Salesforce CDP setup guide

The following provides guidance on Salesforce CDP setup required for the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case. A few of these steps can be omitted if deploying the FINS Salesforce CDP System API independently of the use case.

Contents

CDP provisioning

If Salesforce CDP instance is already provisioned, skip this section. If not follow the steps to provision:

  1. Log in to your Salesforce CDP instance with the link provided in your admin email and use the credentials provided. If this was deployed in your existing Salesforce instance, please use your current Salesforce Admin password.
  2. Click the Setup gear icon and then CDP Setup.
    • If you don’t see this option, either refresh your page or log out and back in with your admin user credentials.
  3. Click Get Started to provision the Salesforce CDP Instance and it can take a few minutes. Correct any issues reported and finish the setup. The Salesforce CDP instance is considered to be successfully set up if there is a green tick mark for all the steps and you do not need to do anything.

Create data connectors

Connectors are specialized data streams that communicate with external sources to transmit data into a Salesforce CDP data source object. Salesforce CDP has connectors for Marketing Cloud Email Studio, MobileConnect, MobilePush, Marketing Cloud Data Extensions, Salesforce CRM, Ingestion API, Interaction Studio, and for data outside Salesforce via cloud storage providers.

Use case requirements

The Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case uses the following connectors:

  • Salesforce CRM - to connect data from a Salesforce CRM instance to CDP.
  • Marketing Cloud - to receive segmentation results for marketing purposes.
  • Ingestion API - to connect data from external source systems like Snowflake, Databricks, and Amazon S3 via MuleSoft’s Salesforce CDP connector.

Note: This use case assumes that the connected Salesforce CRM instance has already been configured to support the Customer Sync Process required by many of the accelerator's use cases. In particular, it relies upon the existence of unique Global Party Identifiers for identity resolution purposes. Refer to the Salesforce Financial Services Cloud setup guide for more details.

Salesforce CRM Connector

In Salesforce CDP, you can establish a connection to other Salesforce orgs built upon the CRM core. Follow the below steps to create one of these connections.

  1. In Salesforce CDP, select the Setup gear icon and then CDP Setup.
  2. Select Salesforce CRM from the left navigation underCONFIGURATION.
  3. To connect a Salesforce org to Salesforce CDP, click New.
  4. Click the Connect button beside the 'Connect Another Org' section to connect to an external Salesforce org (for example, Salesforce FSC Banking).
  5. Enter your user credentials to establish the connection with Salesforce CDP.
  6. After you connect your Salesforce org , you can view the connection details under Connectors.
    • Connector Name: The name of the Salesforce org that is connected to Salesforce CDP.
    • Connector Type: Identifies the type of data connection as Salesforce CRM.
    • Status: Shows the org’s current status.
    • Org Id: The identifier of the connected org.
    • Updated: The date and timestamp of when the Salesforce org was connected to Salesforce CDP.

Once the connection is established, the Salesforce CDP admin can either use bundles that can automatically deploy data or set up their own data streams; we will walk through the latter approach, below.

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, hover over the Connector Name field of the new connection and click the pencil icon to change the name of the Connector to Salesforce FSC Banking. This is the name that will appear under the Salesforce Org dropdown while creating a new Data Stream.

Marketing Cloud Connector

A Marketing Cloud Connector is required in order to use Marketing Cloud as either a source of data or a target for segmentation results. Below is a brief summary of steps to follow - consult the online documentation for more details.

  1. Select Marketing Cloud from the left navigation menu in the CDP Setup app.
  2. Enter the Credentials to authenticate your Marketing Cloud account. You can proceed with the next step in the setup only if the authentication is successful.
  3. Data Source setup - this step is optional, and only needs to be set up if you are planning to ingest data from Marketing Cloud into Salesforce CDP. This step is not required for the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case.
  4. Select Business Units to activate - select the business units to publish segments to Marketing Cloud.

Ensure all configured items show a green circle before using the connector.

