SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you manage the downstream delivery lifecycle for Salesforce Data Cloud by creating and validating activations, activation targets, and data actions so your audiences actually reach the destination you intend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Activation and destination orchestration: Create, inspect, and verify activation, activation-target, data-action, and data-action-target objects for a Data Cloud-enabled org.
  • Readiness-first guardrails: Classify act-phase readiness and inspect existing platforms/targets before mutating activation-related assets.
  • Troubleshooting for blocked delivery: Diagnose why downstream delivery is gated (for example, activation surface limitations) and guide next steps toward destination configuration and permissions.

Quick Start

Ask: "Activate this Data Cloud segment to the downstream platform in my Data Cloud-enabled org alias."

FAQPage Schema
How do I activate Data Cloud segments for downstream delivery?

Create and validate activation targets, data actions, and data action targets to ensure Data Cloud segments reach the intended downstream destination. Use the sf data360 CLI plugin to list, create, and verify activation-related artifacts in a Data Cloud-enabled org.

Why is my Data Cloud activation not delivering to the target platform?

Data Cloud activation delivery is often gated by readiness classification or activation surface limitations. Run the shared diagnose script to classify act-phase readiness, inspect existing destination platforms, and verify the delivery state in the target org.

What do I need to set up before creating Data Cloud activation targets?

Before creating Data Cloud activation targets, you need a Data Cloud-enabled org alias and must pass act-phase readiness classification via the shared diagnose script. The external sf data360 CLI plugin is also required to perform list, create, and verify operations for activation artifacts.

Can I inspect existing destination platforms before building new Data Cloud activations?

Yes, you can inspect existing destination platforms and targets before mutating activation-related assets. This readiness-first guardrail ensures deterministic destination definitions are built only after verifying the current delivery state in the target org.

Does the sf data360 CLI plugin work for verifying data action targets in Salesforce Data Cloud?

Yes, the sf data360 CLI plugin performs list, create, and verify operations for data action targets and data actions in Salesforce Data Cloud. It validates the delivery state of activation-related artifacts in a Data Cloud-enabled org.
