Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a Calculated Insight to trigger the activation webhook instantly.
Why it's wrong here
Calculated insights do not directly trigger activation webhooks; activations are scheduled independently.
- ✗
Set the segment publish frequency to manual export.
Why it's wrong here
Manual export requires human intervention and does not run every 15 minutes.
- ✗
Use a Salesforce Flow triggered by Data Actions.
Why it's wrong here
Flows cannot directly publish audience segments to external advertising platforms.
- ✓
Set the activation schedule to run on a streaming or frequent schedule supported by the target.
Why this is correct
Depending on the activation target, segments can be refreshed frequently to meet near real-time requirements.