Ingestion API Connector

You can push data from an external system into Salesforce CDP via the Ingestion API. This RESTful API offers two interaction patterns: bulk and streaming. The streaming pattern accepts incremental updates to a data set as those changes are captured, while the bulk pattern accepts CSV files in cases where data syncs occur periodically. The same data stream can accept data from the streaming and the bulk interaction.

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, the external systems Snowflake, Databricks, and Amazon S3 contain data to be pushed to CDP through MuleSoft’s Salesforce CDP connector using the Ingestion API. The schema file for the Ingestion API can be found in the FINS Salesforce CDP System API implementation template. This schema includes definitions for the following objects:

  • FinancialAccount
  • FinancialTransaction
  • ExternalFinancialAccount
  • WebEngagement

Download the template in order to access the schema file before proceeding with the creation of an Ingestion API in Salesfoce CDP.

Create an Ingestion API Connector

Follow the steps below to setup and configure an ingestion API to push data from external systems.

  1. In Salesforce CDP, select CDP Setup from the Setup gear icon.
  2. Select Ingestion API from the left navigation underCONFIGURATION.
  3. Click New, enter a name for the API source (for example, 'FINS_Banking-Data-Connector'), then click Save.
  4. On the details page for the new connector, you must upload a schema file in OpenAPI (OAS) format with a .yaml file extension. The schema file describes how data transferred via the API is structured.
    Note: Ingestion API schemas have set requirements - review the schema requirements below if having issues uploading the schema.
  5. Click Upload Schema and navigate to the location of the file you want to use. Select the file and click Open. For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, the schema file mule-cdp-connector-schema.yaml is available under src/test/resources/cdp-schema of the FINS Salesforce CDP System API implementation template.
  6. Preview all the detected objects and their attributes in your schema.
  7. Click Save.

The connector page should reflect the updated status. Once the schema file is uploaded, data streams can be created to ingest data from source systems via the new Ingestion API Connector.

Create Connected App for Salesforce CDP Ingestion API

Before you can send data into Salesforce CDP using Ingestion API via Mulesoft’s Salesforce CDP Connector, you must configure a Connected App. A brief summary of the steps to follow are given here - refer to the online documentation for more details on creating a connected app.

  1. From the Setup app, navigate to the Apps->App Manager page.
  2. Click the New Connected App button in the top right.
  3. Enter a connected app name (for example, 'FINS Salesforce CDP System API').
  4. Enter a valid contact email address.
  5. Select the Enable OAuth Settings option and enter 'http://localhost' as the Callback URL.
  6. Under the 'Selected OAuth Scopes' section, add the following scopes from the Available OAuth Scopes list:
    • Manage Customer Data Platform Calculated Insight data (cdp_calculated_insight_api)
    • Manage Customer Data Platform Identity Resolution (cdp_identityresolution_api)
    • Manage Customer Data Platform Ingestion API data (cdp_ingest_api)
    • Manage Customer Data Platform profile data (cdp_profile_api)
    • Manage user data via APIs (api)
    • Perform ANSI SQL queries on Customer Data Platform data (cdp_query_api)
    • Perform requests on your behalf at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)
  7. Click Save and then Done to create the connected app.

After creating the connected app, click the Manage Consumer Details button from the app detail page, confirm your identity, and then record the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret values: you will need these to configure the FINS Salesforce CDP System API implementation template for deployment. This application uses the MuleSoft Connector for Salesforce CDP, which provides customers a pipeline to send data into Salesforce CDP. Refer to the Salesforce CDP Connector documentation for additional details on configuration and available operations.

Schema requirements

To create an ingestion API source in Salesforce CDP, the schema file you upload must meet specific requirements:

  • Uploaded schemas have to be in valid OpenAPI format with a .yml or .yaml extension. OpenAPI version 3 is supported (3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2).
  • Objects cannot have nested objects.
  • Each schema must have at least one object. Each object must have at least one field.
  • Objects cannot have more than 1000 fields.
  • Objects cannot be longer than 80 characters.
  • Object names must contain only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, -. No unicode characters.
  • Field names must contain only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _, -. No unicode characters.
  • Field names cannot be any of these reserved words: dateid, location_id, dat_account_currency, dat_exchange_rate, pacing_period, pacing_end_date, rowcount, version. Field names cannot contain string .
  • Field names cannot exceed 80 characters.
  • Fields meet the following type and format:
    • For text or boolean type: string
    • For number type: number
    • For date type: string; format: date-string
  • Object names cannot be duplicated; case-insensitive.
  • Objects cannot have duplicate field names; case-insensitive.
  • Date strings in your object payloads must be in ISO 8601 UTC Zulu with formatyyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z.

