “Tech Setup.”

Step 6: Pause 7 days.

Step 7: Send email “Complete Configuration.”

End

The business hours settings are:

Only send emails during business hours (10am - 4pm M-F)

Assuming that the prospect starts the drip program on Wednesday at 10am, the email in Step 3 will be received by the prospect on Monday at 10am, following this logic:

Wednesday 10am: The prospect starts the drip program and receives the email in Step 1.

Thursday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days.

Friday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days.

Saturday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days. However, since it is not a business day, the pause does not count.

Sunday 10am: The prospect is still in Step 2, which pauses for 3 days. However, since it is not a business day, the pause does not count.

Monday 10am: The prospect completes Step 2, which pauses for 3 days, and moves to Step 3, which sends the email “Getting Started.”

Therefore, the email in Step 3 will be received by the prospect on Monday at 10am. 

The correct way to use a custom account field in Salesforce for segmentation in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is to create a custom account field in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and map it to the account field in Salesforce. This will allow you to sync the data between the two systems and use the custom field as a segmentation criterion in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. You can create a custom account field in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement by going to Settings > Object and Field Configuration > Prospect Account Fields > Add Custom Field. Then, you can map it to the corresponding account field in Salesforce by selecting it from the drop-down menu

You can use an automation rule to opt out prospects by changing their field value of ‘Do Not Email’ to ‘true’. This will prevent them from receiving any email communication from you. You cannot use an automation rule to change the field value to ‘Opt-out’, since that is not a valid option for the ‘Do Not Email’ field. You also cannot use an automation rule to opt out prospects by changing any other field value, since the ‘Do Not Email’ field is the only one that controls the opt-out status of prospects.

The difference between a visitor and a prospect is that a visitor is an anonymous person who visits your website, while a prospect is a known person who has an identified email address. A visitor becomes a prospect when they fill out a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form, click on a tracked link in an email, or are manually imported into Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. A prospect does not necessarily have an opportunity, a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement form submission, or an assigned user, but a visitor does not have any of these either. References Visitors and Prospects

 One way a sales rep can convert a visitor to a prospect is by manually associating the visitor with a prospect. A visitor is an anonymous person who visits your website, while a prospect is a known person who has an identified email address. A sales rep can use the [Visitor Activity page] in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to see the visitors who have interacted with your website, and manually associate them with a prospect if they have an email address. This will convert the visitor to a prospect and allow the sales rep to follow up with them. The other options are not ways to convert a visitor to a prospect. Giving the visitor a phone call, increasing the visitor’s score, or walking the visitor through a demo are ways to engage with a prospect, but they do not identify the visitor’s email address or associate them with a prospect. 

According to the Salesforce documentation, the two benefits of the engagement studio testing experience are: B) Visualizing a prospect’s possible paths, and D) Measuring a specific step’s performance. The engagement studio testing experience is a feature that allows users to test and troubleshoot their engagement studio programs before launching them. The testing experience can help users to: Visualize a prospect’s possible paths: The testing experience can show the user how a prospect can move through the program based on different scenarios and outcomes. The user can see the positive, negative, and neutral paths that a prospect can take after each step, and the actions and emails that the prospect will receive. The user can also see the number of prospects that are expected to take each path based on the current recipient list. Measuring a specific step’s performance: The testing experience can show the user the performance metrics of each step, such as the number and percentage of prospects who have completed, skipped, or are waiting for the step. The user can also see the email metrics of each email step, such as the number and percentage of prospects who have opened, clicked, or unsubscribed from the email. The user can use these metrics to evaluate and optimize the effectiveness of each step. Evaluating email template options for the program or understanding the timeline of the program are not benefits of the engagement studio testing experience, as they are related to other aspects of the program creation, such as choosing the email content or setting the wait times.

 To view a prospect’s Marketing Cloud Account Engagement landing page submission activity on the syncing contact in Salesforce, an Administrator can use the following features:

The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Activities Visualforce page, which shows a detailed history of the prospect’s interactions with Marketing Cloud Account Engagement assets, including landing pages, forms, emails, and custom redirects.

