[All Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Engagement Consultant (MCE-Con-201) Questions]

A new Marketing Cloud (MC) customer wants to now implement a Sales Cloud instance to go along with their MC Instance. The MC has been live for a year now, where the primary key for records has been the Email Address.

Which two options would prevent the customer from duplicating records? Choose 2 answers

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

Two options that would prevent the customer from duplicating records when implementing a Sales Cloud instance are:

Get existing records updated with new Keys sourced from Sales Cloud instance. This option will allow the customer to update their existing records in Marketing Cloud with new keys that match their Sales Cloud records, such as Contact ID or Lead ID. This will ensure data consistency and avoid duplication across both systems.

Continue as normal, as Marketing Cloud Contact Models will dedupe keys by Email Address. This option will allow the customer to continue using Email Address as their primary key in Marketing Cloud, and rely on Marketing Cloud Contact Models to dedupe keys by Email Address when syncing data from Sales Cloud. This will ensure data accuracy and avoid duplication within Marketing Cloud.

Uploading CSV with Migrated Subscriber Keys to All Subscribers will not prevent duplication, as it will create new records in Marketing Cloud with different keys than the existing records. Purging the current records and carrying on with new keys sourced from Sales Cloud will result in data loss and potential compliance issues.

I agree with B, better to have accurate keys from the start.

D seems extreme, why purge when you can update?

C sounds too good to be true, can it really dedupe by email?

Purging records seems drastic, but option D might be necessary if we want to start fresh with the Sales Cloud keys. I’m not entirely sure though.

I’m a bit confused about option C. I thought Marketing Cloud could dedupe by email, but what if there are multiple records with the same email?

I think option B sounds familiar from our practice questions, where updating existing records with new keys was emphasized to avoid duplication.

I remember discussing how important it is to have unique identifiers, but I'm not sure if just relying on email addresses is enough to prevent duplicates.

I think the best approach here would be to upload the migrated subscriber keys to all subscribers (option A). That way, we can maintain the existing email addresses as the primary key, while also incorporating the new keys from the Sales Cloud instance. This seems like the most straightforward way to prevent duplicates.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The question mentions that the Marketing Cloud has been live for a year, so I'm not sure if purging the current records and starting fresh with new keys from Sales Cloud is the best approach (option D). I'll need to review the options more closely.

Okay, let's see. The key here seems to be preventing duplicate records, since the primary key in Marketing Cloud is the email address. I'm leaning towards option B - getting the existing records updated with new keys from the Sales Cloud instance.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the implications of the existing Marketing Cloud setup and how that might impact the new Sales Cloud implementation.

Dialog boxes, scripts, toast pop-ups - there are a lot of options here. I'm not entirely sure which one is the correct Genesys Cloud feature for this scenario. I'll have to think it through step-by-step.

Option C sounds tempting, but I'm not convinced that the Marketing Cloud Contact Models will be able to handle the deduplication properly. Better safe than sorry, I'd say.
