Question 212 - Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist discussion

The two ways that a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect syncs with a Salesforce Lead or Contact record are shared CRM ID and shared email address. A CRM ID is a unique identifier that is assigned to a Lead or Contact record in Salesforce and is synced with the corresponding prospect record in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement. A CRM ID ensures that the prospect data is matched with the correct Lead or Contact data and prevents duplicates.A CRM ID is created when a prospect is created or updated in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and a matching Lead or Contact is found or created in Salesforce, or when a Lead or Contact is created or updated in Salesforce and a matching prospect is found or created in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement5. An email address is a required field for both a prospect in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and a Lead or Contact in Salesforce. An email address is used to identify and associate a prospect with a Lead or Contact, and to trigger a sync between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce.An email address is also used to track the prospect's activities, such as email opens, clicks, form submissions, and page views5. Option B is not correct because a shared assigned user ID is not a way that a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect syncs with a Salesforce Lead or Contact record, but a result of the sync. An assigned user ID is the ID of the user who owns the prospect in Marketing Cloud Account Engagement or the Lead or Contact in Salesforce.The assigned user ID is synced between Marketing Cloud Account Engagement and Salesforce to ensure that the same user owns the prospect and the Lead or Contact, unless there are custom assignment rules in place5. Option D is not correct because a shared tracking pixel is not a way that a Marketing Cloud Account Engagement prospect syncs with a Salesforce Lead or Contact record, but a method of tracking the prospect's activities. A tracking pixel is a hidden image that is embedded in an email or a web page and sends a request to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement's server when the email or the web page is opened.A tracking pixel allows Marketing Cloud Account Engagement to record the prospect's email opens, page views, and other actions