The Salesforce Activities section, which shows the tasks and events that are logged for the contact, including Marketing Cloud Account Engagement landing page submissions. References: [Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Activities Visualforce Page], [Salesforce Activities]

 You can set up Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to automatically send weekly reports on the keywords and competitor monitoring that you have set up on your account. This is a feature of Marketing Cloud Account Engagement’s Search Marketing, which allows you to track and optimize your website’s SEO performance and compare it with your competitors. You can enable the weekly search marketing email in your user preferences, and choose which metrics and competitors you want to include in the report56 References: 5: Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Competitor Monitoring: Spy on Competitor SEO Health6: Understanding Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Notifications for User Email Preferences

Mailable prospects are prospects who have opted in to receive email communication from you and have not bounced or unsubscribed. You can find the number of mailable prospects in your database by navigating to the prospect list and selecting “Mailable Prospects” from the dropdown menu. You can also filter the list by tags, campaigns, or custom fields to segment your mailable prospects. References: [Mailable Prospects], [Filter Prospects]

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.

 The main cause of a sync from Salesforce to Account Engagement is making field changes to a Lead or Contact record (D). This will trigger a sync of the updated fields to the corresponding prospect record in Account Engagement. Updating a formula field in Salesforce (A) will not cause a sync, as formula fields are not supported by Account Engagement. Updating a field on a Contact record that does not have an email address (B) will not cause a sync, as email address is a required field for syncing. Opening a one to one email © will not cause a sync, as it is not a field change event. References: What Causes a Prospect to Sync from Salesforce to Account Engagement?

The best way to accomplish this scenario is to select General Address for the Custom Reply-To Address when sending the list email. This option allows the marketer to specify any email address as the reply-to address, regardless of the sender or the prospect owner. In this case, the marketer can enter bdr@lenoxsoft.com as the reply-to address, so that any prospect replies will be directed to the business development reps. Option A is not correct because selecting Specific User for the Sender will not allow the marketer to send the email on behalf of the assigned sales users, but only from a specific Marketing Cloud Account Engagement user. Option B is not correct because selecting General User for the Sender will not allow the marketer to send the email on behalf of the assigned sales users, but only from a general address that is not associated with any Marketing Cloud Account Engagement user. Option C is not correct because selecting Assigned User for the Custom Reply-To Address will not allow the marketer to direct the prospect replies to bdr@lenoxsoft.com, but only to the user who owns the prospect record.

According to the Salesforce documentation, the answer is true. You can see the score, grade, assigned user and recent interaction within the Insight section of the Prospect Record. The Insight section is a feature that shows the key information and metrics of a prospect in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. The Insight section can be accessed from the Prospects tab in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and it can show different data for the prospect, such as score, grade, assigned user, or recent interaction. The score is a numerical value that indicates the level of interest and engagement of a prospect, based on their activities, such as opening an email, clicking a link, or submitting a form. The grade is a letter value that indicates the level of fit of a prospect, based on their attributes, such as industry, job title, location, or company size. The assigned user is the user who is responsible for the prospect, and who can view and edit the prospect’s information. The recent interaction is the latest action or event that the prospect has performed or received, such as opening an email, clicking a link, or registering for a webinar. The Insight section can help users to quickly and easily view the most important information and metrics of a prospect, and to take actions based on the data. References: Salesforce documentation

The insight that the Click-Through Rate report provides the template designer is that low click rates encourage the user to optimize content or link placement in other email sends. The Click-Through Rate report shows the percentage of email recipients who clicked on one or more links in the email. This metric indicates how engaging and relevant the email content and links are for the prospects. If the click rates are low, it means that the prospects are not interested in the email content or links, or they are not able to find them easily. The template designer can use this insight to improve the content or link placement in future email sends, such as by using more compelling calls to action, adding more value propositions, or making the links more visible and accessible. The other options are not insights that the Click-Through Rate report provides. Email clicks on the text version of the email are not tracked by Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, so they do not affect the click rates. High click rates do not indicate that the email subject line should be the focus of the email content, as the subject line is more related to the open rates. High open rates do not indicate that prospects are interacting with the content, as they only measure how many prospects opened the email, not how they engaged with it. References [Email Metrics Glossary]
