Discuss Salesforce MKT-101 Exam Topic 1 Question 7

ABC Company wants to automate the sending of shipping notices and a customer survey.

* Shipping notices will be sent once a day.

* The shipping file will be placed on the FTP some time after 4:00 p.m.

* The shipping data will be sorted in the Shipping Notice data extension.

* A field in the data extension will contain the shipping date.

* The survey needs to be sent at 9:00 a.m., exactly 10 days after the customer's order ships.

Which workflow would most effectively enable ABC Company to do this?

AAutomation 1: Triggered Import File -> Filter -> Send Email -> Wait-> Filter -> Send Email

BAutomation 1: Scheduled to run daily at 7:00 PM Import File -> Filter -> Send Email -> Wait -> Filter-> Send Email

CAutomation 1: Scheduled to run daily at 7:00 PM Automation 2: Scheduled to run daily at 9:00 AM Import File -> Filter -> Send Email -> Filter -> Send Email

DAutomation 1: Triggered Automation 2: Scheduled to run daily at 9:00 AM Import File -> Filter -> Send Email -> Filter -> Send Email

Suggested Answer: A

If a question is related to automation and it mentions that a file will be available in the FTP always at a specific time, your answer will be an option with a scheduled automation. Scheduled automations are used when you know the time a file is pushed into FTP and it always runs at a scheduled time. If a question is related to automation and there is an uncertainty when the file will be pushed to FTP (ex; a day before last working day / if a date falls on a weekend, it will be available on last Friday etc.), your answer will be an option with a Triggered Automation.

Triggered Automations are fired as soon as a file hits a specific location within FTP. Transfer activity is involved when file is encrypted.

Totally agree with C, it covers both tasks perfectly!

Is it really necessary to send the survey exactly 10 days later?

Wait, how does the timing work for the survey?

I think Automation C is the best choice!

Shipping notices go out daily after 4 PM.

I recall a practice question where timing was crucial. I wonder if Automation A would be too late for the survey since it sends emails after the shipping notices.

I feel like Automation C could work too, since it has two scheduled automations, but I'm not confident about the timing for the survey.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about triggered automations being more effective for immediate responses. Maybe Automation D?

I think Automation B might be the right choice since it runs daily and aligns with the shipping notices being sent after 4 PM.

Okay, the key things I need to focus on are making sure the ID number can't be changed by users and that it's masked except for the last two digits. I think the Shield Platform Encryption and Field Encryption Policy options are the way to go.

Okay, I think I've got it. The `transform()` function is adding 1 to each element in `v1` and storing the result in `v2`. Then the `for_each()` is printing the elements of `v2` in reverse order. The answer should be B.
