Actual exam question for Salesforce's Data-Con-101 exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 5
Luxury Retailers created a segment targeting high value customers that it activates through Marketing Cloud for email communication. The company notices that the activated count is smaller than the segment count.
What is a reason for this?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

The reason for the activated count being smaller than the segment count is A. Data Cloud enforces the presence of Contact Point for Marketing Cloud activations. If the individual does not have a related Contact Point, it will not be activated. A Contact Point is a data model object that represents a channel or method of communication with an individual, such as email, phone, or social media. For Marketing Cloud activations, Data Cloud requires that the individual has a related Contact Point of type Email, which contains a valid email address. If the individual does not have such a Contact Point, or if the Contact Point is missing or invalid, the individual will not be activated and will not receive the email communication. Therefore, the activated count may be lower than the segment count, depending on how many individuals in the segment have a valid email Contact Point.
