To pass the email address of a subscriber to a landing page through a URL parameter from a promotional email securely, the admin should use the CloudPagesURL AMPscript function. This function encrypts the email address and other parameters and generates a unique URL for each subscriber. The landing page can then use the RequestParameter AMPscript function to decrypt the email address and other parameters

This is the same question as Question No: 124. The answer is still A.

To send a promotional email to one million subscribers, NTO should use a data extension as their data structure. A data extension is a table that stores subscriber data in Marketing Cloud. A data extension can store up to 30 million records per data extension and up to 100 million records per account2. A data extension can also support advanced segmentation, personalization, and reporting features for email sends

To ensure sensitive information needed for email sends is not imported and stored in Marketing Cloud, NTO should implement Tokenized Sending4. Tokenized Sending is a feature that allows NTO to send emails using encrypted tokens instead of actual email addresses. The tokens are generated by an external system and stored in a secure database outside of Marketing Cloud. When NTO sends an email, Marketing Cloud sends the token to the external system, which decrypts it and returns the actual email address. This way, NTO can avoid importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud. The other options are incorrect because:

• Transparent Data Encryption. This is a feature that encrypts data at rest in Marketing Cloud using encryption keys managed by Salesforce. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only protects it from unauthorized access5.
• Key Management. This is a feature that allows NTO to manage their own encryption keys for data at rest in Marketing Cloud using an external key management system. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only gives them more control over their encryption keys.
• Field Level Encryption. This is a feature that encrypts specific fields in data extensions using encryption keys managed by NTO. However, this feature does not prevent NTO from importing and storing sensitive information in Marketing Cloud; it only encrypts it within data extensions.

To create and schedule a weekly report with high-level metrics, the Marketing Cloud admin should use Analytics Builder. Analytics Builder allows users to create, view, and share reports and dashboards. The Account Send Summary report shows how many emails were sent in a given time period.

To automatically unsubscribe customers who respond to marketing emails asking to be removed from the mailing list, the admin should take two steps:

• Ensure a Custom response is enabled for Automated Response in Reply Mail Management. This will allow Marketing Cloud to process replies that contain keywords such as unsubscribe, remove, or opt out and update the subscriber status accordingly.
• Verify Reply Mail Management has been enabled in the account. This will allow Marketing Cloud to handle replies to marketing emails and route them to a designated email address or domain.

The recommended best practice for font usage in email is to use a web-safe font for text that closely matches the brand’s custom font. Web-safe fonts are fonts that are commonly available across different operating systems and email clients. Using a web-safe font ensures that the email text will be displayed consistently and legibly to the subscribers

 The Marketing Cloud admin should consider that building desirable sending history and data will be variable based on list size and engagement when sending from the new IP address. A new IP address has no reputation with ISPs and needs to be warmed up gradually by sending emails to engaged and active subscribers. The send volume and frequency should be adjusted according to the list size and engagement level of NTO’s subscribers to avoid being marked as spam or blocked by ISPs. The other options are incorrect because:

• The IP address is on reserve, is already in use, and has an email sending history. This describes an existing IP address, not a new one. An existing IP address already has a reputation with ISPs and does not need to be warmed up.
• Sending in large volumes will alert ISPs the new IP Address is now in use. This is not a consideration, but rather a mistake. Sending in large volumes from a new IP address will raise red flags with ISPs and may result in poor deliverability or blacklisting.
• Migration of larger marketing campaigns is necessary prior to bringing on smaller, triggered campaigns. This is not a consideration, but rather the opposite of what should be done. Migration of smaller, triggered campaigns should be done first before bringing on larger marketing campaigns, as this will help build trust and reputation with ISPs.

Overwrite is the import type that should be used when the data extension contains all current product information and the product catalog is never the same. This import type will delete all existing records in the data extension and replace them with the new records from the CSV file

Data Extension, Audience Studio, API Event, Date Based Event are entry source types for Journey Builder. Entry source types are types of events or data sources that can trigger contacts to enter a journey in Journey Builder. Data Extension is an entry source type that allows contacts from a data extension to enter a journey based on a schedule or an automation. Audience Studio is an entry source type that allows contacts from Audience Studio segments to enter a journey based on a schedule or an automation. API Event is an entry source type that allows contacts to enter a journey based on an API call from an external system or application. Date Based Event is an entry source type that allows contacts from a data extension to enter a journey based on a date field in the data extension, such as birthday or anniversary.