When updating your schema, be aware that:

  • Existing field data types cannot be changed.
  • Upon updating an object, all the existing fields for that object must be present.
  • Your updated schema file only includes changed objects, so you don’t have to provide a comprehensive list of objects each time.
  • A date field must be present for objects that are intended for profile or engagement category. Objects of type other do not impose this same requirement.

Use this example schema for reference.

Create data streams

Data streams are the connections and associated data ingested into Customer Data Platform. Salesforce CDP includes many data streams that can operate on different refresh schedules. Check Data Stream Schedule in Salesforce CDP to know about how and when these data streams update.

Create Salesforce CRM data streams

To begin the flow of data from a Salesforce CRM data source (such as your Salesforce FSC Banking instance) into Salesforce CDP, you must create a data stream to ingest standard and custom objects and fields. Any Salesforce org built upon the CRM core can be connected.

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, a separate data stream for each of the following objects must be created to pull required data from your Salesforce FSC instance:

Object in Salesforce CRMName of the DataStream
AccountFINS_Banking-Account
ContactFINS_Banking-Contact

Here are the minimum set of fields to be selected for each object:

AccountContact
Account DescriptionAccount ID
Account IDBusiness Phone
Account NameContact Id
Account NumberCreated Date
Account TypeEmail
Active LeadsFirst Name
Created DateGlobal Individual Id*
EmailLast Modified Date
First NameLast Name
Global Individual Id*
Global Party Id*
Last Modified Date
Last Name
Mailing City
Mailing Country
Mailing Latitude
Mailing Longitude
Mailing State/Province
Mailing Street
Mailing Zip/Postal Code
Mobile
Parent Account ID

*These custom fields should have been added to the source Salesforce instance in support of the Customer Sync process.

Create CRM data streams

To create a data stream from a Salesforce CRM data source:

  1. In Salesforce CDP, navigate to Data Streams and click New.
  2. Select the Salesforce CRM data source and click Next.
  3. To create your data stream, select a Salesforce org (if you have only one Salesforce org connected to Salesforce CDP, it will be selected by default.
  4. Click the All Objects button, select the target object to sync (e.g., Account), and click Next.
  5. For Category, select the Profile option.
  6. Review the fields to include in your data stream. By default, all fields are preselected with the total number of fields available for the object is shown in parentheses.
  7. Click Next and fill in the deployment details:
    • Data Stream Name: Defaults to Object Label and Salesforce org ID, but can be edited.
    • Ongoing Refresh Settings: Frequency and timing of new data retrieval. The Frequency is hourly and is set automatically.
  8. Click Deploy to create the Salesforce CRM data stream.

Repeat the above steps for each object to ingest from a Salesforce instance (Account and Contact).

Note: If you are prompted with an error stating those objects cannot be added, you might need to Enable Object and Field Permissions to Access Salesforce CRM in Salesforce CDP. See below for further details.

Add formula fields

Once the data streams for standard objects have been created, we need to add a formula field to identify whether or not the associated party represents an Individual. This is required for proper identity resolution and segmentation for the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case. Repeat the following steps for both data streams created above:

  1. Click the data stream from the 'Data Streams' list view to bring up the details page.
  2. Select the New Formula Field action from the top right action list. You may need to click the 'more' down arrow to find the action.
  3. Enter the following values:
    • Field Label: PartyType
    • Field API Name: PartyType (should default automatically)
    • Formula Return Type: Text
    • Transformation Formula: IF(ISEMPTY(sourceField['Global_Individual_Id__pc']), 'None', 'Individual')
      Note: The name of the source field may be Global_Individual_Id__c for the 'Contact' object.
  4. Use the Test button to validate the formula output for both empty and non-empty values.
  5. Click Save to save the new formula field.
Update object permissions

If you encounter object access errors in Salesforce CDP when creating data streams, try adding permissions for the objects and their fields in the source Salesforce instance.

