Recipients, Targeting, and Segmentation & Data Model and Schema Management
Diagram how recipient targeting flows from the recipient schema through query activities to a delivery
Define the difference between targeting dimension, filtering dimension, and the recipient table in your own words
Build a segmentation query that combines at least two filter conditions and one exclusion
List the schema attributes that control which fields appear in the query editor
Your checkpoint
A one-page annotated diagram of a targeting-to-delivery pipeline plus a saved query activity you can explain line by line
Recipients, Targeting, and Segmentation & Campaign Orchestration and Workflow Design
Configure three audience-building techniques (query, list, and filtering condition) and compare their tradeoffs
Construct a workflow that splits a population by a profile attribute and routes each branch to a separate delivery
Identify where deduplication and exclusion logic belong in a targeting workflow
Explain how typologies of targeting interact with delivery preparation
Your checkpoint
A working multi-branch targeting workflow with documented split logic and a written comparison of audience techniques
Campaign Orchestration and Workflow Design & Campaign Configuration and Administration
Map the standard workflow building blocks (targeting, flow control, action, event) to their intended use
Design an orchestration that waits on an event and handles a timeout branch
Describe how the campaign and delivery approval lifecycle is configured at the instance level
Trace how operator roles and folder permissions affect who can run or edit a workflow
Your checkpoint
An event-driven orchestration workflow design document with a timeout path and an approval checkpoint
Delivery Channels and Message Configuration & Personalization, Dynamic Content, and Templates
Configure a delivery template that pre-populates subject, sender, and typology rules
Build personalization blocks with fallback values and test them against records with missing data
Set up conditional content that varies by recipient attribute and verify each variant
Compare proof and seed address strategies for validating a send
Your checkpoint
A reusable delivery template with at least two conditional content variants, proven against a small seed list
Data Model and Schema Management & Integrations, APIs, and Data Import/Export
Extend the data model with a custom schema and link it to the recipient table
Import a file with a defined schema mapping and handle rejected records via a rejection log
Export a targeted population to a flat file with a controlled column order
Describe when to use an API call versus a file-based import for inbound data
Your checkpoint
A custom schema, a documented import workflow with rejection handling, and a sample export file
Campaign Configuration and Administration & Reporting, Tracking, and Analytics
Interpret delivery logs, broad logs, and tracking logs and explain what each records
Configure a report or dashboard that surfaces opens, clicks, and bounces for a campaign
Reconcile a discrepancy between sent count and targeted count using log data
Identify the instance-level settings that control tracking and log retention
Your checkpoint
A written log-analysis walkthrough that reconciles a delivery's targeted, sent, and tracked counts with screenshots replaced by described steps
Reporting, Tracking, and Analytics & Governance, Security, and Compliance
Build a segmentation report that compares engagement across two audience segments
Apply a typology rule that enforces a contact-frequency or pressure constraint and observe its effect
Document the consent and opt-out mechanisms that must be respected in a send
Summarize data-retention and privacy obligations relevant to stored recipient data
Your checkpoint
A compliance checklist paired with a report showing the effect of an applied typology rule
Campaign Configuration and Administration & Campaign Orchestration and Workflow Design & Delivery Channels and Message Configuration
Complete a timed practice set weighted toward the heaviest domains and log every miss by domain
Re-teach your three weakest concepts from memory without notes
Re-run one end-to-end scenario from targeting through delivery and reporting
Consolidate a one-page cheat sheet of configuration defaults and workflow patterns
Your checkpoint
A scored practice log by domain plus a one-page cheat sheet covering your three weakest areas
Milestones
Week 2: Can explain and demonstrate the difference between query, list, and filtering-condition targeting without notes
Week 4: Can build a delivery template with conditional content and prove it against a seed list in under 45 minutes
Week 6: Can reconcile targeted versus sent versus tracked counts for a delivery using logs alone
Week 8: Practice log shows no domain below 70% and the three weakest domains have been re-taught from memory
