Let us help you navigate the resources in the eComm wiki so you can get the answer you're looking for when you need it. Select the eComm application for which you have a question (Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, or Cvent) and then view resources by category. Can't find what you need in this wiki? Submit a help ticket at cu.edu/ecomm/submit-help-ticket.
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%.
When faced with a failed send, a send to 0, or failed Data Extension, review the items below. Often, the root cause is something over which you have control rather than a systemic failure in Salesforce or Marketing Cloud. If there is an outage or broad issue, users will be notified as soon as possible.
Person of Interest or POI data is used for Contacts with a non-traditional, close affiliation with CU. As of March 2023, POIs make up 32K+ Contacts. Some examples include Security / Training, Volunteer and Student Athlete.
Reports can often have the same contact listed numerous times, so identifying the unique count is important to confirm the Report criteria is accurate. Having a total 9,000 unique contacts when expecting 250 is an indicator of incorrect criteria and should be investigated.