  1. Login to the Salesforce org containing the objects and fields you want to ingest into Salesforce CDP
  2. From the Setup page, enter 'Permission' in the Quick Find box and select Permission Sets.
  3. Select the Customer Data Platform Salesforce Connector Integration permission set.
    Note: The permission set is available only after you connect your CRM org to Salesforce CDP.
  4. From Apps, select Object Settings.
  5. Select the object to ingest into Salesforce CDP (e.g., Account).
  6. To change object permissions, click Edit.
  7. Enable Read and View All permissions for the object and Read Access for each field. Use the table above for reference.
  8. Click Save.

Repeat these steps for all objects and fields you want to ingest into Salesforce CDP. For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, this includes the Account and Contact objects.

Create an Ingestion API data stream

If you have not already done so, create the required Ingestion API Connector. Once the connector is available, we can create data streams from the source objects consumed via the API.

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, we create a data stream by selecting all the objects in the schema of Ingestion API. Below are the values that need to be used for creation of data stream.

Source Object in Ingestion APICategoryPrimary KeyName of the DataStream
ExternalFinancialAccountProfileindividualIdFINS_Banking-Data-Connector-ExternalFinancialAccount
FinancialAccountProfileglobalAccountIdFINS_Banking-Data-Connector-FinancialAccount
FinancialTransactionProfileglobalTransactionIdFINS_Banking-Data-Connector-FinancialTransaction
WebEngagementProfilesessionIdFINS_Banking-Data-Connector-WebEngagement
Create Ingestion data stream
  1. In Salesforce CDP, select Data Streams and click New.
  2. Select Ingestion API and click Next.
  3. Select the connector you configured earlier from the dropdown.
  4. Select all the objects found in the schema as per the above table and click Next.
  5. In the 'New Data Stream' dialog, use the details in above table to configure each object by selecting the object shown under Objects to Configure:
    • Primary Key: A true Primary Key needs to be leveraged for CDP (example - globalAccountId for Financial Account). If one does not exist, you will need to create a Formula Field for the Primay Key.
    • Category: Choose the Profile option.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Once the dialog has closed, click Next.
  8. On the final summary screen, review the list of data streams that Salesforce CDP created and click Deploy.

Once deployed the view refreshes to show all recently viewed data streams. Map the data for the data stream before use. Wait up to one hour for your data to appear in your data stream.

Add formula fields

As for the standard objects, we need to add a formula field to each of the Ingestion API objects to identify whether or not the associated party represents an Individual. This is required for proper identity resolution and segmentation for the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case. Repeat the following steps for each of the data streams created above:

  1. Click the data stream from the 'Data Streams' list view to bring up the details page.
  2. Select the New Formula Field action from the top right action list. You may need to click the 'more' down arrow to find the action.
  3. Enter the following values:
    • Field Label: PartyType
    • Field API Name: PartyType (should default automatically)
    • Formula Return Type: Text
    • Transformation Formula: IF(ISEMPTY(sourceField['individualId']), 'None', 'Individual')
      Note: Use primaryAccountOwner as the source field for the 'FinancialAccount' object, and accountOwnerId for the 'FinancialTransaction' object
  4. Use the Test button to validate the formula output for both empty and non-empty values.
  5. Click Save to save the new formula field.

Note: Formula fields for custom objects can either be defined at the time of data stream creation or added later.

Data modeling and mapping

After creating your data streams, you must associate your Data Source Objects (DSOs) to Data Model Objects (DMOs). Only mapped fields and objects with relationships can be used for Segmentation and Activation.

