- ✓
Ensure the source data streams, calculated insights (if applicable), and activation schedules are aligned to refresh frequently enough to capture changing attributes.
Why this is correct
Frequent refreshing of data streams and activations ensures downstream messaging uses up-to-date attribute values.
- ✗
Enable real-time streaming for the Marketing Cloud Engagement activation target.
Why it's wrong here
Marketing Cloud Engagement activations are batch-published, not real-time streaming.
- ✗
Hardcode the loyalty tier attributes directly into the Activation Target configuration screen.
Why it's wrong here
Attributes must be mapped dynamically from data model objects, not hardcoded.
- ✗
Rely on Identity Resolution to automatically update attribute values in real-time.
Why it's wrong here
Identity resolution merges profiles; it does not transform or update attribute values on demand.
