SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Delivering Data Cloud segments and insights to downstream platforms requires correctly sequencing destination setup, activation creation, and readiness verification, and mistakes in that order cause failed or blocked activations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Activation Management: Create, list, and inspect activations that push published segments to downstream platforms. - Destination Setup: Create activation targets and data action targets before wiring up the activation itself. - Readiness Diagnosis: Run a shared org readiness classifier for the Act phase before mutating any activation assets. - Use Case: A marketing operations engineer needs to push a published customer segment to an advertising platform; this skill inspects available platforms, creates the activation target, creates the activation, and verifies downstream delivery. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to activate an existing published segment to a downstream platform in your target org and verify the activation was created.

FAQPage Schema

How do I activate a Data Cloud segment to a downstream platform?▼

First verify the segment is published and healthy, then inspect available platforms with sf data360 activation platforms, create an activation target, and finally create the activation with sf data360 activation create. Verify the result with sf data360 activation list.

What is the difference between an activation target and a data action target in Data Cloud?▼

An activation target defines the destination for audience activations, while a data action target defines the destination for data actions. Both must be created before their corresponding activation or data action, using sf data360 activation-target create or data-action-target create.

What do I need installed to run sf data360 activation commands?▼

You need an external community sf data360 CLI plugin installed in the Salesforce CLI and a Data Cloud-enabled org. The skill also references a diagnose-org.mjs script for readiness classification before mutating activation assets.

Why does my Data Cloud activation fail or appear blocked?▼

Common causes include an unpublished or unhealthy upstream segment, missing destination configuration, or gated activation surfaces indicated by CdpActivationTarget or CdpActivationExternalPlatform errors. Inspect platforms and targets read-only first, then check permissions and destination setup.

When should I not use this activation skill for Data Cloud work?▼

Do not use it for building segments or insights, which belongs to segmentation workflows, or for query and search index work, which belongs to retrieval workflows. It also does not cover base connection setup or data ingestion.