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, the following table lists the high-level Data Streams to Data Model Object mappings:

Data Stream NameCustom Data Model Object (DMO)Standard Data Model Object (DMO)
FINS_Banking-AccountAccount, Contact Point Address, Contact Point Email, Contact Point Phone, Individual, Party Identification
FINS_Banking-ContactAccountContact, Contact Point Address, Contact Point Email, Contact Point Phone, Individual, Party Identification
FINS_Banking-Data-Connector-ExternalFinancialAccountFINS_Banking_ExternalFinancialAccountContact Point Email, Individual, Party Identification
FINS_Banking-Data-Connector-FinancialAccountFINS_Banking_FinancialAccountIndividual, Party Identification
FINS_Banking-Data-Connector-FinancialTransactionFINS_Banking_FinancialTransactionIndividual, Party Identification
FINS_Banking-Data-Connector-WebEngagementFINS_Banking_WebEngagementContact Point Email, Individual, Party Identification

Note: The names given to DMO are critical as they are used for Calculated Insights, which in turn are used to create Segments in later steps.

The default schemas for each object are given in the following sections. Notice the inclusion of the PartyType formula field.

Create the data mappings

When creating data mappings where a Custom Data Model Object (DMO) target is required, this should be done before adding the standard data model objects. Follow the appropriate set of steps below as per the table above. For example, the FINS_Banking-Data-Connector-FinancialTransaction data stream requires the Custom FINS_Banking_FinancialTransaction DMO as well as the Standard Individual and Party Identification DMOs.

When Custom DMO required
  1. Click into the target data stream from the Data Streams view.
  2. On the Data Stream detail page, click Start Data Mapping.
  3. Ensure Visual View is selected for mapping your data.
  4. Click Select Objects and select the Custom Data Model tab.
  5. If the DMO required for the data stream already exists:
    • Select the object by clicking the plus sign. Ensure a green checkmark appears.
    • Click Done to generate the default mappings.
  6. If the required DMO does not exist:
    • Click on the New Custom Object box.
    • Copy the DMO value from the above table into the Object Label field.
    • Set Object API Name to the same value if not defaulted.
    • Ensure Profile is selected as the Object Category.
    • Click Save to generate the default mappings.
  7. Click Save & Close to return to the stream detail page.
  8. Click the Review Mappings link at the bottom of the 'Data Mapping' section.
  9. Click the pencil icon button beside the 'Data Model entities' group on the right.
  10. Under the Standard Data Model tab, select the objects that need to be mapped (as per the table above) by clicking the plus sign button.
  11. Click Done to save the object selections.
  12. Continue to the Standard object mappings section below.
When Custom DMO not required
  1. Click into the target data stream from the Data Streams view.
  2. On the Data Stream detail page, click Start Data Mapping.
  3. Ensure Visual View is selected for mapping your data.
  4. Click Select Objects and select the `Standard Data Model Objects that need to be mapped (as per the table above) by clicking the plus sign button.
  5. Click Done to save the object selections and continue to the Standard object mappings section below.
Standard object mappings

The mappings for custom objects should automatically be generated when selected; the mappings for Standard objects, however, must be done manually. Follow these steps, using the data mapping tables below for reference.

  1. Click into the target data stream from the Data Streams view.
  2. Click the Review Mappings link at the bottom of the 'Data Mapping' section.
  3. On the Data Streams mapping canvas, you can see all fields in both your DSO and target DMO(s).
  4. Map all fields from the DSO to the target DMO(s) as per the mapping tables below. To map one field to another, first expand the Unmapped section of the target DMO on the right. Click on a field in the DSO on the left and connect it to the DMO on the right by clicking on the target field. For example, click on the PartyType field in the DSO on the left and then click in on the Party Identification Type field in the Party Identification DMO on the right. When you complete the mapping for a DMO, collapse the Unmappedsection to save space.
  5. Once the mappings have been completed for all DMOs, click the Save button to save the changes. If you get an error related to primary keys, double-check your mappings. Ignore 'Identity Resolution' warnings for now.
  6. For each DMO mapped, click on the 'Link' icon to bring up the Object relationships dialog for the DMO and ensure the relationships are seen as per the Data Relationships between DMOs table below. If not, click the New button to add the required relationship.
  7. Click Save and Close to record the mapping and relationship changes.

