Manage marketing channels & Configure Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys
Map every outbound channel (email, text message, push notification, custom channel) to the journey step types that can send it
Build a test email from a template, insert personalization and a conditional dynamic block, then send a proof to yourself and verify rendering
Configure a reusable content block and confirm it updates in a previously created message
Identify which consent and compliance settings gate each channel before a message can be published
Your checkpoint
A one-page channel reference sheet plus two working, proofed email messages (one with dynamic content) saved in the environment
Manage marketing channels & Configure Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys
Create and publish a marketing email, a text message, and a push notification, documenting each required field
Configure a customer journey settings record and explain how it governs consent, quiet hours, and send throttling

Complete the email designer checklist: accessible alt text, plain-text version, and UTM/link tracking
Your checkpoint
Three published, channel-ready messages plus a written checklist of pre-send validation steps for each channel
Manage segments and preferences & Configure Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys
Build a dynamic segment using at least three related-entity conditions and validate member counts against a manual query
Create a static segment by importing a contact list and reconcile any rejected rows with their error reasons
Configure a subscription center and preference center so contacts can opt into individual topics
Define a compliance profile and consent model, then verify that a contact without consent is blocked from a journey
Your checkpoint
A working dynamic segment, static segment, and preference center configuration, with a short note reconciling expected versus actual member counts
Manage journeys & Manage segments and preferences
Design and publish a multi-step journey with a segment trigger, a branch on a contact attribute, and a wait condition
Add a trigger-based journey that fires on an entity change and confirm it enrolls the right records
Test segment refresh timing and explain how refresh frequency affects journey enrollment
Document how to stop, version, and re-publish a live journey without duplicating sends
Your checkpoint
Two live journeys (one segment-triggered, one trigger-based) with a test contact passing through each branch, evidenced by journey insights screenshots
Manage journeys & Manage marketing channels
Add A/B testing or goal tracking to a journey and interpret the resulting insights
Configure a custom channel or a form-capture step that feeds a journey, then verify the pipeline end to end
Build a lead-scoring model and attach it to a journey step so engaged contacts are scored
Review journey insights and identify where contacts dropped out, then propose one concrete fix
Your checkpoint
A journey with goal tracking and lead scoring enabled, plus a written analysis of drop-off points and one remediation change
Manage events and webinars & Manage leads, contacts, and accounts
Create an event, configure registration and waitlist options, and publish a registration page
Set up a webinar with a session track and speaker records, then confirm the registration-to-attendance flow
Configure a post-event journey that follows up with attendees and non-attendees differently
Describe the lead-to-contact-to-account data model and configure a lead qualification path
Your checkpoint
A published event with a registration page, at least one test registration, and a post-event follow-up journey that branches on attendance
Configure Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys & Manage segments and preferences
Audit environment settings: data retention, double opt-in, and email compliance, and record the impact of each on journeys
Rebuild one earlier journey from scratch in under 45 minutes without notes to test recall
Resolve five deliberately broken configurations (missing consent, unpublished message, empty segment) and log each root cause
Review your weakest domain notes and rewrite them as question-and-answer flashcards
Your checkpoint
A timed rebuild of one journey plus a troubleshooting log of five resolved configuration failures
Manage marketing channels & Manage journeys & Manage events and webinars
Take a full timed practice exam and score each domain separately to find remaining gaps
Re-study only the two lowest-scoring domains and re-test those areas
Rehearse explaining out loud how a channel, segment, journey, and event connect in one end-to-end scenario
Confirm exam logistics and review the compliance and consent rules one final time
Your checkpoint
A scored practice exam with a per-domain breakdown and a one-page personal weak-spot summary
Milestones
Week 2: Can publish a proofed message on all three main channels without consulting notes
Week 4: Two journeys are live and a test contact has visibly traversed every branch
Week 6: Event registration and post-event branching work end to end with a real test registration
Week 8: Practice exam shows no domain below 70 percent and the two weakest domains have been re-tested
