A customer is creating a re-engagement campaign. The Campaign only targets subscribers who have had emails fail at send time due to held status within the last 60days. The goal is to send an SMS to the subscribers asking them if they want to update their email address.

What should a consultant recommend to meet the criteria?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

By using Tracking Extract, File Transfer, and Import activities from Automation Studio, you can extract the data from the subscribers who have had emails fail due to held status within the last 60 days[1][2], and then transfer the data into a data extension that can be used as an Entry Source for Journey Builder. This will allow you to create an SMS message that can be sent to the subscribers to ask them to update their email address. Additionally, Automation Studio provides the ability to schedule and automate the process so that the data is regularly updated and the SMS message is sent on a regular basis.

I'm a bit confused by the different entry sources mentioned - data extension, CloudPage, API Event. I'll need to review how each of those works as an entry point for a Journey.

Okay, let's see. The key is that we need to target subscribers who had emails fail to send in the last 60 days. I'm leaning towards option B to use the Tracking Extract and File Transfer activities.

Wait, we're not just going to blast these subscribers with an SMS, are we? I'd recommend Option C so we can give them a chance to update their email address on a CloudPage first.

Haha, the cusCasandraer must be really eager to re-engage these subscribers if they're willing to SMS them! Option A looks good, but I'd want to double-check that the SQL Query can reliably pull the right subscribers.

I would go with Option D. Using an API Event as the entry source gives us more flexibility in how we handle the data, and the SQL Query + File Transfer combo is a solid approach.

I'm not sure about option A. I think option C could also work well by using Data Extension Extract and Import activities to inject subscribers into a CloudPage for Journey Builder. It might provide a more direct approach to reaching out to the subscribers.

I think option A is the best choice because it involves using SQL Query to target the specific subscribers and Import activities to inject them into a data extension for Journey Builder.