Repeat the above steps for all the Data Streams required for the use case. Note that there is no need to re-verify relationships between Standard DMOs once you have already confirmed them for a given object; relationships between Custom DMOs and Standard DMOs will usually need to be created manually.

Identity Resolution

Use Identity Resolution to match and reconcile data about people into a comprehensive view of your customer called a unified profile. Identity Resolution uses matching and reconciliation rulesets to link the most relevant data from all the associated profiles of each unified profile. Identity Resolution is powered by rulesets to create unified profiles in Salesforce CDP.

Creating Identity Resolution rulesets can only be done after entities have been mapped and relationships established. Refer to the following links for additional anformation relating to Identity Resolution:

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, we will create Custom Match Rules leveraging the Identification Number field of the Party Identification Object for a match on Global Party Id, followed by the Normalized Email Address rule. For example:

fins-cdp-setup-identity-match-rules.png

Here are the details of the custom match rule:

fins-cdp-setup-id-match-rules-party-id.png

And here are the details of the email match rule:

fins-cdp-setup-id-match-rules-email-address.png

Follow the steps below to create the required Identity Resolution rules, starting with the creation of the ruleset itself.

  1. Go to the 'Identity Resolutions' tab in the main nav bar.
  2. Click the New button in the upper right corner.
  3. Select Individual as the Primary Data Model Object. Do not add a Ruleset ID at this time.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Enter a descriptive value for Ruleset Name (for example, 'FINS_Ruleset') and provide a brief description (optional).
  6. Observe the list of Ruleset Output Objects and click Save to save the ruleset.
  7. From the ruleset details page, click the Configure button on the Ruleset Properties tab.
  8. Click the Configure button next to Match Rule 1 to configure your Match Rules.
  9. Select the Custom Rule option and click Next.
  10. Create the 'Global Party ID Match' rule with the following values, as per the above diagram:
    • Object: Party Identification
    • Field: Identification Number
    • Match Method: Exact
    • Party Identification Type: Individual
    • Party Identification Name: Individual
    • Match Rule Name: Global Party ID Match
  11. Click Next to save the new rule and then click Add Match Rule to create another custom rule.
  12. Use the following values for the 'Email Match' rule, as per the above diagram:
    • Object: Contact Point Email

    • Match Method: Exact
    • Match Rule Name: Email Address Match
  13. Click Save to save the new ruleset.

The new ruleset will be published after being saved. Once CDP runs the profile reconciliation process, review the Resolution Summary information and the 'Processing History' tab to ensure the Identity Resolution rules are working correctly. You can also add applicable Individual Reconciliation Rules, if desired.

Calculated Insights

The Calculated Insights feature lets you define and calculate multi-dimensional metrics from your entire digital state stored in Salesforce CDP.

Calculated Insights can be built using the Calculated Insights Builder, ANSI SQL, Salesforce Package, or Streaming Insights. Details on all options and use cases can be found in the CDP Help Documentation. Also check Processing Calculated Insights for the Calculated Insights schedule.

Once created, Calculated Insights are available in the Attribute Library. You can also confirm and validate Calculated Insights via Data Explorer.

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, we will create Calculated Insights to gain visibility across our Financial Accounts (both internal and external) and Customer engagements in conjunction with data from the unified Customer profiles. The creation of the Calculated Insights detailed below is specific to meet the requirements of Segments mentioned for the use case.

Cross-selling money market accounts insight

For the Cross-selling money market account segment (created in later steps), we need to create two Calculated Insights:

  1. Cross-sell Account Summary Metrics, which provides metrics on Account Balances, Age of the Accounts.

Create and activate segments

Use segmentation to break down your data into useful segments to understand, target, and analyze your customers. You can create segments on any entities from your data model, and then publish them on a chosen schedule or as needed.

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, we need to create Segments on Individual for both the Cross-selling and Upselling scenarios.

