Often when a Contact is not receiving emails, there are several logical reasons why, including actions taken by constituents themselves. If you are investigating why a Contact is not receiving communications, review the steps below to troubleshoot.
A crucial role of an eComm Specialist is to create audiences. Before diving into the multi-step process, it's important to have a basic understanding of terminology and the end-user experience.
Want to continually grow an audience you can email via Marketing Cloud? eComm can provide a simple subscription form along with a Salesforce audience that will update automatically with subscribers (thanks to a behind-the-scenes integration). Users can add the subscription URL to their website then send emails to that audience as desired.
One of the eComm specialist’s roles in Cvent includes managing how stakeholders can access Cvent data in real-time, without a steep cost. Follow the steps below to create Portal Users and Publish Reports there for easy access.
Learn how to create a Data Extension as you typically would, then Import the data from a file (rather than 'start' it). Just remember, you'll need the Contact 18 ID to Import successfully.
Learn how you'll be notified about eComm outages and unplanned maintenance. Salesforce users can set their own Salesforce Chatter Notifications and Post in Salesforce Chatter.
By implementing a simplified Marketing Cloud business unit and preference model across all campuses, the eComm team will reduce costs, streamline the constituent experience, and decrease the level of backend management needed. The current model has 151 business units and 373 associated preferences. This project aims to reduce these numbers by at least 50%.