Cross-selling money market accounts segment

For this segment, we aggregrate data, using the Calculated Insights created earlier, and then filter the data using criteria defined for the use case. Create the segment as follows:

  1. Select the 'Segments' tab in the main nav bar
  2. Click the New button to create a new entry.
  3. Select Individual as the object to segment on.
  4. Enter Cross-selling money market account as the segment name.
  5. Leave the Publish Schedule option as Don't refresh for now and click Save.
  6. Once the segment has been created you will see an entry for Individual under the 'Direct Attributes' section in the left navigation. Expand this entry to reveal all available attributes - including those from the Calculated Insights we created earlier.
  7. Select the Cross-sell Account Summary Metrics entry under 'Calculated Insights', then drag and drop the all_account_balances__c attribute over to the main canvas area (where it shows 'Add another Attribute here').
  8. For the Operator, select Is Greater Than or Equal To and key in 3000 for the Value. Click Done to save the condition.
  9. Next, drag the max_age__c attribute over and drop it on the canvas as well.
  10. For the Operator, select Is Greater Than and key in 12 for the Value. Click Done to save.
  11. Press the back arrow button on the header of the insight attribute list to return to the full list, then select the Cross-sell Account Type Metrics insight.
  12. Add the count_deposit_account_type__c attribute as another condition, with Is Greater Than or Equal To as the Operator and 1 for the Value.
  13. Click the Add Dimension button to add a dimension for the attribute deposit_account_type__c, with Contains as the Operator and SAVINGS as the value.
  14. Click Done to save the new condition and its dimension.
  15. Finally, add the count_deposit_account_type__c attribute again as a new condition with Has No Value as the Operator.
  16. Add a dimension to this condition as well, with deposit_account_type__c as the attribute, Contains as the Operator, and MONEY_MARKET as the Value.
  17. Click Done to save the new condition, then click Save to save the segment itself.

The completed segment should look something like this:

fins-cdp-setup-segment-cross-sell.png

Once the segment has run successfully, and produces the expected results, remember to go back and update the segment to change the Publish Schedule to automatically run periodically. If you need to make further changes to the segment, it is best to disable the schedule first.

Upselling mortgage account segment

For this segment, we again aggregrate data using the Calculated Insights created earlier and then filter the data with the criteria required for the use case. For a more detailed set of steps required to create a segment, refer to the Cross-selling segment, above.

  1. Click the New button from the 'Segments' list to create a new entry.
  2. Select Individual as the object to segment on, enter Upselling mortgage account as the segment name, and click Save.
  3. Expand the list of attributes for the Upsell Account Summary Metrics calculated insight.
  4. Add a condition for the attribute total_balance__c, with Is Greater Than or Equal To as the Operator and 10000 as the value. Click Done to save the condition.
  5. Add a condition for the time_as_client__c attribute, with an Operator of Is Greater Than and and a value of 36 (for the age of the account in months). Click Done to save the condition.
  6. Switch the current attributes list to the Upsell Account Summary Metrics calculated insight.
  7. Add a condition for the count__c attribute, selecting Is Greater Than or Equal To as the Operator and entering 1 as the Value.
  8. Click the Add Dimension button, select account_type__c as the Attribute, Contains as the Operator, and enter MONEY as the Value. Click Done.
  9. Finally, switch the current attributes list to the Upsell Web Engagement Metrics calculated insight.
  10. Add a condition for total_time_spent__c, with the Operator Is Greater Than or Equal To and the value 20 (for time spent in minutes).
  11. Add a dimension on channel_type__c, with Contains as the Operator and real estate as the Value.
  12. Click Done to save the new condition, then click Save to save the segment itself.

The completed segment should look something like this:

fins-cdp-setup-segment-up-sell.png

Again, remember to change the publish schedule once you are satisfied with the segmentation results.

Activation Targets

You create activation targets to build and activate data segments with Salesforce CDP. For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, we will create an AWS S3 Activation Target and a Marketing Cloud Activation Target.

AWS S3 Activation Target

This activation target is used to publish segments to AWS S3. You will need to have your S3 access key and secret key on hand in order to create the activation target.

  1. Select Activation Targets from the top navigation menu.
  2. Click the New button to create a new entry.
  3. Select the aws | S3 external platform and click Next.
  4. Enter an easy to recognize but unique name (for example, 'CDP Segmentation Results Bucket') and click Next.
  5. Specify the S3 bucket name and parent folder provided by your admin for your activation target.
  6. Enter the S3 access key and secret key for the bucket. The S3 credentials provided must have the following permissions: s3:PutObject, s3:GetObject, s3:ListBucket, s3:DeleteObject, s3:GetBucketLocation.
    Note: To delete S3 access or secret keys, first delete the activation target.
  7. Select an export file format (for example, JSON).
  8. Click Save to create the Activation Target.

When your AWS S3 Activation Target is created the following items are added to the bucket:

  • A metadata file that describes the segment definition.
  • Data files that contain the segment members with additional attributes.
  • A segment-data folder to indicate that writing output files to the folder has completed. If this file is missing, it indicates that either the files are being written or the data was only partially written and the producer failed.

After you create and activate segments to your AWS S3 target, a sub-folder called Salesforce-c360-Segments will automatically be created when the first segment is activated to Cloud File Storage. To access the segmentation data written to the bucket:

  1. Login to aws and select the S3 service.
  2. Navigate to the bucket you configured in the Activation Target.
  3. Navigate to /Salesforce_c360_Segments to view generated segments.

The actual segments will be created with prefixes of YYYY/MM/DD/HH/{first 100 characters of segment name}_{20 characters of activation name}_{timestamp in yyyyMMddHHmmsssSSS format}.

Marketing Cloud Activation Target

Create an activation target in Salesforce CDP to publish segments to Marketing Cloud business units. Be sure configure the Marketing Cloud connector as per the instructions above first, otherwise it will not show up as a target

  1. Select Activation Targets from the top navigation menu.
  2. Click the New button to create a new entry.
  3. Select Marketing Cloud as the target and click Next.
  4. Enter an easy to recognize but unique name (for example, 'CDP Segmentation Results MC').IMPORTANT: Marketing Cloud activation target names cannot be more than 128 characters, start with an underscore, be all numbers, or include these characters: @ % ^ = < ' * + # $ / \ ! ? ( ) { } [ ] , . (space)
  5. Click Next.
  6. To add or remove business units (BUs) to receive the published segments, click the arrows between the two columns. When an activation target has multiple BUs, the activation filters the contacts by the BUs. The segment activates as a Shared Data Extension (SDE) and not as a Data Extension (DE) to Marketing Cloud. If an activation target has multiple business units configured, modify the activation target configuration to include one business unit only.
  7. Save your changes.

Your Marketing Cloud activation target is created.

Activation

Activation is the process that materializes and publishes a segment to activation platforms. An activation target is used to store authentication and authorization information for a given activation platform. You can publish your segments, including contact points and additional attributes, to the activation targets. After you create a segment in Salesforce CDP, you can publish a segment to an activation target.

Use case requirements

For the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case, create Activations to both Activation Targets: AWS S3 and Marketing Cloud.

Cross-selling money market account/Upselling mortgage account

Below are the steps to create the Activation:

  1. Select Activation Targets from the top navigation menu.
  2. Click the New button to create a new entry.
  3. Select the Segment (for example, Cross-selling money market account or Upselling mortgage account).
  4. Select one of the Activation Targets created earlier (AWS S3 or Marketing Cloud).
  5. Select Account from the 'Activation Membership' dropdown. Click Next.
  6. Select your contact points.
    Note: Selecting contact points is optional for S3 activations. When contact points are mapped, select an existing path or click Edit.
  7. To activate additional attributes, click Add Attributes.
  8. Drag the attributes Account Id and Account Name to the canvas. Click Save.
  9. From Unified Individual <ruleset>, select the Global Party field and select the path that relates from Account. Click Next.
  10. Enter a name and description for your activation.IMPORTANT: You cannot include the following characters in the name field: + ! @ # $ % ^ * ( ) = { } [ ] \ . < > / " : ? | , _ &
  11. Click Save.

This completes the configuration of CDP required for the Optimize Customer Experiences with CDP use case.
